FEATURED WEB PAGE: LATIN AMERICAN BANKNOTE MAPS

This week's Featured Web Page is an article by Miguel Chirinos about Historical Maps on Latin American Paper Money.

Since 1870, the American Bank Note Company in the United States was responsible for printing the majority of the paper money used in the Latin American countries. In that time, most of the private banks issued banknotes including some allegorical vignettes for commerce and industry. For instance, a series of notes of Banco de Panama (Colombia) shows a globe with a map of the American continent at center (S722-725). Probably those are the first notes (dated ca.1869) with a map in Latin America’s history. Also, a similar design on 50 pesos of El Banco Nacional de los Estados Unidos de Colombia (1880) and on 100 dollars of Hawaiian Islands (1879).
