purchase items within the town. Ernie Gelwicks of Emmitsburg shared the
currency that he’s been collecting for several years. Shown below is a fifty
cent note, a six and a quarter cent note, and two variations of one dollar
notes. Each shows various images. Ernie is missing the twelve and a half cent
note that will complete his collection.
Ernie shared, “In 1837, President Andrew Jackson closed the banks. There
was no money. With the exception of Thurmont, every city in Maryland
made their own money.”
