Title: Gold and Silver Note
Post by: actuary6 on September 27, 2007, 04:18:08 pm

Many collectors might have a note redeemable in gold or silver, but how many actually have a note made of gold or silver?!

I just acquired this 23K gold and silver legal tender note from Antigua and Barbuda.  These are fairly cheap to purchase ($30 CDN or so) and are a great conversation piece.  They are unique, but not terribly rare.  The $100 series features famous pirates.  The note pictured features Captain Morgan - the very same pirate a popular rum is named after.

I must say I love mine, especially since I picked up 8 for an average of $10 shipped.  :D
