Participation in banking was prohibited in Iowa for the first 11 years. Had you signed up for a bank account between 1846 - 1857 you would have been participating in a criminal activity based upon the organic founding document of the State of Iowa, the 1846 constitution. Why would you not believe participating in banking at the present day is not as criminal as during the first years of existence of the State? The State morphed into an entity that accepted banking activities so long as they got their share of the activity.
