FEDERAL PRISON BANK OF ALCATRAZ OVERSTAMPWe've often discussed overstamped banknotes. An item pictured in the new book on Prison Money (described elsewhere in this issue) prompted me to reach out to co-author Bob Hewey for more information. -Editor
"Federal Prison Bank of Alcatraz 1955" overstamp Bob writes: "I bought it off of eBay in 2012 and I've seen a couple of others of the same type on eBay but never another denomination or for a different prison. I don't have any information on why or how it was used."
I'd never seen or heard of these before. Can anyone help? -Editor
