[QUOTE="RickieB, post: 602629, member: 2486"]Lettlow... That is quite an interesting observation. I tend to agree with your remarks on the migration from coins to PM. For me that did not happen until my early fifties! However, the remark on collecting World Notes caught me a little off guard...LOL :) While for me, my interest are US Notes, however, that does not mean that I feel differently about World notes. Simply put, I am fascinated by the mind boggling collections of world Notes quite a few members here have! I hold their collections in the highest regard....once you began reading about the engravers who are credited for the vignett engravings, you soon learn that many of these same people are the ones who created Vignetts for notes, stocks, stamps and all kinds of security documents all over the world! For me...[U]I have a hard enough time trying to remember the info on US Notes much less the notes of Countries all over the World![/U] I for one am truly impressed with the knowledge, desire and accumulation of some of our friends here and at other sites. One day, I hope to join the ranks of people like this, however, my focus remains on US Notes for personal reasons. I would simply love to be in a room with all the folks here that have accumulated so much knowledge. In a way, you can say that here we are all members of a large club thats meets on the internet...just think if we all could meet in person once a month!! My personal congratulations to all of you of which I speak. There are many of you that have and hold my respect and awe at your collections! Very best regards, RickieB[/QUOTE]
