<p>[QUOTE=&quot;davedawg, post: 329062, member: 9026&quot;]Ok, I&#039;m new to collecting paper money (I only collected coins until recently when I got my first star note). I hate to ask a question that&#039;s probably been asked a million times but.....what do all of the letters and numbers mean on a bill? Basically, the letter before the numbers, the 8 digit numbers, the letter after the numbers, and the number that&#039;s located in each of the inside four corners (and I don&#039;t mean the denomination for all the S.A.&#039;s out there : ) Also, what about the emblem to the left of the portrait with the letter in the middle, I&#039;ve noticed that bills are printed at different banks. There&#039;s also a tiny letter/number sequence above the lower right number (e.g., FW C 19) Basically, what should I look for and what is worth collecting other than silver certificates and star notes? For some reason, I ordered a $100 pack of $2 bills from my bank and they came with the little wrapper over them and they are all consecutive numbers, big deal or who cares? I&#039;ve also started collecting the older bills that are no longer in circulation, or minted I should say, mainly the larger bills like $50&#039;s and $100&#039;s. Sorry for the thesis, but could someone tell me what to look for, what&#039;s unique, and what everything on the bill represents. Thanks! If you need help with Lincoln Cents, I can help with that....paper money, no bueno.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
