The National Bank Note Census Forum

Welcome to the NBNC Forum. We are experimenting with having a forum and welcome any and all constructive feedback. Many of the rules will be made up as we go along, but here are a few to start with:

• This is a forum for National Bank Notes and National Bank related material only. Any other posts will be deleted.

• National Bank related material will be broadly interpreted and includes but is not limited to the following National Bank items: vintage bank photos, checks, letterhead, stocks, advertisements, other printed material signed by National Bank officers, ephemera and other objects with the bank’s name printed on it.

• Constructive feedback is always welcome and generates discussion.

• Only NBNC members have the option to post threads or make comments. If you are a member, please go to the PREFERENCES tab (or click on your name in the upper right corner) and choose a Forum nickname for yourself.

• Once you have chosen a nickname it can not be changed.
