SPMC PARTNERS WITH NEWMAN PORTAL

Paper Money, the journal of the Society of Paper Money Collectors (SPMC), is now available on the Newman Portal for the years 1962 – 2011. Currently issued six times per year, Paper Money covers the gamut of currency issues, including obsoletes, National Bank notes, federal currency and more. Articles are written to a high standard and often incorporate archival research published nowhere else.

Paper Money can be searched on the Newman Portal by using the advanced search and entering “Society of Paper Money Collectors” in the author box. A search on “Rittenhouse,” for example, reveals an interesting forgery. This thousand-dollar issue of the Bank of the United States, c, 1840, depicts David Rittenhouse in the lower left corner. Fakes are identified by the serial number (8894), and so to Rittenhouse, first Director of the U.S. Mint, goes the honor of being associated with one of the most often forged notes in the United States.

The Newman Portal wishes to thank the SPMC, and president Shawn Hewitt, for their assistance with this project.
