Just 14 Notes Completes your Colonial Currency Collection!

Colonial notes were printed in 

all 13 colonies...

Colonial notes were printed in All 13 colonies but are becoming increasingly rare. The most popular way to collect colonial notes is to find and purchase a note from each Colonial State.
So why should there be 14 notes in a Colonial Currency Collection? Because in addition to at least one note from each colony, you will want one or more Continental Currency notes. 
Continental Currency notes were issued through the Continental Congress and helped finance the revolutionary war. Please see the attached note

Silver and gold were in very short supply and the colonies had no mint to produce coins. Thus, the creation of paper Colonial Notes.

Ben Franklin printed many Pennsylvania and Delaware notes. Importantly, his nature unique leaf prints on the backs of notes were effective counterfeit protectors. His business name appears on notes printed in 1764 and earlier. He had a partner named Hall who teamed up with Sellers after Franklin's retirement from the printing trade. Pennsylvania also used the New York City trick of issuing notes for specific government expenditures. The Insane Asylum Note (actually the Walnut Street Jail) and the Lighthouse Note raised money for public works and community infrastructure such as jail buildings, piers, and lighthouses.

MPC Collections ROCK!!

Military Payment Certificate (MPC) Collections

There were 13 issues of MPCs. These 13 issues occurred from September 1946 until mid- 1973 and began with Series 461 and ended with Series 692. They were issued to our US Military personnel overseas. The government's primary purpose in issuing MPCs was to control Europe's growing black market and to keep American cash from getting into the hands of our enemies.

Highly Collectible and Under Valued

You may ask: "Why are these MPCs undervalued?" The reason is simple -- Most GI’s were unable to keep the notes in good condition! Furthermore, very few MPCs were saved; soldiers were given just a few days notice before an old series became worthless and a new series came into effect. 

Importantly, however, many of the G.I.'s who brought a few notes home as souvenirs became the first collectors.

If you decide to put a set together remember that it is very easy to compile a complete MPC fractional set --  which is the 5c 10c 25c and the 50c.

I have put a world class Gem set together and have taken the PCGS registry award for the many years.
A few years ago when I was at a major show, I could find some nice pieces for sale on the floor. However, as demand increases, these notes are becoming more scarce. Now is a GREAT time to put your MPC collection together -- these collections will skyrocket in value as demand for these scarce notes escalates!!

Confederate Notes -- a financial history of the US Confederacy

CSA Made History with 7 Issues of Confederate Notes

The Confederate States of America issued a total of seven issues of Confederate Notes during its existence beginning with the Act of March 9th, 1861 and ending with the Act of February 17th, 1864.

The first Confederate Notes were issued through the Confederacy's original capital of Montgomery, Alabama and these notes are considered extremely rare. Once the state of Virginia seceded and joined the Confederacy, the capital was moved to Richmond in May 1861. All Confederate Notes (second through seventh issue) were issued through Richmond.
