<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 539084, member: 12789&quot;]It is interesting how you write that your collection evolved.&nbsp; My story is somewhat similar also.&nbsp; Curiously I started with colonial era notes when I was a kid.&nbsp; Actually for a kid I managed to be picky and buy better stuff, like uncirculated New York Water Works notes from 1776 etc.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Then I somewhat lost interest in that colonial stuff, but of course, me being me, I never got rid of them.&nbsp; I just stuffed them in a safe deposit box and more or less out of site, out of mind.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then I moved onto Scottish banknotes, along with coins.&nbsp; The coins are a slow process because they are so much rarer, so I have continuously collected them for a long time.&nbsp; I collected the banknotes avidly for about 5 years, managed to accumulate some 400+ notes from 1808-2002, in all denominations, 12 different banks etc.&nbsp; Then I lost interest in that and sold about half the collection, but kept the very rare stuff and early stuff, and stuffed them into another safe deposit box, and more or less forgot about them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now in the past couple of years it has been attractive females on banknotes from all over the world.&nbsp; I stopped accumulating stuff and will probably sell that collection to finance my new venture outside of numismatics and a lot more philanthropic.&nbsp; Other stuff, like large denominations have already started to be let.</p><p><br /></p><p>When all goes eventually, probably only my Scottish coins will remain, just too many near unique items to part with - I have a feeling I would regret letting that go.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
