Is there an echo in here?

I see no one is interested in Paper Money. I wonder why?

I actually started a set of Physicist on Banknotes. Some were pretty easy: countries with weak currencies like Italy (Galileo, Marconi), and Poland (Eva Sklodowska Curie) and Yugoslavia (Nikola Tesla) have notes you can afford. With Denmark (Bohr) and other prosperous places, the notes are about on par with America's Benjamin Franklin at $50 minimum.
The American Institute of Physics started a list on their website but the link no longer works. However, other places have continued it, such as:

If you want to get a look at a bunch and not spend a lot of money, you can go to a coin show, of course. One thing I do for Halloween, is I get Coin World and write to several dealers selling "collector lots" of world banknotes for about $25 per 50 or 100. I spend less on that than my wife does on candy for the Trick-or-Treaters. I love opening the envelopes. Not everything goes out the door on October 31.

(And I am not going to beat this to death or reply to myself again.)
