<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 449026, member: 4626&quot;]I collect currency by type usually and I&#039;m not especially impressed by &quot;fancy&quot; serial numbers (binaries, radars, etc.) but that&#039;s just me.&nbsp; Nothing wrong with collecting such, just not my cup of tea.&nbsp; I do save stars on ocassion but would rather get a high quaility type note, and it not being a star or special serial number makes it cheaper to do so.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also collect a lot more world notes than US notes.&nbsp; Mainly, that&#039;s because I&#039;m big on type, and it&#039;s cheaper to assemble a greater variety of types with world notes than US ones; US notes are more expensive when you get to types that differ significantly from what&#039;s currently in circulation.&nbsp; Most of my US notes I got out of circulation or for not a whole lot over face value.</p><p><br /></p><p>Exception with US notes is the $2 denomination... I actually collect it by series, and after I finish my collection of all the series of small ones, I&#039;ll slowly but surely start working on the large ones!&nbsp; Have already promised myself that I&#039;d get a 1917 US note as my reward for finishing the smalls (just have 1928A and 1928B to go!).</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway that&#039;s what I collect... feel free to collect whatever sparks you&#039;re interest.&nbsp; Some are big on foreign notes, some US; some are big on fancy serials, errors, etc.&nbsp; Would advise you if you&#039;re just starting out not to try to collect to much at once... you can&#039;t collect everything and you&#039;ll give yourself a headache if you spread out too much too early.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for that one dollar note you showed... it looks like a somewhat minor offset, produced when some of the ink off the front of another $1 note, transferred on to the back of the one in the picture (which is why the obverse image that transferred over to the reverse of yours is backwards; you can see that Washington is facing left instead of right).&nbsp; The error occurs when sheets of notes are stacked together before the ink has dried sufficiently.&nbsp; The stronger the transfer, the higher the value of the error.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
