1935A $1 Silver Certificate North Africa,WWII Emergency Currency Signatures of Julian & Morgenthau
1935A $1 Silver Certificate North Africa, WWII Emergency Currency Signatures of Julian & Morgenthau Grades vf, very fine. 1935a $1 Silver Certificate North Africa, Signatures of Julian & Morgenthau. It was the darkest days of World War II, just after Pearl Harbor. Were the Nazis under Field Marshall Rommel preparing a massive push through North Africa? If they did, and succedded, they could use the millions of dollars in currency the seized to buy war material. To thwart this, these Silver Certificates were sent to North Africa. Each has a yellow seal on the front. If the Nazis did succeed to over run our expeditiary force, the currency would be demonetized. After the threat passed, most of these "North Africa" Notes were destroyed. Today they're hard to find.
