Title | Bank of Cape Fear ten-dollar note, 1851 |
Creator | Bank of Cape Fear (Wilmington, N.C.) |
Date | November 1, 1851 |
Description | Bank of Cape Fear ten-dollar note, 1851 |
Historical Notes | Information on surviving specimens suggests that this particular ten-dollar note was issued or placed into circulation only from the "parent" bank in Wilmington and not from any of its branches, which were located across North Carolina as far west as Asheville. The firm that engraved and printed this paper money for the Bank of Cape Fear is identified at this specimen's lower edge: Toppan, Carpenter and Company. In 1858, seven years after this note was issued, that firm would merge with seven other like concerns to form the American Bank Note Company, which today continues to produce currency, stocks, bonds, gift cards, checks, and other media of exchange and money-related documents. |
