[QUOTE="ewomack, post: 8302779, member: 15588"]I can only speak to my own experience, but I would guess that the ways people collect banknotes varies as much as the way people collect coins. I've never really collected denominations, either for coins or for banknotes. I prefer to collect things that appeal to me, despite country, denomination, time period, etc. As for US denominations, collecting a full set for some of them can seem outright intimidating. Even collecting all US $1 banknotes would require a sizeable income, especially when considering the large-size bills. Even limiting that to $1 Silver Certificates in decent condition would entail paying in droves for even a few examples. I do have a "sort of unintentional" collection of small-size $1 US notes in progress, but even that includes the very expensive 1928 Legal Tender note, so I may limit that to the relatively cheaper Silver Certificates. Given all of that, I collect notes that appeal to me in the best conditions that I can reasonably afford. That approach inevitably crosses countries, denominations and time periods. Also, I typically sort my notes by country, then by denomination and then by date within denomination.[/QUOTE]
