United States, Gold Certificate "Hillegas Note", 10 Dollars, 1922, Fr.1173

American "Gold Certificate" Paper Moneys:
American Gold certificates, favorites of collectors with their yellow and orange reverse side compositions, are paper money issued by the United States Treasury as a representative form of money from 1865 to 1933. Gold certificate paper money was put into circulation because it offered a more convenient way to pay with gold than using coins. These gold certificate notes, which stands out with its visuality, were discontinued with the law passed in 1933.
