The idea of combining a world’s fair with a nation’s centennial was unprecedented. Yet America’s “can do” attitude helped launch the U.S. International Exhibition held in Philadelphia in 1876. To attend, you needed one of these Admission Tickets. Featuring a beautiful vignette, each 130-year-old, Crisp Uncirculated note is individually numbered.
