Apparently all national banks issued bank notes with the bank's name
on them. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing, a division of the
U.S. Department of the Treasury, printed these notes. Shown below
is a $20 bill that was issued June 3, 1906 with the name of the First National
Bank of Coleman - Coleman, Texas - Charter 3433. Hugh McCulloch (1808
- 1895), appointed Secretary of the Treasury by Abraham Lincoln in 1865,
held office through Andrew Johnson's term, is pictured on the front of
the bill.
