Comment The lower right corner of the left scan and the lower left corner of the right scan are bent. Maybe it would be better to straighthen them. Brandmeister^talk 09:33, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Brandmeister-The margins on these early notes were never perfect (although this comes fairly close). I'm not sure how to straighten them without cropping the note itself...-Godot13 (talk) 15:45, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps to delicately bend the margins manually to the opposite direction, but I suppose that would be rude given the note's age and historical value :) Brandmeister^talk 19:24, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support - This is fine, for a 250 year old banknote. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:59, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support — Interesting because it mentions George III, who's also referenced repeatedly, though only as "the present King of Great Britain," in the Declaration of Independence, issued 12 years later and also signed by Benjamin Franklin. Sca (talk) 15:21, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
