I wouldn't want to guess on the basis of a picture that arrived on my cell phone (upside down at that) How did you come by this note ?

Sorry I have problems loading pictures it keeps flipping them around. It was put away in an envelope with a few others by an old woman who has passed on now but obviously she thought something of it

I would have them looked at by a professional its hard to ID when they are not in hand, Im sure you will get some very educated guesses from this site though as well

Just to me more clear. If folks looked at the link I posted they would see this:

Then all you have to do is look at the serial number on the bill in question you would see they are exactly the same.

On another note (pun intended), if you look at the printing on Confederate States Bills using a Gem Loupe and the letters, numbers, images, etc. are made up of little dots, then it was done with a Dot Matrix Printer and is a fake.

The Florida note is also fake. The easiest way to first assess one of these notes is to google the serial number, the more common fake numbers come up.

I don't know about yours, but my wife's Uncle had one that was purchased as a novelty item. A.K.A. fake !
