In theory it's an unlimited number...I collect US and world currency...whatever I can afford!

 

Actually i posted a poll, And for some reason it didnt make it on the thread!!
Generally iam seeking how many types?
This could be anything U.S.A, World, Fractional. Mpc, Etc

A general number will suffice lets say 1-10

 

I like this topic as it covers a wide range of collecting activity.

For me MPCUSA:

A. Large Size Notes

1. Legal Tenders
2. Silver Certificates
3. Treasury Notes
4. Gold Notes
5. National Bank Notes
6. Federal Reserve Notes
7. Federal Reserve Bank Notes

B. Obsoletes

1. State of Maryland
2. State of Florida
3. State of South Carolina

C. Fractional Currency

1. 3rd Issue
2. 4th Issue
3. 5th Issue

D. Small Size

1. Federal Reserve Notes (New York District 1928 to Current including Stars)
2. Federal Reserve Notes Series 1928A $5 all Districts
3. Federal Reserve Notes Series 1934C All Denoms all Districts
4. National Bank Notes from NYC all types
5. Small Size $1, $5 and $10 Silver Certs and Stars of the Series
6. Fancy Serial Numbers any district an denom
7. Off Set error Notes any district any denom

Seems like that enough huh?? AT present well over 400 notes and counting..only 6 are less than AU in the entire collection.

I'll pull out the Krause and start counting how many different notes are in it if you want an actual number MPC

 

I too collect U.S. and World Currency.
U.S. Currency:
Fractional
Nationals
Obsoletes
Specialize more or less in Star Notes and Silver Certificates

Little more difficult now that I'm retired but spend a lot of time on CT looking at what others have.

 

Very impressive Rickie!!:kewl:

 

For now I just have some small u.s. notes like red seals, hawaii stamped, few confederates and alot of Sadam & Afgani notes. Im focusing on completing my u.s. coin sets before I jump into higher level currency.

 

Wow I had no idea!! As for me i sold most of my other stuff in the past couple
Of years to concentrate on Mpc,s, What can i say its my passion!! By concentrating
All my efforts on one thing iam able to accelerate my collecting, Though there
Are several Series it still takes alot of time luck and money to be successful

 

I collect/any US currency I can afford/MPC's/ foreign & US obsoletes/coins US & foreign/ABNCo anything)/vignettes/souvenir cards/post cards.

 

There,s over 200 for me in thirteen different Series!!! i have already
Atleast half in certified but there all in different series though i few
Series that are with in one or two notes of completion though!!

And have about 300 raw notes!

 

You got it bad ! But a least you stay in MPC's !

 

I just posted another thread on budget which i think it applies here
I know for a fact if i didnt stay on one thing there is noway i could
Have some of the nice stuff i have today, But it is nice to have a
Variety, I do have some other stuff thats raw but iam not that active
In it, Trying to complete some sets here in Mpc:high5:

 

I collect whatever catches my eye at any given moment (which is a dangerous and expensive method of collecting). However, my collection is concentrated on the following:

World War I related notes

If by collect you mean pull from circulation, I collect star notes and interesting serial numbers. I used to save all the decent stars I could find. Now I just save back the nicer ones and low #s. I do occasionally pick up a few notes at auction but it's been a while. Mostly silver certificates or bills old enought not to have the current green seal.

 

Well it's alot but not the quality you or Rickey B go for.
Many examples of them.
But I have to say that the older I get the more I am looking for better quality then quantity for the most part.
I do have your problem though and I just dont manage it as well...
Money for it
If I'd specalize like you it'd make it much easier on me.

 

All small USA, MPC, Fractional. -O)
