<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Billy Kingsley, post: 917087, member: 19456&quot;]Back in the mid 1990s, around 1995 or 1996, I would have been 11 or 12 years old at the max. I had built up a collection of $1 bills and I was building one of each different district, although I didn&#039;t know what a district was at the time, I just knew they were all different letters. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I ended up spending them I am sure, as they are nowhere to be found. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Sure wish I had them now! I will always wonder if there were any web notes or star notes in there. I seem to recall getting frustrated in the fact that I could not find examples of all the districts. And I can&#039;t guarentee that I didn&#039;t get annoyed because I couldn&#039;t find any of the districts from M to Z! I was really clueless. (I don&#039;t have any examples of notes that they would likely have been in my collection currently...most likely series 1988 and 1993)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Luckily I didn&#039;t spend the coins and when I really started collecting in May of 2008, I pulled out the binder that I hadn&#039;t opened for more than a decade and there they all were, a little dusty but otherwise fine. (I had put them in 2x2s I got from somewhere)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also, I took white out to a few of them. I painted a white out X on a 1965 quarter, and I made white out circles on a 1980s dime. I really enjoyed playing with white out at the time, something I still am not sure why I did that. LOL. I also have Hot Wheels cars that I painted with white out and other stuff too. Luckily none of the things I did with white out were particularly special...even back then I wouldn&#039;t mess with something if I didn&#039;t have multiple copies of it. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I still have both white out coins and the Hot Wheels car, as well as other stuff, too.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My greatest regret in the hobby is not really truly starting to collect until 2008 when I was 23 years old. If I had started in the past, who knows what I would have been able to have had in my collection right now? Even if it would have been stuff I wouldn&#039;t buy now, I still wish I had the experience to buy it. If nothing else, I missed out on 20+ years of collecting![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
