A simple purchase of 20-25 dollars fro the 8th Edition of Schwartz/Lindquist as suggested by Clembo will be quite worth while!</p><p><br /></p><p>I had been collecting coins for over 22 years and made a switch over to currency just 2 short years ago.</p><p>While my knowledge is pretty much basic on currency, I have learned quite a bit. In comparision to coins, currency is in it&#039;s infancy so to speak. You can assemble a darn nice collection with a moderate investment.</p><p><br /></p><p>As with coins, it is all a matter of taste. Do not jump ship just yet, however, a combination of coins and currency is like having History and Calculus at the same time. Take&nbsp; it slow and read carefully, discover what you are interested in and read about it, then look for your collection pieces.</p><p><br /></p><p>For me, I became interested in the Fractional currency of the Act of 1863 in the Era of the Civil War under Lincoln&#039;s Cabinet.</p><p>It has led me to revist the&nbsp; life and times of Lincoln, the mentality of the United States and it&#039;s defined National borders that fuled on of the greates internal Battles in History, The Civil War.</p><p><br /></p><p>Currency is cool...why and how it was made, how it has eveoved and the reasons&nbsp; behind it.</p><p>Heck, you never know...you could be fascinated with a particular State and build your collection just around that!!</p><p><br /></p><p>Good Luck..and stick around&nbsp; for a while...</p><p><br /></p><p>RickieB[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
