RARE Portland Bridgetown Bucks 1 Buck Note - Steel Bridge

Up for sale is a beautiful, crisp 1 Buck Bridgetown Bucks note from the PDX Currency Corporation in Portland, Oregon. This is not just a piece of paper; it’s a piece of Pacific Northwest economic history. Launched around 2012, Bridgetown Bucks were a local community currency designed to keep money circulating within Portland’s independent businesses. Now that the program is retired and the notes are no longer in active circulation, they have become highly sought-after by collectors of "Obsolete" and "Complementary" currencies. The reverse features a classic architectural sketch of Portland’s iconic Steel Bridge. This isn't "play money." It features a high-visibility Gold Foil PDX/Oregon state stamp on the front, professional serial numbering (Series 1), and a specialized polymer-blend feel. This note is in excellent condition—crisp, clean, and uncirculated. No folds, creases, or pinholes. A perfect example of the "Buy Local" movement of the early 2010s. As these notes disappear into private collections, finding high-grade individual singles like this is becoming increasingly difficult. A fantastic addition for any collector of US Paper Money, Oregon memorabilia, or unique financial history.
