<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dave M, post: 946865, member: 17469&quot;]Maybe I&#039;m over-analyzing your question, but it is hard to answer as it stands. I agree, a beautifully engraved vignette is a wonderful thing, and as such I will &quot;inspect or study&quot; a stock certificate which has many characteristics similar to banknotes.</p><p><br /></p><p>But the question of why we collect what we collect, as Art says, can be quite different from that. I don&#039;t collect Renoirs, even though there&#039;s wonderful engraving work on them. I just can&#039;t afford the hobby. I don&#039;t collect stocks and bonds, mostly because I have this desire to &quot;finish one thing before you start another&quot;. I don&#039;t collect USA banknotes because I&#039;m enjoying digging <b>deeper </b>into French notes, rather than <b>wider </b>across the world.</p><p><br /></p><p>Dave[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
