| Anmerkungen |
The Bank of Clifton was one of dozens of short-lived New Jersey free banking institutions that sprang up under the state's 1850 free banking law, which allowed virtually anyone to back note issues with approved securities deposited with the state comptroller. The system was notoriously loose, and a number of these banks — some skeptics called them "wildcat" operations — were thinly capitalized from the start.
The New York Bank Note Co. handled the printing, a firm that supplied a large share of the antebellum small-bank note market before consolidating with competitors in the 1860s. Clifton's issues circulated only briefly; the bank did not survive the disruption of the Civil War years.
