I have collected obsolete bank notes for many years on a small scale. I love them, their history and beauty, They are colorful. I greatly enjoyed your video.🌞 Mark
The amount of info, technique, knowledge, and humor is so well balanced. Awesome job! You really do well to explain ( especially to silver stackers) why currency is so important. I have said it in my videos, you can’t use silver as a world currency because there just isn’t enough. Less than 1 ounce per person.
Steve - my subtle way of fighting back against "hard currency". Our country would have never survived without paper money - good, bad and ugly. Appreciate the comment, the kind words and support. Thank you sir.
Watched this a second time today. I got hooked on obsoletes a few weeks ago and decided to see if I could find any from The Bank of Granville, Ohio, my hometown.
Pretty sure that the leaves used on those early Colonial and Continental notes inspired the leafy and botanical borders used on notes to even today with the $1 obverse. As a Minnesotan, it was really fun to see and hear the names of people and towns of Minnesota.
Very nice video bud! I too love obsoletes as the collecting potential is endless. Love the polar bear note! That needs to be added to your collection someday ;) The DIX story is such an interesting one. I've heard about most of those myths and like you believe the most likely theory is the Mason-Dixon line. However, it is rad that paper currency has some fantasy towards this. Anyhow, thanks for taking us along my friend!
Ben Franklin began printing at the age of 12 when he worked for his older brother James at the New England Courant.They never got along and Ben ran away when he was like 16 or 17.The last bank to print obsolete currency was thought to be Diamond State Bank in Seaford, Delaware, sometime in February,1866.Theodore Hamm inherited the brewery from Andrew Keller when he died mining for gold in California.I love your narration, you should work for the history channel
Thanks JRW3! Thanks for the nice comments and the additional history. The Hamm Family. Their story is a bit intertwined, the kidnapping, etc. are kind of a big deal in my area. And funny you say that I work for my local historical society.
Thanks for this very informative video. I actually own a Dayton remainder. I had quite a chuckle over your comments about that hairstyle. Yeah, he was a looker alright. 🤡

Thanks Mark - Then I believe you will like the next one. Appreciate the kind words.
Great video! I always learn something new from watching your videos-- it's actually multiple "somethings"!
Thanks Jo - I am just thankful I can walk and chew gum some days.

Thanks George - fun video to put together and Obsoletes are fantastic.

I get it! Large size notes were a gateway drug to Obsoletes for me! Good luck with the search!
I always appreciate your history lesson !!! Now, I will look for "DIX" notes !!!
Thanks! And a great note to have - I'm still searching!

That makes sense - never have heard that - but it would explain the connection. Have to research that - thanks and Go Gophers!
Great video. Well done. Very interesting!!
The notes are beautiful. I like Confederate and obsoletes and silver certificates.
Thanks for the kind words and Confederates and Silver Certificates are great to collect and massive history.

Thanks Silver Surfer - still thinking about the original Red Book - so cool.
@@PolarCurrency Been getting all kinds of really neat things in. Can't wait to share! Thanks again for the vid bud!

Thanks for the kind words and yeah that Mr. Dayton's hair - it had to have been weird even for the 1850s! What remainder denomination do you have?
@@PolarCurrency I have the 1 dollar remainder.
