Common Currency Replicas

Replicas of major currency rarities are very common. In the 1960's they were produced as promotional items for cereal boxes. Most ranged from Colonial Currency and Obsolete Bank Notes from the early to mid 1800's to issues of the Confederate States of America. Today the same replicas are often sold at Civil War battlefield gift shops and other history related gift and novelty shops. Most replicas are printed on a yellowish-brown paper that is generally very stiff and even brittle. Today, none of these notes are valuable. Here are some of the commonly seen issues.
