<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1074592, member: 19065&quot;]Welcome to CT and to potentially becoming a paper collector. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve collected coins for many years and always seemed to pick up and hold onto odd pieces of currency here and there. Some were passed down from family, others I found in circulation, but there was always something lingering in my interests for paper. Within the past year or so, I&#039;ve really taken to learning about and collecting paper money. It is an often overlooked side of numismatics by many who only collect coins, but there is a rich history and vibrant market for paper currency. </p><p><br /></p><p>For some inspiration have a look at this recent and active CT thread where members are playing a currency game of sorts, sharing notes from all eras and all over the world:</p><p><br /></p><p><b><a href="http://www.cointalk.com/showthread.php?t=148485&amp;pagenumber=" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/showthread.php?t=148485&amp;pagenumber=">Follow the Lead Picture Post-Currency</a></b></p><p><br /></p><p>I implore you to go back through the <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/f31/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/f31/">Paper Money</a> threads on CT and look at some of the great things people collect and discuss in terms of paper money. Spend some time getting inspired here and keep looking at your paper money and finding questions about them that you want to find answers for. Don&#039;t hesitate to ask us or look in the threads for questions already answered. Paper Money is every bit as addictive and thrilling to search for and collect as are coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Again, welcome and I hope to be seeing more of your current paper collection and interests to come. :smile</p><p><br /></p><p><font size="1">If you need to post photos, consider registering a free account with Photobucket.com. They allow a lot of free storage space, have Apps for mobile devices and remote uploads and are the server of choice for many on CT posting images. If you have a scanner, that often works best for imaging notes (except for some newer notes with security features embedded) but camera photos can work well enough too. Even some cell phone cameras are decent enough to get you started posting pics. Give it a try...</font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
