<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 793551, member: 4626&quot;]Not knocking coins, but with paper money there&#039;s just so much more space to work with that you can make much larger, more intricate designs.&nbsp; And you can actually work with colors!&nbsp; (Yes I know some places trying colorize coins, but it just doesn&#039;t look right.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Just as with coins, I&#039;m more interested in variety than trying to collect a bunch of similar items of the same type, so I tend to collect mostly foreign banknotes because there&#039;s so much out there.&nbsp; US notes just don&#039;t have that much variety in modern issues... you have to go back almost 100 years before they start looking significantly different than what&#039;s already in your wallet, and then the costs go up for anything in reasonably collectible condition.&nbsp; If money were no object I&#039;d collect a lot more US notes to be sure.</p><p><br /></p><p>But with foreign notes there&#039;s just such a huge variety, even amongst very recent notes, and most of them are very cheap even in uncirculated condition.&nbsp; Main reason why they make up the bulk of my paper money collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
