| 备注 |
The Fenian Brotherhood issued these bonds in 1866 to fund a planned invasion of Canada — an audacious scheme premised on the belief that seizing Canadian territory would force Britain to negotiate Irish independence. The Continental Bank Note Company, a respectable commercial printer that handled genuine currency for several American states, produced them in New York without apparent legal difficulty, since U.S. neutrality laws were only selectively enforced against Fenian activities at the time.
These were not currency. They were promissory instruments redeemable "six months after the acknowledgement of the independence of the Irish Republic" — a condition that was never met. The raids into Canada in June 1866 collapsed within days.
