Description:  Here is a bank note you aren’t going to find in your change at McDonald’s.  These notes were issued towards the end of the Civil War.  If their survival wasn’t already going to be difficult, these were actually worth more than the face value of $100 after the interest accrued.  There are currently only about 15 $100 compound interest bearing treasury notes known to exist.

The design of these notes is rather interesting.  This is the only piece of United States money that shows a full body shot of George Washington.  The two seated women are supposed to be The Guardian and Justice.  These notes have at least two different dates on them.  There is a date that references an Act in 1863 or 1864 and the other red date can be from 1864 or 1865.
