Old 1916 Foreign Note

[Limitool]

Ok... here's another old 1916 note that was in the batch I got from the MI. basement. This small note measures 4" x 2 5/8" (small). I think it's French but not sure. I googled it but got a lot of foreign language links and couldn't make sense of them. I'm just curious what it is and if it's worth a nickle or not....? Thanks, Brad

(I screwed up the camera date somehow)

Thank you Don.... But can you read French? I can't. I assume this note isn't a rarity but was just wondering what the worth is if any?

EDIT: So if I read the conversation table right... it's around $6.00 U.S. dollars?

Thanks Ken.... You did better than me buddy. I know none of these notes are probably not gonna be collectables but was just checking. I know NOTHING about them.

You may not be able to retire on them, but they're still pretty cool. I have some that I put in a frame just for decoration..

Looks great Ken.... I'm a woodworker and maybe I'll get all the info on each one, build a custom frame and mount them. I'll attach the info on the back of the frame about each note.

Mount it Brad! That would look great hanging on the wall.

Mount it and then you could sell it for a whole lot of money. That would definitely make it worth "hanging" onto.

You know it looks like none of these old notes are collectable or real rare.... But I bet your right. If I mounted all these 1914 - 1916 WW1 notes from around the world into a single good looking frame the lot would be worth more together w/info then individually.

I have just a couple more to post. When I'm done posting and have the time I'll take my time and mount them all and re-post the finished product.
