Demand Notes
, produced from August 1861 to April 1862, were the first United States federally-issued paper currency. Bearing the issue date of 10 August 1861, these are the only U.S. Banknotes (1861 to the present) to enter circulation without a treasury seal. All demand notes were hand-signed by treasury officials (Assistant Treasurers or clerks) on behalf of the Register and Treasurer of the United States. Demand notes were issued in $5, $10, and $20 denominations only.

Shame about the harsh black borders. I understand that a non-white background may be needed to pick out the edges, but I think a softer colour might look nicer.

- I understand the point you bring up, but a black background is fairly standard for archival imaging of banknotes. Thanks --

. Personally, I like the black borders, especially when both the front and back of the bill are shown in the same file. It helps to delineate between the 2 sides of the bill.

- To clarify, I was not objecting to the borders per se, in fact I mentioned that they were necessary to identify the edges of the banknotes. My objection is to the colour black, which to my eye is unappealing, making the whole image look a bit like an obituary notice.
