NCR, BankNote of the Day.....

Sitting down with my morning coffee trying to decide a note for today I selected Colombia where my coffee originated!

The Republic of Colombia is located in the northwestern corner of South America. Colombia once owned the territory which is now the country of Panama, but lost it in a rebellion. ENJOY!!

Languages: Spanish, over 100 Indian dialects
Religions: Roman Catholic
Status: UN Country
Pesos Oro: Spanish for "Gold Peso"



The note is a 1963 issue of 1 Pesos Oro printed by the American Banknote Company.
