Iowa Bank Note Book Released

The Higgins Foundation and Museum has announced the publication of the reference book Iowa National Bank Notes, A Comprehensive Census of the Notes and History of the Banks by James C. Ehrhardt and Steven J. Sweeney.

The book presents detailed information on the census of 11,058 reported Iowa notes. This is about 3,000 more notes than previously published sources contain.

Listings for each note detail type, denomination, serial numbers, plate position letter, Friedberg number, condition, bank signatures and pedigrees to the Higgins Museum and other public institutions or events. Data summarizing the census by town, county, note type and Treasury signatures are also listed.

A 32-page chapter provides full-color images of all known types of Iowa notes, as well as many rare and interesting notes. Capsule histories of several large hoards are given by authors who were involved with them. The book also offers a study of the growth and decline of banks. Case studies are provided on the Abram Rutt National Bank and the 1932 bank holiday in the town of Nevada.
