Message:: [QUOTE="Billy Kingsley, post: 695441, member: 19456"]My primary collecting interests in Currency are US notes. While I'd like to do a complete type set, I know realisticly that most all large size are well out of my price range. I've recently decided that a complete set of small size FRNs is very doable, up to and including the $20, although some will probably always be out of reach, like the early Star notes. I will continue to add notes that I like...but more importantly, can afford...while working on my FRN set. I also really like obsoletes and in the coming years I will be adding a large selection of them to my collection, I hope! I live on a very limited income so what I can't buy far outweighs what I can.  I will also occasionally add world notes to my collection, and there are a few I am chasing after, but for some reason, I can't get into them as much as I can with world coinage, and I don't know why...I think it's partially because I have not been able to see them in person often. The ones I have, I certainly like, but my collection will always be predominantly US issues, and will mostly be small size FRNs.  I also really like the red seal United States Notes and for a type set of them, I have 3 of 8. I think it won't be too hard to get a $2 Star and a $5 non star, but both $100s and the $1 star will be troublesome. (The most I've ever spent for a note is $25)[/QUOTE]
