Note: Here is a nifty Elston Bank 1875 (money order = type of early check)? - Thanks to CDPL - another Elston & Son - 1875 (deposit slip) - although I'm not a bank history buff, I would say this is about this time or shortly after - again thanks to the C'ville library's awesome image database.
Also an image of the 100th Anniversary Commemorative Coin.
