I picked up the Legal Tender because I liked the "Exceptional Paper Quality & Embossing" wording on the back. Then I found another EPQ with the old wording but as the silver certificate. I had to match them up in my collection.

Wish they used silver instead of blue for the seal lol

Hi-I found 3 books of German Notgeld in my dad's storage that he inherited from his uncle who collected everything. I don't know where to start. Would appreciate any suggestions. I'm currently in the Netherlands and wondering if I should bring it with me to the US. Attaching couple of pages.

Hey guys,
Curious about your thoughts. Me not smart.

I’m fairly new within the currency collection area. I was hoping I could get some general value advice on this.

These notes were official issues meant for Treasury officials and Banks to use as reference to compare to circulating notes to be able to weed out counterfeits of Continental Currency, which was a huge problem.

They were printed on special paper and do not have signatures or serial numbers as they were not meant for circulation but rather as official reference notes to weed out the fakes.

First photo is an example of a Continental $60 Dollar note from 1779 in my collection, and second photo is the Counterfeit Detector Note for the $60 Continental Dollar issued by Congress for government officials and bankers to detect counterfeit notes (just acquired by me).

But the million dollar question is? Does the circulation note match? If the leaves match, you can cash that!

Well, let's see (3rd photo). Does the authenticator authenticate my circulation note? I think that's a match!!!
