  • United States Paper Money including:
    • Large Size

    • National Currency

National currency

Currency on parchment paper - Probably 75%! of the inquiries I get concern parchment paper currency.

Regrettably, if your note is printed on parchment paper, there is almost a 100% chance that your note is a reproduction.

Notes like this were - and are still! - printed as souvenirs and advertising gimmicks.

If you want to learn more, search Google. Use use your serial number and the word "reproduction." Ron's Currency has an excellent list of known reproductions, fakes, and bogus notes.
