Personally I use the Lighthouse Vario pages and binders. 1, 2, and 3 notes per page, depending on size. I also use their black interleaving, so...
I would get a chuckle if these folks sold their silver and had to pay taxes at long-term capital gains rates when their ordinary income rate might...

I'm going to guess that what country you live in would be really relevant information... And in any case, I would talk to an accountant or tax guy...
The Algerian notes are really a nice set, in great condition compared to what you usually see. The ones in your second post here, much more than...
Really like that last one, the woman on the left has a mischievous look :)

Okay, that's got me a bit confused. What's the logic for both 7's to be underinked? Are they somehow connected in the printing process? It can't...
