Not real recent but sort of; anyway these three Mexican notes are the absolute smallest notes in my collection of "small change".

The numbers call to me for some reason...

 

This is a shot of all my most recent pulls from work.

 

From the Heritage Eric P Newman auction:

New error note for my collection.

How that one got by inspection/quality control(?) is beyond me. Sometimes you can understand how an error gets lost in the detail of the bill. The question here is, what bill?

 

Ah, one more from the Heritage Eric P Newman auction

Well I am lazy so I keep neglecting to keep up my one a day goal, sorry, I suck... today's new pickup is a $50 1950A star note outside my collecting wheelhouse, it came bundled with some other notes I wanted so I figured why note (typo, but I'm leaving it...) keep it, it's a star note at least...

 

Stars were shining for me last night; from Heritage auction:

Today's new pickup is this truly outstanding $5 Bank of Washtenaw obsolete from Michigan. Bright paper and great engraving, love the blue 5 protector, the sideways seal at left, solid sigs, just a nice example overall...

 

Sweet $5! I wonder, what is the significance of the red 4? is it a protector of some sort maybe?

 

Bacon - I think that might be a redemption stamp of some sort...

Let's follow up one great note with another shall we? Today's new pickup is this sharp $10 1902 plain back national from Dallas, a highly collected city and this a bit tougher bank, Security National Bank. This bank only released 1902 series notes, and this note is a really sharp example. Was happy to add this to my collection of Dallas nationals since you never know when you get a crack at another one... nice bright paper and features on this one. Just wish they'd been a little more careful with the scissors...

 

@MEC2 , love the signatures on your Dallas $10 PB, the eye appeal is amazing.

 

Here's one I had forgotten about; used it in my Civil War Medical Records Keeping presentation. Also included is a link to Juliet Hopkins (lower right corner). She was indeed a compassionate and humble and selfless lady of the South.

Today's new pickup is a pleasant $2 obsolete from Connecticut, the Eastern Bank. Trains are a bonus as always in a design, as are big red protectors like here. Overall a nice design, and the signature on the right looks like Chittenden, wonder if it's any relation to the Chittenden on the first series of US greenbacks...

 

Today's new pickup is this 1934 Richmond $5 star note. Another blank filled in for the star collection...

 

A fun acquisition (actually gift from a friend), five Roman Numeral radar notes.
