Yes, it does look like that but there is no red ink on it. What it the difference?
Thanks for any information provided.

I too have a bill that looks almost identical to this one. The series is 268 and the number in the upper right hand corner and the lower left corner is 40617 rather than the number in the picture. It also does not have any color in it. Please let me know, is it worth anything or a counterfeit? Thank You for your valuable time.

I too have come across the EXACT same bill described by telekonich...same 40617 serial number, etc. I believe it is a fake as it must have red ink to have been legitimate. Likely a copy made back in the 40s...maybe used as an advertising scheme...unfortunately, my best efforts thus far say it is worthless.

Did any of you find out about the one with no red ink? Are they counterfeit?
