$900,000,000 bill

I deleted the bill from the article because it's a pretty obvious fake. Among the problems:

The paper it's printed on is wrong. The format of the serial number is wrong-both in the number of digits, the number of letters, and the font.

It uses the Treasury Seal design that wasn't adopted until the mid-1960s-after silver certs were no longer being issued.

Every piece of currency has a unique design. This bill steals the portrait of Grant from the $50 and the border from the $1 silver certificate. For the back, it uses elements from the Series 1928 $1 bill.

The printing quality is, frankly, terrible. It looks like someone scanned several bills into a computer at a low resolution, stuck elements together to make it look like a "new" design, and the printed it out on a cheap printer.

Harley Speelman died in 1932, and neither Speelman nor White was holding office when this note was purportedly issued.

The US held about $3 billion in silver during the 1930s and 40s. For every dollar's worth of silver certificates that were issued, there had to be at least one dollar in silver held in reserve in case the note was ever exchanged. Issuing a $900 million silver certificate would have required the Treasury to pull about 30% of the US monetary supply.

Those are some of the problems with this note. Putting it in the "fake denominations" article is a fine place for it.Almostfm (talk) 03:38, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
