:yes:

 

This is my newest.

 

Sorry..... but my scanner bit the dust....

 

hey how does one scan the currency in and like readjust it cuz i always got some huge image whenever i scan stuff in. is it better to take pics with a camera

 

That's a new CGA holder (I believe the star to the right of "64" indicates graded by the new CGA). Why does the label indicate "3mm. No Seal"?

 

Currency is far better with a scanner, but with either a scanner or a camera, you'll need some software to resize the image down to a reasonable (say 800 pixels wide) size for the web. Practically any image viewing software will do this - you probably have something on your computer already that will do this.
