Hi all, My wife started laughing when I bought this Play Money set of US coins and paper currency today at the Dollar Tree store. I checked for Fancy Serial numbers and varietes.. Nothing Just having fun this evening
It just goes to show that even the people who come up with ideas like this still don't know that there is such a thing as a $2 note. Chris
A hundred years from now, Mike Mezak's grand grand grand son will be selling these on HSN for $99.95...red oak included.
I collect play money. It's a lot of fun. It's not a very advanced collection but I have a high grade 1949 falsa pecunia quarter and have to believe it's scarce in any grade. Few boomers were old enough for play money in 1949.
I dug a 1953 "Uncle Sam Play Money" dime, once, while metal detecting. These were smaller than a real dime and made of aluminum, so it came out of the ground still with a whitish color, and gave me an adrenaline surge because I was sure I had just found my first silver three-cent piece. (We were hunting between the outdoor kitchen and main building of an old inn and stagecoach stop which had been built circa 1800.) It looked like this. I still haven't found a three-cent piece.
That's great looking play money, and for cheap ! When I was a kid, I was always buying sets of play money. Wish I would have saved it. My mom probably threw it out with my baseball cards (not really)......
