<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsalexan, post: 1965915, member: 24274&quot;]Here are three foreign notes from the time period of U.S. obsoletes. These were printed in 1852 but never issued. They were put out by Hungarian revolutionary Lajos Kossuth (you can see his printed signature) with hopes of using them to help raise funds for a revolt against the Austria-Hungarian Hapsburg Empire.</p><p><br /></p><p>For a short period in 1848 Kossuth had successfully established an independent Hungarian government. It was crushed the following year and Kossuth went into exile, seeking support in Europe and the U.S. Though he became a popular speaker, the cause never gained ground and the notes became nothing more than historic remainders.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]347953[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]347954[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]347955[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
