This 1000 dollar bill is the infamous serial number 8894 reproduction printed on fake parchment. Almost 7 inches in length. No tears or rips. Corners intact.
The product is a reproduction of a $1000 banknote issued by The Bank of United States in Philadelphia in 1840. This circulated banknote is a replica of the original historical piece and is classified as a reproduction. It falls under the category of replicas & reproductions, specifically in the area of paper money within the US.
From the late 19th Century to the 1950’s, reproductions of Bank of the United States currency were distributed, often with an advertising message printed on the back. Since the notes are not official U.S. issues, it isn’t considered counterfeiting to reproduce them. Genuine examples of these notes are valuable.
The 1000 dollar bill with the infamous “8894” serial number comes from a firm that copied the original with the above serial number to use for advertising purposes.These notes were reproduced before Congress passed the “Hobby Protection Act” requiring the words “copy” or “Replica” on reproductions of coins or paper money. The “8894” copies today are commonly found in packages of play money along with other reproductions of private issue currency.
