Owner's Description

I believe GEM emergency notes will retain their value. They are incredible historical evidence. These notes were basically to prevent our currency and thus our entered financial system from being compromised by issuing them in North Africa during "operation Torch" when the U.S. army first met the Nazi army in North Africa. Similarly, we issued these on the island that served as our outermost outpost in the direct route of the Empire of Japan from attacking our west coast. Thus, in a hundred or so years, these notes become more important due to the fascinating history behind these emergency notes. Paid $855.
