I use Google Alerts a lot to send me stuff on most of my counties. You have to sort through a lot of stuff that has no relevance to what you want to post on the site but every once in a while you get a golden nugget. Yesterday I got something that piqued my interest. It dealt with National Bank Notes printed by The First National Bank in one of my counties. I guess I "kind" of always knew that some banks printed their own money in the USofA at one time, but had never really thought much about it. Now, I'm curious as a cat. If something piques my interest I have to learn more about it. It's kind of a curse in some ways. My poor old head is stuffed with tons of absolutely useless trivia. I know just a little bit about lots of stuff. If your interested in such things Wikipedia has a page about it at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Bank_Note There are sites that will list the banks in whatever state that were chartered to print the notes. One I found for Wyoming is: http://www.nationalcurrencyvalues.com/National-Currency/Wyoming.aspx I don't know if this subject is something that I will include in a site, but, maybe if it could be tied to people.............. For instance on the Coles County, Illinois, site I have a history booklet done by the local bank for the centennial of Mattoon. It was published by the Mattoon National Bank in 1955. It gives a history of the bank at the end of the booklet. In the early days one of the banks that merged to form todays bank was one that printed the bank notes. That ties the printing to the people that formed the bank. Otherwise, it's kind of interesting from a strictly historical point of view. -- A veteran is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a blank check made payable to ‘The United States of America’ for any amount, up to and including their life. _ _... ..._ _ _._ ._ ..... ._.. ... .._
