HIGGINS MUSEUM COIN AND BANK BAGS

George Cuhaj is the curator of the Higgins Museum of National Bank Notes, and he passed along this information about coin and bank bags in the museum's collection. -Editor

You are brave for venturing into the bank bag / coin bag / deposit pouch field.

They are partly utilitarian for coin, bank notes, and document transport and storage and partly serving an advertising / customer convenience purpose.

Attached are representative photos of bags in the Higgins Museum reference collection. We have plenty of them, with litte duplication.

As to the Coin Bags, note the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago bag formerly said Gold Coin, and from the production code 5,000 were made or ordered on April 21 1933.
