<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hookman, post: 7711465, member: 99642&quot;]Helen, while you have access to a register full of money, don&#039;t pass on the paper money.</p><p>There are lots of forms of collectible paper money. They are referred to as notes, not bills.</p><p>There is much more to learn about collecting than we could school you on in one visit.</p><p>I&#039;ll give you some basic info to get you started, and then you keep coming back to learn more. Everyone here is happy to help.</p><p><br /></p><p>Star Notes (replacement notes)</p><p>Silver Certificates</p><p>Fancy Serial Numbers</p><p>Different Color Seals</p><p><br /></p><p>The first 2 are easy to spot : The Star ( * , an actual star, not this asterisk ) is printed at the beginning or end (depending on the year/series) of the serial number of the note. The words &quot; Silver Certificate &quot; are printed at the top center of the note.</p><p>Both are relatively easy to find/spot but are not always valuable. That&#039;s where your &quot;education&quot; will come in.</p><p><br /></p><p>Fancy Serial Numbers are right there on the note also but are not so easy to recognize until you get used to looking for them. There are about 8 or so different FSNs to look for. I&#039;ll give you a link to help you with them.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are several different color Seals to look for. Each color means something different.&nbsp; A brown seal means it is a Hawaii emergency note. It will have the name Hawaii, in small letters, in 2 places on the front, and 1 really big Hawaii on the back.</p><p>A yellow seal means that it is WW II North Africa money, but it doesn&#039;t say anything about Africa, it just has a yellow seal. There are others such as Blue, Black, and Red. Most modern notes have a green Seal.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are guys here who know far more about coins and notes than I do so don&#039;t hesitate to ask questions.&nbsp; Also, we LOVE pictures.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.coolserialnumbers.com/FancySerialNumbers.aspx" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coolserialnumbers.com/FancySerialNumbers.aspx" rel="nofollow">CoolSerialNumbers.com - Fancy Serial Numbers</a></p><p><a href="http://www.mycurrencycollection.com/reference/star-notes/lookup" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.mycurrencycollection.com/reference/star-notes/lookup" rel="nofollow"><br /></a></p><p><a href="http://www.mycurrencycollection.com/reference/star-notes/lookup" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.mycurrencycollection.com/reference/star-notes/lookup" rel="nofollow">Star Note Lookup | My Currency Collection</a></p><p><a href="http://www.mycurrencycollection.com/reference/star-notes/lookup" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.mycurrencycollection.com/reference/star-notes/lookup" rel="nofollow"><br /></a></p><p><a href="https://www.pmgnotes.com/paper-money-grading/grading-scale/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pmgnotes.com/paper-money-grading/grading-scale/" rel="nofollow">PMG Paper Money Grading Scale | PMG</a></p><p><a href="https://www.pmgnotes.com/paper-money-grading/grading-scale/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pmgnotes.com/paper-money-grading/grading-scale/" rel="nofollow"><br /></a></p><p><span style="color: #176093"><u>termsmethods</u></span></p><p><span style="color: #176093"><u><br /></u></span></p><p><span style="color: #176093"><u><a href="https://www.thepennyhoarder.com/make-money/side-gigs/cool-serial-numbers-worth-more/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.thepennyhoarder.com/make-money/side-gigs/cool-serial-numbers-worth-more/" rel="nofollow">cool-serial-numbers-worth-more</a></u></span></p><p><span style="color: #176093"><u><br /></u></span></p><p><span style="color: #176093"><u></u></span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
