For more than 70 years, Friedberg’s Paper Money of the United States has been the authoritative reference for American currency. Now published by Whitman for the first time, the thoroughly updated 24th edition combines history, identification, specifications, rarity, and market values to tell the story of America through the money Americans carried, saved, spent, and collected.
From the first year of Federal paper money in 1861 to the present, all classes and types of U.S. currency—from 3 cents to $10,000—are cataloged and illustrated, along with extensive coverage of Colonial and Continental Currency, Treasury Notes, Confederate currency, Fractional Currency, National Bank Notes, errors, postal issues, and more. At its foundation is the Friedberg Numbering System™, introduced by Robert Friedberg and now the international standard for identifying, cataloging, buying, and selling U.S. paper money.
The all-new 24th edition spans 348 pages, with approximately 1,000 full-color photographs and 10,000 market values. Dozens of new Friedberg numbers have been assigned, including previously unreported National Bank Notes, with Federal issues updated through the Bureau of Engraving and Printing’s Series 2021 production and significant auction records updated for rare notes.
