This note was the last series of national currency notes that were first issued in 1863. This type was conceived by Secretary of the Treasury Salmon P. Chase, who devised a system of nationally chartered banks. Individual banks purchased U.S. government bonds and deposited them with the comptroller of the currency. For up to 90% of the profit, the comptroller would authorize the production of notes bearing the individual bank’s name.
