Chrisild: Thanks for the Swiss connection. Those are my kinds of notes. Visually appealing and an appropriate national reference without necessarily being nationalistic. Reminds me of late 20th century French notes, which are my favorites.
Hmmm.... Good question. I like so many different types. Colonial's have so much history but are lacking in quality and grade and variety Fractionals have many different types and styles plus you can get good grades still of these. Obsoletes are all different and have some real nice looks MPC's have tons of colors and have those cool theme's together Large Type gets a good amount of different notes but prices...sheez Small size lack color to me but have tons of series Nationals are all kind of alike too but you get to travel all over the country with them So I'll go with... Large Type, other then cost they have so many different patterns, colors and pictures. If only I was rich now@@
