The state borrows money by issuing bonds. This particular issue was payable in pounds sterling in London, probably for the convenience of foreign investors. Other Alabama bond issues were payable in dollar amounts in New York City. Bonds include fourteen 6 percent bearer bonds, face value of 225 pounds, numbers 664-668, 677-684, and 686. Bonds measure about 16 by 22 inches, including all coupons, none of which were clipped. Numbers 664 and 665 are torn. The rest are all in fair condition.
