Cuban 1000 Peso banknote - known as the "Casino Note" or "Gangster Note"

During the 1930’s and through the late 1950’s, a favorite hangout of American gangsters was the Cuban city of Havana. It was a place more elegant than today’s Las Vegas or Atlantic City, a place where anything goes (or went). What happened in Havana stayed in Havana — the city of intrigue? Havana’s high rollers loved to show off their winnings by fl ashing a handful of the 1,000 peso notes, just to demonstrate to onlookers how wealthy they were. The note was nicknamed by the public as the "Gangster bill". It was redeemable for $1,000 US dollars. The notes quickly disappeared as did the gangsters when Fidel Castro took over the country on February 16,1959.
