<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bobbeth87, post: 1436579, member: 18369&quot;]My father passed in March 2009 and I inherited his coin collection.&nbsp; This rekindled my boyhood hobby in a way I didn&#039;t expect.&nbsp; I absolutely LOVE this hobby now.&nbsp; I think one of the reasons for that is it connects me to my father.&nbsp; Among the things I inherited was his currency collection.&nbsp; He had a Black Eagle, and Educational note, silver certificates, etc. and a literal wad of world banknotes from the early .&nbsp; 1900s through the middle of the century.&nbsp; I got the idea to do kind of a type set for the one dollar notes and bought a few and posted them&nbsp; in 2010 here:&nbsp; <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t90849/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t90849/">http://www.cointalk.com/t90849/</a> . </p><p><br /></p><p>After reading through the comments of that thread, I wanted to do much more with this collection.&nbsp; My three objectives were 1) To display this note collection, and add to it so it could be more complete, in a way that I liked, that would be fun for me to do.&nbsp; 2)&nbsp; I also wanted something that I could show non-collectors that they would find interesting, fun and educational, and 3) I wanted to honor my dad&#039;s part in putting together part of this collection and doing it justice.&nbsp; In addition to the U.S. notes, I have arranged and displayed the World notes as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, here is the culmination of my work.&nbsp; I know many will say to buy the best note you can afford....well, I can&#039;t afford the best notes and am completely satisfied with this collection as it stands.&nbsp; I&#039;m sure one day I may upgrade, but I may not either.&nbsp; I put the notes in a three ring binder with a white page in between with an explanation of the notes.&nbsp; I completed the $1 note section today, and will start work on the 2s, 5s, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>I invite comments on my presentation, any holes you see, and PLEASE correct me if any of my information is inaccurate.&nbsp; I appreciate your comments, even if they are corrections.&nbsp; Here is a sample of what it looks like</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i917.photobucket.com/albums/ad15/bobbeth87/IMG_0854.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll post the set on the next page.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bob[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
