Message:: [QUOTE="Dave M, post: 824246, member: 17469"]Just keep in mind the scope of "the world" in your collecting plans. Many folks compare collecting US notes versus collecting "world" notes, as if they were both about the same size of a project. Actually, many countries have just as many and interesting banknotes as the US, and you will be buried in possibilities even collecting one country, let alone "the world". So my recommendation to anyone starting out is to find your particular interest *before* you start spending a bunch of money, and the focus your energy and money on that interest. Yes, a stack of "world notes" will be fun to rummage through, and may help you find that particular interest. But over time you'll most likely come to the conclusion that it was a very random purchase, not aligned with your newly-discovered collecting interest, and mostly ends up remaining a "stack of notes" in some box. So as long as you're not paying a whole lot for these grab bags, and using them to learn a bit more about different countries that may interest you, I think you're on exactly the right path.
