We sure had some amazing money before the moralists stepped in. It's kinda a reminder of how recent the sobriety of our times really is, you know?
And yes...it's interesting to note that this is clearly money from a different currency system-- "This certifies that there have been deposited in the treasury of the United States five silver dollars payable to the bearer on demand."
Very different from our fiat currency-- "This note is legal tender for all debts public and private."
