United States 1934 New Jersey City of Asbury Park Tax Anticipation Note One Dollar Recovery Bond specimen, green engraved design, serial A0000, Depression era municipal bond instrument

United States 1934 - New Jersey 1 Dollar City of Asbury Park Tax Anticipation Note Recovery Bond Specimen (March 31 Issue)

The engraved legal text states that the City of Asbury Park, a municipal corporation of the State of New Jersey, for value received acknowledges itself indebted and promises to pay to bearer the sum of One Dollar. The note was issued at the office of the City Treasurer and does not bear interest prior to maturity, consistent with its intended use as a rapidly redeemable anticipation instrument. It is expressly acceptable in payment for and discharge of any taxes thereafter payable to the city, reinforcing its dual function as both a municipal obligation and a fiscal settlement medium.

United States 1974 1 Dollar Federal Reserve Note from the Chicago District showing Paper Jam Error at lower right margin, PMG 45 Choice Extremely Fine, with visible folded and misfed corner

United States 1974 - 1 Dollar Federal Reserve Note, Chicago District Paper Jam Error (Friedberg 1908-G, GD Block)

The Bureau of Engraving and Printing’s multi-stage process involves extremely fine tolerances, with paper sheets passing at high speed through multiple presses-first for back printing, then face, and finally for seals and serials. If a small moisture change or static buildup causes the paper to slip, jam, or bunch up, a localized buckle can form. When such an obstruction passes through the press, it distorts the ink transfer in that area. Once the paper tension resumes, the resulting note bears visible folds, wrinkles, or tears along one margin. In this specimen, the lower right corner exhibits the crumpled and misfed edge typical of a partial jam, accompanied by sharp ink displacement along the lower border.
