<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GTeachman, post: 3006196, member: 93430&quot;]Back (mid to late 60s) when my dad was introducing me to currency collection (mostly coins) I learned about silver certificates, etc.&nbsp; I found a $5 United States Note bill in circulation and knew it was different from all the Federal Reserve Note bills.&nbsp; But, like a lot of young teenagers I had my eye set on a model of some kind of car.&nbsp; So I spent the $5 and got the model.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I have been kicking myself for almost 50 years about that stupid purchase.&nbsp; I just bought (I prefer to find in circulation) a Series 1953 $5 United States Note.&nbsp; I was so happy to see it and buy it I didn&#039;t look at it carefully.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It has a circular ink stamp over the legal tender wording with the word Thule and a date of 1954.&nbsp; The only Thule I know is an Air Force Base in Greenland and it&#039;s been around since before 1954.&nbsp; Why would the base paymaster&#039;s office or even the base exchange stamp a bill with the base name?</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m curious, but mostly I&#039;m glad to get an United States Note bank note back in my collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks,</p><p><br /></p><p>GTeachman[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
