<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dr Kegg, post: 1240879, member: 23476&quot;]I have to agree with the previous posters that when it comes to paper money. Paper money can be equally expensive and time consuming as coin collecting depending on what you&#039;re interested in. Generally, most small-size notes can be acquired from your local bank and can be purchased in packs, just like coins are purchased in rolls. That would start you off on small-size modern notes. You could find anything from the series 1928 up to 2009. You&#039;ll find the different districts, red seals, silver certificates, and probably some star notes.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for acquiring other types of notes, fractionals, large-size, gold certs, MPC, etc., you will most likely have to go through coin shops, ebay, and other auction houses. While some examples can be had for less than $100 each in low grades, many are hundreds or more in the higher, more desirable grades. The question you will ask yourself is what can I afford and what type/series do I want to start with?</p><p><br /></p><p>My advice is to pick up a Standard Catalog of United States Paper Money (my favorite), or any other reference guide and look through it. Then look online or in the shop for a day or two and just browse, taking note of what catches your eye. Ask questions, but don&#039;t buy anything the first time.</p><p><br /></p><p>Welcome to paper money collecting. Say good bye to your wallet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
