Former Bank Note


A piece of local history has been picked up off the auction block.

A 10-dollar bill issued by the former First National Bank of International Falls was sold for an undisclosed amount of money.

Brendan Meehan of Connecticut acquired the bill, dated 1902, from another collector before selling it off himself.

It's one of only ten known to be still in existence.

The Bank was formerly located near the existing Well-Fargo and operated until the 1930's.
