Item Details
Description
Macerated Currency
Macerated United States Currency Bank Notes "Fedora" Hat
Macerated United States Currency Bank Notes, "Fedora" Style Hat Design, Choice Extremely Fine.
This original example of Macerated Currency measures 2.75" x 2.75" at the brim and 1" tall. The original Treasury tag is lacking. Formed into a "Fedora" style Hat, it makes for a wonderful display item. Scarce.
Between the mid 1870s to 1928, worn and mutilated United States Currency Banknotes were returned to the Treasury Department where they were reduced to paper pulp and made into Souvenirs for sale to the public. By the 1890s, the pulp was sold to various contractors such as the National Currency Souvenir Co., where it was used to create souvenir busts of prominent Americans, historical images and replicas of various national monuments.
