Own This Scarce Uncut Sheet of $100 Banknotes – Over 160 Years Old!

This is your chance to own beautifully engraved bank notes created by the same firm that printed America's first postage stamps – Rawdon, Wright, Hatch & Edson.  These bank notes were produced for the Canal Bank of New Orleans and include a portrait of George Washington as well as a scene depicting typical riverside commerce along the Mississippi.  The reverse side of the bank notes includes an orange engraving with the bank name.

Pieces of American History

Like stamps, these bank notes are windows into the past.  They represent an era when so-called "improvement banks" were created in Louisiana.  Each of these banks' charters required them to fund different public improvements such as the building of canals, railroads, and more.

The Canal Bank of New Orleans (as you'd expect from its name) helped fund the construction of a canal that helped support the bustling port city of New Orleans.  Since these types of canals have been mostly filled in today, these bank notes represent lost pieces of US history you'll love owning.  Hurry and order today – only ONE uncut sheet available!
