Paper Money: New Acquisitions

1934 $500 arrived today. This one has what I believe is called a light green seal?? Because it isn’t in the greatest condition I might carry this one in my wallet for good luck

Nice wallet piece @HawaiiCurrencyCollector.

I keep this trio of beaters in my wallet to show civilians.

 

That’s definitely a nice trio in your wallet! I’m on the hunt for a beater $1000 note to carry around, too. But even those are a little pricey.

 

Quite possibly my last purchase of the year.
It’s been 20 years since the BEP printed $1 Minneapolis replacement notes.

 

Broke a $20 today. Received this star.

 

Somewhat same. Got this back in change today. First time getting a star “in the wild” since I’ve started collecting.

 

This is my 2nd wild caught star. The first was a $1 FRN.

My $10 pictured above is one of 128,000 printed. I'm liking that run #.

 

1960-something Cambodia 10 riel. Note is quite large, and I love big money.

Paid: $4
Value: $4

 

Bought a little something for Christmas and was hoping it would have arrived in time. Oh well, nothing wrong with opening a present the day after!

anyone else treat themselves to a Christmas gift?

 

The suspense is killing me !

 

My son got me an uncut sheet of $2s for Xmas this year. I've never had an uncut sheet before. Wondering the best way to preserve/display it? I'm guessing it's not that rare...just would be nice to display. Just looking for ideas / comments.

 

Is it a 4, 8, 16 or 32 subject sheet ?

 

8 notes

 

Here's an 8-sheet for $39

Considering the size (approx 13 x 11), I would get a larger-than normal picture frame and put it on the wall as a display piece/decoration

 

I recommend something inexpensive for a 8-subject, modern $2 sheet.
You could easily spend more on the display than the sheet is worth.

 

It’s only $36 for this sheet direct from the source.

A poster frame of that size should run you about 15-20 from Michaels or another arts store. So, about half of the value of the sheet.

but it does look pretty cool!

 

A Christmas present:

Finally home to check the mail. Just another 1914 $5 FRN. The price was too good to pass up so I decided to “upgrade” my current grades of this note.
