Tasteful artistic nudity on currency gives it class.

Those are some big Czechoslovakian tits right out there. You'd think the dead guy in the picture would be smiling a little.

If you worked in a coal mine in the 19th to early 20th century, you got paid in company scrip that was only good at the company store. Total company control of your entire existence.

"You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store…"

Tennesee Ernie Ford

Scrip note from 1862, the middle of the Civil War.
Very historic if not numismatically valuable, I wouldn't part with it. I sent a photo copy of it to the guy who literally wrote the book about coal company scrip in 1990. He offered $34. No sale.
Maybe for $1000.

My dad worked the anthracite mines close to Shamokin, PA. I wonder if he was paid in company script. Interesting info, thanks.

My maternal grandfather worked in the mines. Then, he took over the company store.

He barely made a living until he left that area and started a real store that actually took in money. He was able to buy a used Model T Ford a couple years later.

A $20 bill printed on paper that mysteriously had an ordinary fruit sticker on it sold Friday for $25,300, an auction company official said.

The famed "Del Monte Note," a $20 bill with a Del Monte sticker on it that sold on eBay for $10,100, sold for $25,300 at the Heritage Galleries and Auctioneers in Dallas on Friday.

The flawed note bears a red, green and yellow Del Monte sticker next to Andrew Jackson's portrait.


The buyer at the auction in Orlando, Fla., did not want to be identified, said Dustin Johnston, director of auctions for Heritage Galleries and Auctioneers of Dallas.

The 1996 bill originated at a U.S. Treasury Department printing facility in Fort Worth, but how the fruit tag found its way onto the paper of the greenback is unknown.

"I've collected for probably seven years now and nothing comes close to the way people react to it — their eyes pop out," said Daniel Wishnatsky, a Phoenix currency collector who bought the bill online in 2003 for $10,100.

Jason Bradford, president of PCGS Currency in Newport Beach, Calif., authenticated that the error was genuine and not faked outside the printing plant.

Currency goes through three printing stages, Bradford said: first the back is printed, then the face, and then the bill receives serial number and treasury seal stamps.
In the case of the Del Monte note, the seal and serial number are both printed on top of the sticker, meaning the fruit tag must have found its way onto the bill midway through the process, he said.
The note, in nearly perfect condition, has achieved celebrity status among currency collectors, appearing on the covers of the Bank Note Reporter and Numismatic News.
