They are float frames from Michael's. I recommend getting the museum glass (they sell it) if you are going to frame a nice note.
Ok, so after seeing how Mec2 store his notes I decided to go the album route. I noticed the pockets are large enough to fit a holder and since I had ordered a bunch already in they went. Also went ahead with the black page inserts too.
Very nice, Icerain. I've been looking for a decent album for currency myself. Are the Lighthouse pages pretty rigid and stable? I've got some cheap pages now but they are flimsy and almost as weak as a sandwich baggie.
The ones used are from the Grande series, they're larger than the regular size. The pages are not that rigid, I would say its 2 mil. back and forth. The holders I have inside are 10 mil. back and forth so the total would be 24 mil. which makes them pretty sturdy. If you choose to use an extra holder I would imagine the album would get pretty heavy rather quickly. But they are nice, I'm pretty impressed.
The majority of my notes are stored just as Clay's notes are stored. I have a seperate box just for $1's, another box that houses $2's thru $100's, another box for the graded notes, and a huge album for 4-subject sheets.
I basically have all of mine in my combination safe in denominations from fractional up to $100. But I was thinking about the boxes soon and due to the recent theft of some of my coins, I'm so glad I didn't do it when I was thinking about it!
