[QUOTE="Maxfli, post: 3685866, member: 69089"]Same here. My dad had a small plastic box on his bedroom dresser filled with coins and currency he brought back from the South Pacific in WWII, and his brother brought back from Europe. From the time I was old enough to read, I'd sit for hours with those coins and bills and our family's set of encyclopedias (remember those?), reading about the countries that money came from. I think that's why I'm still first and foremost a world coin collector. I don't think I even knew about US coins until a few years later when an older cousin showed me his Whitman cent, nickel and dime folders. Yes re paper money grading. Ask the guys on the [URL='https://www.cointalk.com/forums/paper-money/']paper money sub-forum[/URL]. They might be able to answer your tape question too.[/QUOTE]
