Before the Civil War, local Michigan towns and “Wildcat Banks” printed their own beautiful paper money. Learn the chaotic history behind Obsolete Banknotes, why most of them became worthless paper, and why they are highly prized by local collectors today.
Michigan is a state rich in history and innovation, from the automotive industry to its stunning natural landscapes. For collectors, this heritage is also stamped in metal and printed on paper. At Keywell Collectibles, we have a special appreciation for items that tell a story, and there’s no story more personal to us than that of our home state.
