<p>[QUOTE=&quot;alcochaser, post: 543642, member: 11241&quot;]I walked into a coin store the other day and something I saw caught my eye. And unusually it was currency, or at least I think it was. It was a one dollar note issued not by a Bank or the US Goverment, but by a railroad. The Fort Wayne and Southern if memory serves.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am a HUGE railroad fan and I did not even know these were issued.</p><p><br /></p><p>they wanted $500 for it. It did look in remarkable condition. No idea if it was worth that.</p><p><br /></p><p>I assume these are privately issued currency, but why would a railroad issue them. What did the railroad use to back them? I saw no silver promisary note.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just Curious.....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
