Support - Pretty. It's surprising to me that it was printed in New York when Cuba was still a Spanish colony, 2 years before the Spanish-American War. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:06, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Good remark Ikan Kekek. That New York printer was a very powerful company that had the monopoly for all US banknotes and had been printing those of Spanish Cuba for several decades already (see example from 1872). After the US invasion of 1898, Cuban currency production ceased but the American Bank Note Company still printed a series of banknotes for the "National Bank of Cuba", a private, US-owned institution, in 1905 (example). These banknotes were never circulated and the US dollar remained the only legal currency in the island until 1934. Thanks everyone for your support! --Hispalois (talk) 18:03, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
