July 28, 2009: The Mystery of the Strange Superman Money

Last week I received an email from a lady who had found an odd item which she was hoping I could identify.

    I found something in a person's home while cleaning out her estate. It was found in an old book. It looks like money and has Superman on the front, a serial #9n99999 on the bottom & 9A99999 on the top and is written in a language I do not know. It looks like real money. Also, has the #500 like as if it were real money. On the back is an image of a man. Do you know anything about this item?

After opening this up to the Superman fan community, we discovered that it is play money for children that came out in the 1980s. The writing supposedly reads: "Superman's bank note". The number "500" is the value of the note in Baht (Thailand's money value). The man on the reverse side is the Monument of King Rama I at the Memorial Bridge and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha.
