CUBA, 20 pesos, 1961, serial F69 134856, C.I.A. counterfeit - Bay of Pigs Invasion Force, PMG Gem UNC 65 EPQ. Pick-97x. This counterfeit note was produced in 1961 by the CIA to be given to Cuban exiles participating in the ill-fated Bay of Pigs invasion. The intention was that the troops (operating as Brigade 2506) could purchase supplies from locals or offer bribes with the fake notes once they successfully infiltrated the island. However, the invasion, once launched, failed in a matter of days with most of the soldiers captured or killed by Castro's forces. Gem note with great centering and ink colors, variety with visible serial number.
