PMG Population Report Now Includes Obsolete Banknotes

Paper Money Guaranty® (PMG®) has added a category for Obsolete Notes to the United States section of the PMG Population Report. Catalog numbers and census data are available for more than 56,000 Obsolete Notes that PMG has certified in an easily searchable format by state and city.

Obsolete Notes were issued by local banks across the country from 1782 to 1866. Their dizzying array of designs make them a fascinating challenge for paper money collectors, especially those who focus on a particular city or state. They were swept aside by the new era of federal currency that began during the Civil War.
