They are considered legal tender, and are either rare, scarce, or unique.</p><p><br /></p><p>What should be done with them? Why is not appropriate to collect them if you&#039;re lucky enough to come across one at a good price?</p><p><br /></p><p>A good example of 99% likely intentional mischief is the &quot;Del Monte&quot; note.</p><p><a href="http://www.delmontenote.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.delmontenote.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.delmontenote.com</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
