Republic of Texas Paper Notes & Stocks

Here are some more Texas Commemoratives.  These are paper notes, the Republic of Texas never actually had coinage, it was known as the 'Paper Republic'.

And lest you think there were no big spenders back then....

They printed 50 and 100 dollar notes too!

There were also certificates of stock in the10% consolidated fund, which had coupons on the bottom.

Definitely an interesting way to fund a country.
