I'm trying to build up a collection so I can be a donor someday.

 

This isn't an entry as I won a nice prize in February so I'll sit this one out. I just wanted to give a big Thanks to y'all you giving the contest on a regular basis! Oh and to show off my Piaget Horlogers wrist watch advertising medal from Geneva, Switzerland! Yep, excuse my hidden agenda!

I find this note interesting. The portrait is of Spencer M. Clark, Superintendent of the National Currency Bureau (ancestor of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing) who put his own picture on this bill while he was Superintendent! When Congress realized what he had done they passed two laws. One outlawed any living person on US currency without Congressional approval. The other law outlawed the issuance of paper money less than 10 cents. So instead of paper, the US issued a copper-nickel 5 cent coin, still issued today with the same composition, the only circulation coin still issued in the 21st Century with the same composition it had in the 19th.

 

Poster coin for buy the coin not slab....

 

I collect because I love history, and there is a lot of it in US Fractional Currency. Plus, it is affordable. Unless you are into specimen notes, super high condition, or varieties, they are mostly very affordable for someone on a limited budget. I have acquired a complete collection of major designs of all circulation issues most in nice condition (a few uncirculated). Mostly I have paid $15-30 each (one was $1.50, 10 cent Meredith in XF+, but that was a LONG time ago!). My most expensive Fractional cost $70. There is no way I could have collected a similar set of older US currency for that price.
