<b>Political</b><hr><b>c. 1892 Grover Cleveland Satirical $5 Bill, Fine.</b>
3.5' x 9.25', minor edge chipping, small paper loss at upper left and lower right corners. From 'The Cleveland Bank' in Bungtown, NJ, this note 'Promises, whenever it D(am)n pleases, to pay to Bearer Five Dollars in Money, Coon Skins or Cord Wood at the option of the Bank'. A likeness of Cleveland appears at lower left. The reverse has a plain, machine-engraved design. And we thought our time had a monopoly on dirty politics!
