<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coin_nut, post: 2904189, member: 80148&quot;]Years ago I worked on banana boats out of New York. We had a special strong room down in #3 hold called a &quot;specie locker&quot;, for carrying money. We hauled millions of dollars worth of paper money for different countries in South America. I looked at some of the bank notes in different countries and saw the small print &quot;American Banknote Printing Company&quot;. Also, note the mintmark &quot;A&quot; on some coins from Ethiopia and Vietnam. A for Paris. I imagine many of the poorer and more primitive countries have their coins and paper money made elsewhere.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
