You have some good finds there. The consecutive $10 1985 notes reminds me of when I went on a 33 day tour of Central America in 2014. A week or so...
The Canadian government attempting to dictate what form of currency a customer uses to buy goods and services from another party shows how it...
I think the stamp and year helps to give the note some good context, especially if it refers to an air base in Greenland. Speaking of old $5 notes...
I'd consider searching for official government reports to find more recent data. I'm not sure about Canada but the U.S. releases coin mintage...
If you're interested in older notes you can ask bank tellers what they have available in the course of your regular transactions with them. When I...
It is hard to say for sure. You could weigh them. If they are all uncirculated new cents they will weigh in at about 125 grams. If they are...
On the contrary I think it's a nice change of scene to be able to actually read the treasury secretary's name. Lew's signature is total chicken...
I'd include the letter as doing so will help to provide context. I'd personally be open to paying a bit more with the letter than without.

The coins you have were rolled by a third party company (such as Brinks, Garda, etc.) that received them directly from the mint. The practice of...
As others have said, the coin isn't really worth having graded. This is the kind of coin that I feel would be best enjoyed in a good old fashioned...
It's time for a Thanksgiving giveaway! In 1999, I bought an "Ancient Coin Catalogs 1000 Legends" CD by John Jencek on eBay. This CD contains...
I've found that so-called bank "policy" can vary widely from one branch location to another. You may think a corporate decree has been put out but...
Margins can affect value but generally not by a lot. Personally, I would prefer a note with poorer margins in nicer condition than one in poorer...
Yes, it is and it looks to be in pretty good condition for being a circulation find from 1996. While these coins have technically been...
I'd say with the fees involved it may not be. The UK demonetizes older currency once new designs are issued (and in this case the £1 note was...
I am far from an expert but if the filing wasn't recent and was done during contemporary (ancient) times, wouldn't the filed edge match the other...
Having been to South America, I can attest to there not being a country called "Columbia". There is, however, one called "Colombia". I would try...
I tried lemon juice more than once back when I did this 15 years ago with ancient uncleaned coins and I had nothing but poor results from doing...
I forget the name as well but I bought this kind of thing off of ebay around 10 years ago. Even though it was made out of plastic, it appeared to...
