CELEBRATING THE BEAUTIFUL 1896 SILVER CERTIFICATES

In 1873, Congress passed the Fourth Coinage Act, which put the U.S. on the Gold Standard and demonetized silver. In order to appease silver interests, the Treasury began issuing silver certificates, which were paper currency that could be exchanged for an equivalent amount of silver dollar coins. These large banknotes were paper currency of unparalleled beauty and often featured intricately detailed engravings of allegorical themes and historical figures.

The 1896 $1, $2, and $5 certificates, now known as the Educational Series, were exceptionally exquisite and depicted technology that was brand new in the 19th century. The set also includes a $5 Ulysses S. Grant note and the popular $1 Black Eagle note, which features the portraits of Presidents Lincoln and Grant.
