<p>[QUOTE=&quot;logical123, post: 910225, member: 12223&quot;]So, I&#039;ve finally made the decision to finally focus on something, and that something is world currency. I&#039;ve set a few guidelines for myself, such as I would REALLY prefer Uncirculated examples whenever possible, and from there on, nothing is off limits.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m making the switch mainly because I think that collecting world gives me more insight into the history of the country. Banknotes after all, are like canvases. In addition to myself liking the history, I also love language, and foreign notes (especially ones in German!!!) give me a chance to learn bits and pieces of these other languages, and practice the ones I am currently learning.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, where should I start? I&#039;m putting aside some money for the Midwest Coin Expo in Countryside in about 2 weeks (it&#039;s every 2nd Sunday of the Month), and I&#039;m sure I&#039;ll find some gems there. I&#039;m especially intrigued by German and Austrian Notgeld. I also will buy country lots on Ebay. You can get so many mint, uncirculated examples, in nice sets on ebay! It&#039;s wonderful.</p><p><br /></p><p>I really like exotic scripts, and so I think notes of Asia, the Baltic states, and the Arabic states will be my areas of concentration. But really, I&#039;m just going to buy everything I can! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thoughts? Comments? Concerns? Gloom and Doom Predictions? Thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
