Editing Kirtland Safety Society (section)

==Kirtland Safety Society notes==
One of the tangible connections from this episode to the present are the notes that were printed at the time. Some church leaders encouraged people to retain these notes as they said that someday they would have value again. While the notes never regained their face value, by the late 19th century they had become collector's items.<ref>Adams, footnote 33.</ref> A Kirtland Safety Society note bearing Joseph Smith's signature can be quite valuable. For example, in an auction in March 2006, a $100 note sold for $11,500 (about a 3% per year gain).<ref>[http://www.news-antique.com/?id=781344&keys=paper-money-confederate Smythe Spring Sale Prices Strong] from www.news-antique.com.</ref>
