Silver certificates are a type of representative money issued between 1878 and 1964 in the United States as part of its circulation of paper currency. They were produced in response to silver agitation by citizens who were angered by the Coinage Act of 1873, which had effectively placed the United States on a gold standard. Since 1968, silver certificates have been redeemable only in Federal Reserve Notes and are thus obsolete, but they remain legal tender at their face value and hence are still an accepted form of currency. This 1928 one-dollar silver certificate, part of the National Numismatic Collection at the National Museum of American History, bears a portrait of George Washington and the signatures of Harold Theodore Tate (Treasurer of the United States) and Andrew Mellon (Secretary of the Treasury) on the obverse.

My talk page Dude, that's Allie, not Ali! - Alison☺ 16:59, 2 April 2007 (UTC) I thought it was quite amusing, hope you're not growing dim! The amusing dude. Jumbos nemesis 17:09, 2 April 2007 (UTC) I hope so, too! - Alison☺ 17:46, 2 April 2007 (UTC) I was the wrong side of sterling today and lost 300_G's. Nothing to do but write poetry. Now, not many people have poetry written about them. It was meant well, so sorry if it didn't go down too well. It was, I assure you written in an amicable frame of mind. Any, be well. Jumbos nemesis 17:35, 2 April 2007 (UTC) I never said it didn't go down well. It was kinda amusing all right :) I could use a little joy amidst the dirty job that adminship is, so I appreciate your poetry! So there. - Alison☺ 17:45, 2 April 2007 (UTC) (has a sense of humour, y'know) here - have a flower :) - Alison☺ 19:33, 2 April 2007 (UTC) Oh thanks Allie, that's very kind of you. I wrote that in 3 or 4 minutes flat, and hardly reviewed it. So here it is with typos and punct.... Now that Ali's in Admin! Is she growing kind of dim? Don't see her 'round the usual corners, Perhaps she's under Jimbo's orders, And even FLIP did disappear, Has gone out east as a volunteer! I heard that the queen has joined the Wiki, Please don't block her as she gets quite sticky, So on with the typos, and keep your nose clean, Admin's no fun, see what I mean? I'll have to get away from this computer, and get some sunshine. You're doing admirable at admin. Rock on! --Jumbos nemesis 02:59, 3 April 2007 (UTC)BTW, dim as in not seeing so much around the usual pages, not the other d. JN There was a old dear on wiki, Who regarded my edits as sicky, So I sat down beside her, Alongside some cider, Now all of my edits are icky. Bravo! - Alison☺ 17:05, 4 April 2007 (UTC) LOL -Jumbos nemesis 17:31, 4 April 2007 (UTC) I doubt she's much of a poet, really. Probably in real life, she's very different than you imagine; a little boring, a little geeky, a little shy and probably from de rong soide of de river. But she has survived the unimaginable. Trust me sir, she's really not your type at all. Maybe - just maybe - she was touched by your love and humour & maybe - just maybe - she's been hurt a lot along the way through life. If only you knew. Whatever on that, I guess you must have made her laugh too (and maybe cry, too, ever so slightly). Who knows? But I think she'd probably want you to know that. - Dumbos nematodes 06:53, 11 April 2007 (UTC) She'd probably want you to have a flower too, no doubt. She's funny that way - Dumbos nematodes 06:53, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
