Cleanup[edit]

I've edited the article to remove some sweeping statements that a previous author made that lacked any citation and were subjective. While it is true that, by and large, the national bank system was not as stable as the Federal Reserve system, it is difficult to stand by comments such as "people did not trust the banks" without at least providing a citation. Also, there was a statement stating that the notes were only backed by the goodwill of the bank which I deleted, as they were backed by government bonds which the bank purchased.

Just to clarify[edit]

This article may need to be moved to National Bank Note (United States) or National Bank Note (USA) as Japanese national banknotes modeled after these notes were made. [1] - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 00:55, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

National Bank Notes were United States banknotes issued by national banks chartered by the U.S. federal government. The banknotes were usually backed by bonds deposited by the bank with the United States Treasury. In addition, banks were required to maintain a redemption fund amounting to five percent of any outstanding note balance, in gold or "lawful money". The banknotes were not legal tender in general, but were satisfactory for nearly all payments to and by the federal government. They were retired as a currency type by the federal government in the 1930s, when United States currency was consolidated into Federal Reserve Notes, United States Notes, and silver certificates. These nine banknotes, in denominations from $1 to $1000, were issued by various banks across the country as part of either the original or the 1875 series of National Bank Notes.
