This article treats the colorful history of a revolutionary-era, paper money note in Mexico. It reconstructs the sequence of events involved in its emission. It also reports the use of the notes in a colossal episode of counterrevolutionary extortion and my discovery of 167,419 of these notes in mint condition in the archives of Navistar International (formerly the International Harvester Company) and the Wisconsin Historical Society. The article was listed as submitted in my last FAAR; it was released into publication last summer.
