The Society of Paper Money Collectors (SPMC) has published the latest issue of Paper Money. At my request editor Benny Bolin kindly forwarded the table of contents and
an excerpt of an article of interest to students of post Civil War obsolete notes (appearing elsewhere in this issue). Thanks! -Editor
Series of 1923 Porthole S.C. Doomed—Lee Lofthus
The Series of 1923 $5 "porthole" silver certificates may appear to be a simple one-and-done type note from a numismatic perspective, but the governmental story behind them was
hardly simple.
$1 Series of 1899 S.C. Signature Combinations--Peter Huntoon
Identification of the known engraving varieties on the intaglio face and back plates used to print the Series of 1899 $1 silver certificates and a timeline for when those plates
were on the presses is presented.
The Delaware & Hudson Canal & its Paper Money—Q. David Bowers
Obsolete banknotes from the Delaware & Hudson Canal that started in his hometown.
WW2 British Military Authority Notes for Greece--Evangelos Fys
Under Law 18 of 9th November 1944 it was decided that British Military Authority banknotes would circulate along with the new currency in Greece.
Commonwealth Edison's Federal Dividend Coupon System—Loren Gatch
A part of ComEd's strategy was its marketing of consumer appliances and electrical accessories through outlets called "Edison Electric Shops." One aspect was its use of the
Federal Dividend Coupon System.
Seal Varieties on Series 1928 FRNs—Peter Huntoon
