Check out the 1914 FRN!

[Cebu_4_2]

Friend of mine asks if it's worth anything. I have absolutely no clue about it, what say ye?

[Liquid]

Looks great! All I see is a blank screen which is what an FRN is worth anyhow.

You going to post a picture of it?

[Cebu_4_2]

what a dork! I smited myself.

I just gave ya good karma to offset that. Thanks for posting the pics! They look great, that's a cool note. Have no idea what it's worth, but cool nonetheless.

My brother collects bank notes, and yes, there is a market/interest for them. Looks like it's in great shape too!

That's a neat one, but pretty thrashed. I just got a silver certificate to help educate co-workers about the fed. There's no denying the theft of our money when they see how mislead we have been.

Just found this, you could use it as a starting point,and yes, your bill looks worn...and has several "folds", probably on the low end

"If your bill says National Currency and has a blue seal, I found various listings with retail prices ranging from $60 to $100 depending on the bill's condition.

If you want to sell it you should get a couple of bids from dealers, or go the eBay route. You'll get wholesale from a dealer but it'll be less hassle unless you're already set up on eBay. :

It's worth exactly $1.

You could make some counterfeit ones since it doesn't have all the anti counterfeiting crap.

There's no denying the theft of our money when they see how mislead we have been.That's a good idea, but an old FRN is probably better because you can show that the only difference is that they removed the part about it being redeemable for lawful "money".
At which point you ask them, if an FRN was redeemable in lawful money, what does that make the FRN? Unlawful money?

This was an interesting year note to own 1963
One is a US note and one is a Rothschild note
I believe they both circulated at the same time up until the Ashkanazi Jews peeled JFK's head open.

I used to have a 100 bill with strange colored stampings, 1st ex thought it be cool to snipe it from me. It did say redeemable for gold, don't remember the year but don't think it was as old as 1914.

I have a five in the red ink too, it's a 1953 and under the date is a b.

Why doesn't the note in the OP mention gold or silver anywhere? 1914 notes and hard money were still freely exchangeable.

It says right on it, that the Fed will pay One Dollar to the bearer on demand. If one were to have done so, you'd have probably gotten a silver Dollar.

Edit to add: the statement of redeemability in gold or lawful money is on the backside at the bottom.
As seen on a 20 here.

Here's a better scan of a similar Bill so you can see what it also says at the top.
i.e. that it's secured either by US Certificates of indebtedness or paper gold. I'm betting on the former.

Good point. I guess I am used to seeing the newer note in the series, which made a big deal out of announcing 'in silver.'


I suppose the earlier you go, the more synonymous 'dollar' is with 'silver'. I looked it up in Black's law dictionary, and and lawfully, a dollar can only be a weight of silver or gold.

[Joe King]

Good point. I guess I am used to seeing the newer note in the series, which made a big deal out of announcing 'in silver.'I don't believe that FRNs have ever said "redeemable in silver" on them. That'd be a silver certificate. Which is different from an FRN.


For anyone wanting to show others the differences in old Notes, the thing to have is an FRN like this one. (http://www.panix.com/~clay/currency/1955D-001.jpg)

With a Note like that it's easy to show others that the only thing actually different between it and a current one is that it is no longer redeemable in lawful money.

It'll give them something to think about.
...and you may have just planted a seed.
