Pop Art ‘Dollar Bills’ Paperweight & Cigarette Case

Reference: 7043, 6506

(On left) an amusing Lucite paperweight featuring five stacks of uncirculated $1 Dollar bills, each stack with a bill band around it, containing $100 per band. The signatures of the Treasurer of the United States, namely Romana Acosta Bañuelos and Secretary of the Treasury, George Pratt Schultz, serving under Richard M. Nixon, dates the currency to 1971-74. It is debated amongst coin collectors and currency dealers whether the notes are real, or just the notes seen top and bottom of the stacks. It shall remain a mystery! American, circa early 1970s.

Height: 2½ inches (6½ cm), length: 7 inches (18 cm)
