My father handed this down to me. Before Dr. Seuss was known as Dr. Seuss, he was creating posters supporting the U.S.A. during WW2. This is one of his originals. I know it’s a coin forum so I used Morgan’s and Peace dollars to hold it down flat. Lol. Plus there are dollar signs in the poster so it’s money related that’s why I chose to share it with all of you. Cool piece of history. A war propaganda poster is one thing but the Dr. Seuss aspect of it gave it that nice touch.

These are great collectibles showing patriotic themes that are unknown to most Americans.
This one depicts currency, although it's paper money.
I think it's neat! There's a niche for stuff like that, and given the "Seuss" thing, my guess is that it's highly collectable.

Fantastic poster. Glad your father preserved it to hand down so we can enjoy it now.
Nice!
That’s so cool. Preserve it!
I have to agree with Pete, get it conserved and framed.
