Your collections are amazing! :kewl: The color and history of each note is fascinating. It’s a thrill just to look at your notes that you choose to post. :bow: I started out collecting coins when my dad gave me some old silver dollars and copper Indian cents. I do have a nice coin collection of many different types of coins. All of you have opened my eyes to currency collecting. In the last few months, I have started and added to my currency collection, so much so that I have purchased 9 fractional notes and over 100 foreign notes. As you may know, I teach high school architecture and Auto CAD. I have students from many different countries &amp; Americans also. I have been assembling old notes and sleeves, with note info, to give to each of my students. I have assembled at least one note from their home countries for each student. I have shown both coins and currency designs to the students throughout the school year. I will be giving each of my student’s a note this Friday. :secret: I have students from El Salvador, Guatemala, China, Russia, Estonia, England, Bangladesh, Nicaragua, St. Vincent, Viet Nam and the Philippines. For the American students, I will give $2 notes. I am trying to teach my students about different types of designs. I’m hoping to pass my passion for coins and currency on to my students. I will continue to do this for my students until I retire in a few years. It must be working, my student from Guatemala brought me a 1 Quetzal that is a green polymer and has a clear polymer window, very cool. :high5: Other students have shared with me what they know about their home country currency. I know that some of the students will be very excited to receive an old note from home. It’s also fun for me to excite my students.</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: black">Jack</span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
