<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Notaphylic_C, post: 8313831, member: 130786&quot;]For my own country, I started out acquiring low denominations ($1 - $5) as that was all I could afford. Not long after that, I was after the signature combos, * replacements &amp; finally scarcer signature change-overs. This evolved over the span of a decade, or so. To me, there&#039;s no point to collect a common prefix unless its UNC or a special serial number these days.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I started acquiring World currency, it was the Euro&#039;s first signature of<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wim_Duisenberg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wim_Duisenberg" rel="nofollow"> Wim Duisenberg</a> since I couldn&#039;t find any on my first trip to Europe (2004). I tried to pick them up on eBay but they were seldom offered &amp; ridiculously expensive in UNC (for most countries save Germany X prefix) so I just went after a bunch of cheap dealer stock. I actually held off on collecting world for about a decade as it seemed to be a bit of an intimidating &quot;rabbit hole&quot; I wasn&#039;t too sure I wanted to pursue.&nbsp; That phase wore off quick &amp; I decided to focus on QEII nations.&nbsp; My primary objective was picking up UNC since circulated notes were a dime a dozen &amp; I wanted to start off on the right foot. I did get interested in odd denominations (2.5 G for Netherland Antilles) or $3 for Cook Islands but that was a brief phase. Lately, denomination only factors in terms of what I don&#039;t want to acquire (which is high denominations - generally 50 - 100 Dollars/Euros/Pounds).&nbsp; However, I have noticed that mid-denominations on island currency to be relatively scare (&amp; often dear) so I have tried to be sure to pick some of it up![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
