<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 1549570, member: 5233&quot;]So, I have been trying to begin organizing my thoughts (and collection) and lay out a plan how I want to collect currency.&nbsp; Several years ago, I became interested in paper money (Thanks to RickieB) and at the time I happened to be working at a bank.&nbsp; So, I was able to find and purchase tons of $1 star notes for face which I still have.&nbsp; I am in the process of going through these notes and deciding what I want to keep and what I want to get rid of.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I find myself currently in a similar position that I was when I first began collecting coins.&nbsp; I wanted to collect everything and anything and I failed to set goals.&nbsp; So, I&#039;m trying to set goals.&nbsp; Here is what I have been thinking...please let me know what you think (also, I have no time table on this...just something to work on as I go).</p><p><br /></p><p>Firstly, I have fallen in love with Nationals...especially nationals from my home state of Oregon (and double especially with notes from my hometown Eugene).&nbsp; I am keeping an eye out for Eugene notes I can afford (I have one already) but they are hard to come by.&nbsp; I will pick up Oregon notes here and there to begin building a collection with Eugene being the focus.&nbsp; This is a long term collecting project which I plan on very slowly making progress.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think my primary collecting project in the shorter term will be a &quot;small sized psuedo-type set.&quot;&nbsp; Rather than collect by series or FRB for now I think it would be a fun project to have a type set.&nbsp; Something I can put in an album and flip through and see the history of US paper currency from 1928 until today (organized by denomination...probably up to $20).&nbsp; Here is a basic framework of what I am thinking:</p><p><b>$1 Notes</b></p><p>1928 (any 1928 series) $1 SC </p><p>1934 $1 SC</p><p>1935-1957 (any note from this range) $1 SC</p><p>$1 FRN Barr note</p><p>$1 FRN Star (probably series 1985 - my birth year)</p><p>$1 FRN Low Serial Note (minimum 5 leading zeroes)</p><p><br /></p><p>I would do something similar for $2, $5, $10, and $20.&nbsp; I probably wouldn&#039;t focus on anything bigger for now simply because of the investment into face value.&nbsp; One exception to that would be if I could track down a $100 USN for a reasonable price.&nbsp; I have always wanted one of those.</p><p><br /></p><p>Finally, I am also interested to a certain degree with foreign notes and MPC.&nbsp; I would like to put together a MPC 681 set at some point and perhaps acquire some WWII era German notes.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I know there is a lot here.&nbsp; But, I feel like these are all manageable goals that down the road have room to grow.&nbsp; What do you think?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
