A nice 20 cents note for my "small change" collection.

This error is probably my favorite recent addition:

 

Is that a brick of $500 notes? omg, and a brick of $10,000. $42,000,000 in just two boxes. wow, just wow.

 

Under the $40,000,000 box there's another box with $30,000,000 in $10,000 notes. Between those 3 you have $72,000,000. That's still a fortune today. This photo appears to have been taken in first half of 20th century (?). I wonder what today's equivalent would be when adjusting for inflation. Collector value has to be multiples of face, especially if they are in pristine condition.

What do you think the odds are that one of those boxes is still together somewhere???

 

Couple of new ones.
== North Africa $5; from a recent New York auction

== Hawaii $20; from Heritage auction

2 Notgeld notes celebrating their local fire department given to me as a gift from my girlfriend. I do enjoy these as I'm a firefighter [emoji12]

I do not know if television shows qualify for famous numbers but here is one Room 222 does anyone remember

 

I don't know much about paper money on this this subject but I have this twenty dollar bill with 222 remember tv show Room 222 in the late 60's since they have famous years maybe tv shows with numbers hold water

 

AND I am back from Europe... pleased to report my trip was a big hit in the British Museum, where a nice lady had a "hands on" display of some old coins and notes, so I whipped the beat up 1899 Black Eagle I carry out of my money clip and everyone oohed and aahed about it, even had some folks take pictures. If I'd had my whole carry stash on me I'd have been given my own exhibit I think...

Anyways, this thread is about new pickups and by God I need to post one. Today's new pickup is this lime green seal 1934 New York $5. Nice example with strong deep black engraving and a wonderful lime for the serial and seal.

 

Cool story @ the museum. I find non-collectors are fascinated by paper money whereas when you show them a coin they just go 'meh' and think 'what a geek'. Then again this was also in a British Museum so people there are probably more refined about arts, culture and history.

Oh and nice note! I've noticed you and I both have a zest for Lime seals.

 

I do not know if it would be possible to find an unopened brick of notes such as that, correct me if I am wrong, but didn't the treasury keep tabs on unredeemed gold certificates?

 

does a dollar bill 2009 with serial number B 42272227 J have any kind of value

 

Here are two recent pick ups that just returned from TPG.

 

Crap I am getting so lazy in posting new pickups... overwhelmed with other crap as I get old. Ah well. Today's new pickup is this tougher red seal 1914 $20 with old Grover on the front. Since the rage is talking about Andrew Jackson on the $20, here's the last $20 I believe that DIDN'T have him on it...

 

Yes. You can find it's value in several areas. Most notably on any one of the four corners.
