Weird Tract Number 107: "The Wages of Sin" Funny Money (distributed by Pilgrim Tract Society)

Troy Davis writes:

religious tract money dollar
The Museum of Weird and Demented Religious Tracts has an extensive collection of tracts that resemble paper money. These tracts have long been the bane of servers who have received them by well-meaning fundies who believe that saving a wait-person's soul is more valuable than temporal things like moola. In previous decades, there were cases in which the Secret Service cracked down on the printing of this religious funny money, even though earlier religious money specimens were obviously not real currency. In the past decade, some publishers have created religious counterfeit money that resembles real currency. This example is probably from the '50s. The other side of the currency along with a pic of some of the museum's other funny money are below.

The Museum of Weird and Demented Religious Tracts is a project of Les Zazous Postmodern Art Galley of Bellaire, Ohio. Read the Welcome Statement of The Museum here.
