Not sure if this is the right place for this, but its the best I could find... I'm thinking about ordering two of those sheets of (24) uncut two dollar bills and framing one with the Obverse facing out and the other with the reverse facing out. Then hanging them on the wall.... kinda cool or kinda stupid??? __________________ --->>>This Sig Line Is Under Construction<<<--- http://boards.collectors-society.com.../32916/sig.jpg   06-06-2007, 04:37 AM   #2 (permalink) De Orc P &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp; R COMMISSAR     Join Date: Oct 2005 Location: London.

Look pretty cool in my book. He only done one sheet , did not do the front and back.   06-06-2007, 07:38 AM   #4 (permalink) taz devilish for coins     Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Chicago Posts: 121 My Mood: I too ... like the idea... but wall space would be an issue for me too... Personally, I have been looking for 'US currency art' in general (e.g. enlargements of areas of bills) as well... haven't found much...   06-06-2007, 12:16 PM   #5 (permalink) TommyNumis Member   Join Date: Mar 2007 Posts: 39 Quote: Originally Posted by smullen Not sure if this is the right place for this, but its the best I could find...

Then hanging them on the wall.... kinda cool or kinda stupid??? You can buy the uncut sheets of 32 (I don't think they come in 24) and display frames for hanging directly from the BEP. The acrylic frames are $60 and allow you to see the front and back by just flipping the frame.   06-06-2007, 01:21 PM   #6 (permalink) RickieB Expert Plunger Sniper     Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: United States Posts: 7,394 My Mood: Better look into a way to mount the frame so that it has to be dismounted from the wall...to easy to steal.. I think it would be cool to have a money room safe!! all denoms hanging on the wall with environmental control..and a steel safe door entry way door!! Sit back with a fat(cuban) stogie and cold brewsky and marvel at all the wall paper!!!

I wonder if it would detract from the beauty of the notes.   06-07-2007, 03:45 PM   #11 (permalink) andrew289 Senior Analyst   Join Date: Sep 2006 Posts: 1,261 It's a great idea. I have a sheet of 32 $1.00 framed in my office. I have 2 sheets of 16 $50s framed at home one obverse one reverse. The new 10, 20, 50 are cool because they have some color to them but the old green backs are nice.   06-08-2007, 02:10 PM   #12 (permalink) bqcoins You get what you pay for.     Join Date: Feb 2006 Location: Nebraska/Iowa Posts: 5,249 My Mood: I like the idea of money as art, I have a few bills framed around the house __________________ BQ Sometime Numismatic Consultant See my Bust Halves here: http://s240.photobucket.com/albums/f...albumview=grid See my Holey coins here:http://s240.photobucket.com/albums/f...albumview=grid   06-12-2007, 01:36 PM   #13 (permalink) Conder101 Numismatist   Join Date: Sep 2002 Posts: 5,098 Quote: I thought it was a criminal offence for a US citizen to smoke a Cuban Cigar anywhere in the Universe No, just illegal to import them into the US. If your in a country where they are legal you can smoke them. (Other than cigars and a few other items which just can't be imported, items from Cuba can't be imported directly from Cuba, but they can be imported from other contries such a Canada where they can be imported legally.) __________________ Slab collector and researcher reported as of 12/29/06 132 companies 332 production varieties   06-14-2007, 09:15 PM   #14 (permalink) Pirata72 Senior Member     Join Date: Dec 2006 Location: Chester, VA Posts: 333 I think it would be a cool idea. My favorite place to eat has a huge picture frame with bills from around the world hanging in the waiting area. Makes the wait for a table go by pretty quick just looking at all of the neat bills.
