    I have one not sure what it's called cuz it's at work. It doesn't have values really for any of the more current years and then mostly has values just for unc condition. What books do you use?

    I have several, i use the Friedberg book the most ... is has some very thurough information. The one book alot of members here use is the Schwartz / Lindquist book. I like that book because it has alot of info on the different varieities in US currency. The friedberg book doesnt go into that. i also use the Little Black Book - it has alot of nice info on pricing. Of Course the Pick catalogs are a great source too, but not as good as the other listed above for US. The Pick catalogs put out by Krause Publications are the best general source for world notes. Most countries has country specific books like the Friedberg or Schwartz/Lindquist, but the pick catalog is the 1 best source for info on worls currency... just not very good for the US :D

    almost forgot... any book will only have up to date pricing info up to the point it went to press.... any new book shwoing prices can EASILY be close to a year behind. The absolute BEST place for daily accurate pricing, is auction venues. Books are a good guide only.

    I like the Standard Catalog of United States Paper Money, edited by George S. Cuhaj, William Brandimore, Market Analyst, Krause Publications. It has great pictures of the notes and has market pricing (although I think all of these books are obsolete from a pricing perspective the second they are published). I prefer, for pricing, to see the Heritage information on prices from previous auctions. It is very up to date and represents what people actually paid.
