20 PESOS

This is an F70 note with
serial number 591810
***the same banknote shown in the
picture***
As Miami Cubans were getting
ready for the "Bay of Pigs" invasion in April 1961. The US government for CIA
backed operations in the invasion printed counterfeit 20 pesos banknotes. Each
member of the invasion was reported to have been issued one hundred each of
those counterfeits. These banknotes were given to the 1200 Cubans who
participated in the invasion and also to other Cubans who after the invasion
continued to run arms to Cuba.
These counterfeit notes had series F69 and F70.
This information can be
verified at the ATS notes and catalog site (http://www.atsnotes.com/catalog/cuba/cuba.html)
under Pick 97x.
This is a very RARE note
which can be a great unique addition to any collector.
