Message:: [QUOTE="camlov2, post: 993482, member: 26479"]Earlier today I posted a picture of one of my bills on another thread. When looking at this blown up picture I noticed a few things about the bill I hadn't seen when holding the bill in hand. I decided to pull out a handful of bills and look at the details of each. These bills are works of art and I think we can sometimes miss all the details that should be appreciated. For this contest I ask that you take out a bill (any US currency , current or obsolete) and study it. See if you find anything you hadn't noticed before. Once you are done all you need to do is post a picture of the bill and a share a detail that interests you.for example-National currency notes were produced for many smaller banks and that banks charter number was printed twice on the front of the bill. (the large style bills had this number in a different color like the blue below) <img src="http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii174/camlov2/zoom2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />The interesting thing on these older bills is that each one was designed so that the charter number was also built into the outer frame of the bill. Does this mean they had 10,000 different designs, one for each charter?!  (click on picture below to see what I am talking about)<img src="http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii174/camlov2/zoom.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
