<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wesdavidson, post: 604719, member: 18646&quot;]The count is interesting, the absolute numbers are not as important as the overall idea that the numbers of currency collectors is comparatively low, but that they are increasing , and that the average age of entry is the mid 30&#039;s. These are importand ideas for anyone who wishes to know which way the wind is blowing. </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Good numbers on collectors are difficult to get, good numbers on something as specialized as currency collectors doubly difficult. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Thank you for digging this up </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>a few more comments; </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Originally paper money to me was a document from history. Perhaps that is why I like&nbsp; revolutionary mexican issues.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I gained a technical&nbsp; appreciation of paper by studying old lithos and engravings, real interest in paper money as art came later. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Kind of an interesting aside, when presidents were meantioned, generals and others come up as well. </p><p>&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; We happened in to a neat engraving, about 24x30 inches, 1860, signed, of Winfield Scott, one of many used on currency. Now we are looking for notes to go with it![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
