New information has been added and valuations updated, making it possible to establish the value of any note. Paper Money of the United States has been an invaluable asset to currency collectors and numismatists. It also possesses an appeal and value to lovers of Americana, of the fine art of engraving, and students of American history, finance and economics.Banks will find this book especially useful in that it makes possible the immediate identification and valuation of all obsolete but still legal tender currency. It is a book which belongs in every library, public and private.

Ratings and reviews

Bought this book for over $40, and it refuses to open now. Got literally a few price checks out of it. FIX THIS PROBLEM.

If you need Fr#'s or simply to find a value or information on a note this book is a must have. I find myself using it daily. It lists basic information on all notes and it the standard for cataloging your collection.

Awesome book one of my many bibles
