NOTE: From Universal description: “Emergency script 'coined' by Chamber of Commerce bears the picture of a succulent bi-valve on its face, and takes its name from the shell currency used by local Indians years ago. In four denominations, Two Bits, Four Bits, One Buck and Five Bucks, the temporary bills are in great vogue, $10,000 worth being printed for residents whose funds are tied up in the town's only financial institution, now closed. Also, hundreds of dollars worth have been purchased by coin collectors and curio seekers in all parts of the globe. An unusual experiment in token-coinage that is stimulating prosperity in this section.” Depression NOTE: FOR ORDERING See: www.footagefarm.co.uk or contact us at: Info@Footagefarm.co.uk
