April 16th finds:
These three 1954 $5 notes have interesting things written on them.
The first note has $200 written on it. Normally, I don’t care too much if the note only has a dollar figure written on it, but I had to buy it with the other more interesting $5s as a lot.
The second $5 has the date June 2nd ‘71 written on it followed by the name Wally Musikowsky the “star”*

The third 1954 $5 has the names Sonny and Gyles written on it and the year 1972 in old school cursive numbers.
What I find interesting is that these notes represent a snapshot of the currency that was in circulation at that particular time.
I imagine that it would be possible to find the occasional 1954 $5, 1972 $5s and of course 1979 $5s in circulation in the late ‘70s- early ‘80s. It would have been an exciting time to be collecting.
One more thing…check out the US $1. Someone decided that George Washington looked better with a moustache!

Enjoy!
