I don't know this is much of a "leak", rather I would call it a fantasy note.
The thin paper is very typical for obsoletes. Obsolete notes in general were issued by private banks and bank-like organizations, not governments....
These are indeed usually called 'obsolete notes' as Collecting Nut notes, but these are all from Georgia, not New York. If you look closer you can...
Nice. I like the small $10 also, I also am working on a type set of these. The FRNs are interesting, with the early numbered seal, then next the...
I just found my first 2026 dime in circulation! Since my last post. Still no quarters.
Back in 1976, the quarter design had not changed at all in a very long time, so the new design really stood out. (It was a great design.) Now,...
I have found one gold one, no silver or platinum (that I noticed!), other than the occasional 90%.
I don't understand the monkey one, but I think the first and last ones have kind of cool looking serials. But I wouldn't expect any value beyond...
I find these slightly overinked digits fairly frequently. What I think is interesting, is that when one digit is overinked, it is pretty common...
I am not a serial number collector, but nationals have much smaller numbers in general, which makes 'special' numbers relatively more common, and...

I don't know about dimes, but I have seen nickel elongating machines.
I actually thought about all of those, but I had citric acid in mind mainly. It would probably have less impurities/extra ingredients than...
I had not thought of this, but this sounds fun and affordable. I like the chemistry experiment aspect of it. Would other acids besides vinegar...
I don't worry about light pressing like putting a few books on something for a few weeks, I do that with anything I save from circulation. You can...
These are not actually National Currency, despite that being printed on the notes! These were some kind of emergency currency, but I don't know...
Boards like this one are also a good source of ideas for things to collect. Often I will see a note that somebody has posted, and then I will add...
Do you mean palladium, not platinum, that was around the 3/4% mark? That is what the story said. But still would never be that high. I don't know...
That one is on my want list for the mountain scenery, I have not got to it yet though.
I think I read somewhere that Hillary insisted on the mountain being Cook and not Everest, since it is for New Zealand. Mount Cook is the highest...
