1854 This is a $3 note issued on The Merchants Bank of Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas. The bill is signed by L.Ayer, president and E.N. Raymond, cashier. From the latter part of the 1700’s through the early 1870’s obsolete currency (often referred to as Broken Bank Notes) came from many sources, i.e.; States, Counties, Municipalities, Military, Banks, Corporations, and Private Merchants just to mention a few. Most people don’t realize that before the U.S. Government started regulating the banking industry in 1861, the aforementioned had their own money printed and thus provided collectors with lots of different themes and varieties.
