Title: Neat eBay pickup today: $1 Currency Bands featuring change over to $1 Coin
Post by: Wizard1 on October 28, 2010, 09:49:37 pm

I saw these and thought they were pretty neat, so I picked them up =) These gummed currency bands were made for $1 Notes and feature some information printed in the center regarding the change over to the $1 Coin. Cool little piece of history

I agree, that is a neat little piece of history.  I haven't seen anything like it before either.

Hi Wizard,

Would you be kind enough to type out the text on the bands?  I have bad eyes...I'm getting old!  :)

Thanks,
Dean
