About the National Bank Note eBook collection: The series provides a visual tour through the National Bank Note plate proofs held in the National Numismatic Collection at the National Museum of American History. These large size notes were issued from 1863 to 1929 by thousands of banks throughout the country and territories, in various denominations, during three Charter Periods. It was the most extensive series of paper money produced by the United States. The reference set also has 330 tables on 475 pages with over 116,500 words. The 4-500 completed titles, as planned, will include Overviews, Indexes and Close-ups by Denomination.
