| Opmerkingen |
The Bible Christian Church was a Wesleyan Methodist splinter movement founded in Devon in 1815, and had no business issuing banknotes. Yet Jersey's particular legal position — outside the Bank of England's jurisdiction and with its own loosely regulated financial environment in the nineteenth century — created space for exactly this kind of quasi-banking activity by non-financial institutions. The church apparently operated a deposit and lending function for its congregation, and these notes were its paper instruments.
The series ran only two years before collapsing. Whether that reflects regulatory pressure, insolvency, or simple abandonment of the scheme is not clearly documented.
