Own This Scarce Uncut Sheet of $10 New Orleans Banknotes
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 bald eagle, a female figure holding a fasces and shield, and the bank building on the front. The back features an embellished 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 in very fine to choice condition.
