Here I am again with More currency, no errors this time. Just Funny backs. I have RED seal funny back that was used ONLY in Puerto Rico. Threw in a few more for comparison. Show yours.
kinda guessed you'd <perk> on that since you are part Puerto Rican. (my EX. was from Santurce, P.R.) To be honest I'll have to research more myself. I just never seen a RED seal Funny back and that was the info on it when I bought it from the shop MANY years ago. I googled and found out it was to help with the Puerto Rican Economy back then.
From what I recall the red seal was originally issued to work as a stopgap measure for dollar bills during the Depression. However, by the time these notes were printed they were no longer needed, so they went into a vault for around twenty years. Then they were used in Puerto Rico from 1949. Here is the site I remembered this from.
Few people know now, up until 1934 Cuba didn’t issue its own currency, a brief attempt in 1905 failed. So they used US paper money - mostly Silver Certificates until 1934 when the US BEP printed the Cuban “Certificato de Plata” notes.
