The stuck digit/ mismatched serial numbers/ missing digits errors really get me excited because these are notes that slip past the inspection process and are true mistakes that should have been pulled.

Now that I've expanded into U.S. notes as well, I will pick up some reference materials. As for the popularity of U.S. coin/currency collecting in Canada, there are a good number of collectors just because of the variety and accessibility of the money through the auctions, shows and other sources.
