<p>[QUOTE="krispy, post: 1345295, member: 19065"]Great to hear you are catching the Paper Money bug khay. There's lots and lots to learn... and you can get really specific in to what and why you collect the same as one might with series of coins. It will seem overwhelming at first but don't give up, and don't give up on your coin colelcting either if you still enjoy it. I wish I'd started earlier in paper too as I always found it odd that I didn't focus on it as much as coins but felt the two ought to be collected more equally. Anyway, if you are starting out in paper money and looking to do so in US currency, then I suggest you start looking for reading material, books and links online as well as continuing to browse these threads. There are lots of amazing World Currencies too, so don't close the door on them too soon as they might sneak into your field of interests at some point as well. </p><p><br /></p><p>There's nothing to be sorry about starting out in something new. </p><p><br /></p><p>Let's just address a couple of things as simply as we can now, why stars you ask? why red seals you ask? star notes, there's fewer of them (lower printage and lower surviving notes in higher grades). red seals, they are from discontinued series, the same with brown, blues, yellows... you will learn about them all. </p><p><br /></p><p>That's my post for now.

There's nothing to be sorry about starting out in something new. Let's just address a couple of things as simply as we can now, why stars you ask? why red seals you ask? star notes, there's fewer of them (lower printage and lower surviving notes in higher grades). red seals, they are from discontinued series, the same with brown, blues, yellows... you will learn about them all. That's my post for now. I have LOTS of great links and suggestions to share with you and you can find many of them in threads in the past too. Glad to have another interested CTer curious about Paper Money. I hope you enjoy it. I sure have and have many CTers to thank for helping me along as I became more serious aobut expanding my interests into Paper Money. Welcome![/QUOTE]
