Very interesting story. I'm from Singapore - the 'little red dot' in South-east Asia. How did the name Singapore come about in Michigan? There's no mention of it in your story. Could you clued me in? Thanks! tag:www.singaporemichiganobsoletebanknotes.com,2011-02-07:4864497 Ken Cook 2011-02-07T14:04:06Z 2011-02-07T14:04:06Z Agree tag:www.singaporemichiganobsoletebanknotes.com,2011-02-06:4859283 Wrifton 2011-02-07T04:40:51Z 2011-02-07T04:40:51Z We have collected 6 of these notes over the years. There are a few on display (not for sale) in our antique store in Galesburg, Michigan. Arrangements have been made to donate them to a Michigan Museum after some time on display at the store. Feel free to stop in and see them. Items such as these need to be preserved for future generations. tag:www.singaporemichiganobsoletebanknotes.com,2010-12-04:4072065 Alex http://banknotegallery.blogspot.com 2010-12-05T02:31:45Z 2010-12-05T02:31:45Z Very interesting story about wildcat banknotes - Nice Singapore currency design tag:www.singaporemichiganobsoletebanknotes.com,2010-10-30:3877610 Michael E Marotta http://www.washtenawjustice.com 2010-10-31T01:45:07Z 2010-10-31T01:45:07Z Great telling of the story! I have the same yarn on my website, but I have to admit that you put all the details into this. <br /> <br /> Thanks for preserving the history: I had to find it at the State Library in Lansing, which is not convenient for everyone. tag:www.singaporemichiganobsoletebanknotes.com,2010-09-14:3606231 Ken Cook 2010-09-14T12:20:10Z 2010-09-14T12:20:10Z As far as cashing them in at an official bank, this will not happen, since none of these banks no longer exist.  So officially, these notes are not worth anything.<br /> <br /> However, they are worth something to a collector, for their historical value.  Of course the value would depend on condition and the fact that the note is real, and has not been altered in someway.      tag:www.singaporemichiganobsoletebanknotes.com,2010-09-13:3602699 jon macvean 2010-09-13T21:46:57Z 2010-09-13T21:46:57Z are the singapore bank notes worth anything if you found them in 2o10 and where would they be cashed in thanks jon macvean
