[QUOTE="gatzdon, post: 336931, member: 8247"]Aside from the fact that at the end of the war, there was a huge amount of devalued currency free for the taking, the war itself makes many of those notes collectable even for people who are otherwise not into numismatics. This means that there is a potentially larger audience seeking out such memorabilia. Personally, I would hit the library, get any book on world currency, and check out relative valuations for those notes. You are probably right that there isn't much value in those notes, but I wouldn't rule out the possibility. Each one of those notes has it's own story that is probably worth more than any monetary value a book attaches to the notes, but supposed one of those notes does indeed turn out to be relatively scarce. It wouldn't hurt to put them in mylar holders, then re-affix them to the box using the exact same method you already described. If it turns out that all of those notes are considered worthless (at least according to a book), you have lost nothing and have in fact gained additional knowledge about those notes that you can now share with anyone that you show the box to. Either way, tell your father I said thanks. Personally, I think men (and women) of his stature don't hear that enough.[/QUOTE]
