Details


A bit of Tom-foolery for you to frame and put on your office wall or give as gift to show your wealth of friendship ;)

  This 1000 dollar bill is the infamous serial number 8894 reproduction printed on fake parchment. The Bank of The United States was a private bank and the United States of America was their biggest customer. Corruption and fraud were rampant and after quite a battle between President Andrew Jackson, Congress and the bank’s supporters the bank was finally put out of its misery in the 1840’s.

The 1000 dollar bill with the infamous “8894” serial number comes from a firm that copied the original with the above serial number to use for advertising purposes.These notes were reproduced before Congress passed the “Hobby Protection Act” requiring the words “copy” or “Replica” on reproductions of coins or paper money.

This measures 7.5" wide by 4" tall
