[QUOTE="Billy Kingsley, post: 831696, member: 19456"]I've been kind of busy lately and just saw this now. AMAZING Notes everyone! I love the red seals. I don't know why, but I would guess a large part of it is the contrast with the greenish white paper. Until 2/2008 I had never seen a note that was not a green seal...Then I found my late father's stash and sudddenly I had blue seals, (including a large size!) a yellow seal, and a red seal! I have really come to love them someday and am slowly working on building a complete set, or at least as complete as I will be able to get- I know the $100s are going to be tough to afford, and the $1 Star is something I will NEVER have, too expensive for me to be able to afford it, probably even as a rag, but I think I can do all the $2s and $5s! Here's the $1 that was my first and is really [I]the [/I]note that got me into collecting currency!
