Why do you collect paper money?

Viper....

Looks like you have a Great start to the collection. One question though, why are you hiding some of them stacked on top of each other? What is the large blue note in the back of the group of images in the top left side?
Can I see that one segregated? Nice start, keep up the good work Sir!!
That blue seal Chicago is a nice note too...I love the Series 1914 Federals!!

I need to get more sleaves so you can see all the notes. I just wanted to keep the half way safe till I get around to it.

The blue bill says El estado de chihuahua
Un Peso and it looks like 1915.
It has a stamp on the reverse that has me a little stumped. it says something about Poncho Villa money to spend in Juarez Mexico. It,s hard to read the rest.

 

cool note i was going to look it up to see if i could find anything int he books about the note and stamp, but i dont have that book with me... i have the other 2, but not that 1...go figure lol

 

Wow, those are really beautiful ! ! !

Btw I am becoming more and more interested in paper money for a couple reasons:
1. Roll searching really needs good light and good eyes. (still enjoy it though)
2. You can zip through cpl hundred bills searching for stars and repeaters without your staff wondering what your doing with the coin rolls =D
3. Not as dirty.
4. Very light weight.
5. Beautiful art work. (Not knocking coins here, still love my coins)

Only thing that scares me is if the house burns down, I may have a coin or two left over but probably no paper currency. ( If I can quote the words of desertgem.. "I take meds for that") lol

 

You guys are making me drool..... I have no notes yet but am really looking forward to getting some somewhere..

 

Figure out what you might be interested in then start asking. A few people here can give you some good advice.

Hmmm.. like me and World coins. Whatever floats your boat dude!

Ask the questions and you'll get the answers. There are as many variables to collecting paper as there are coins. Believe me on this one.
