Cities and States on National Bank notes

 

Mules and errors.

 

Thanks for starting this. Currency does have more collectible topics than coins.

 

Agree to disagree

 

Emergency notes, locals, notes from a particular printer or monetary authority, one from each country, omnibus issues, birthday year, notes designed by a particular artist

 

Since I'm keeping grandchildren this weekend thought I'd ask the 6-year old his ideas and he thinks this says it best:

 

Red, the color red, among others.
And famous people like Patrice Lumumba, Jomo Kenyatta, and Kwame Nkrumah.
Heavily loved "teddy bears" (torn and multiply-taped).

 

Faraway places with strange sounding names, calling, calling...
And, as microbiologist... dirty notes might contain hardy viruses, eu-and prokaryotes, archeobacteria, fungi, insect eggs, depleted uranium from the Gulf War and cocaine from California $100s... the possibilities!

 

i collect seven-in-a-row SNs.

 

I just go by country and if it is a military or civilian note

 

Nice note @Clarenze Cruz .

I don’t necessarily collect seven-in-a-row, but felt extra Lucky after receiving this directly from the BEP as a Lucky Money note.
