No, THIS is a real Bank note. If you do your research on the company, In 1857, seven of the nation’s most prominent security printers merged to form the American Bank Note Company on April 29, 1858. The new company made New York City its headquarters. Less than two years later, a handful of the remaining independent bank note printers merged to form the National Bank Note Company.
The first paper currency was circulated by the US Treasury Department following the outbreak of the Civil War. Congress passed authorizing legislation for $60 million worth of these “Demand Notes” on July 17 and August 5, 1861. Under contract with the government, the novel paper money, called “greenbacks” by the public, was produced by the American Bank Note Co. and the National Bank Note Co. A total of 7.25 million notes were produced in denominations of $5, $10, and $20. In an interesting historical sidelight, American and National were also producing paper money for the Confederacy at the same time.The company would eventually go on to supply security paper and bank notes to 115 foreign countries ,(including Cuba, Jamaica, the Bahamas and a dozen other Central American Nations) Most of them at the time of the American Civil war didnt have the technology to print such currency, hence why they we're outsourced to the American Bank Note Company, N.Y.
