<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ajm229, post: 145325, member: 3350&quot;]Roy: from Dictionary.com:</p><p>nu·mis·mat·ics&nbsp; n. (used with a sing. verb) The study or collection of money, coins, and often medals.</p><p><br /></p><p>Tracking of bills on this site is not only a study of money - particularly of the travel of money from place to place and the ability of paper notes to remain in circulation for extended periods of time, which is actually facinating - it is also a collection tool. I have, myself, collected over $4000 face in notes over three years, and have a grand collection of the various serial numbers I have encountered during such time. The most interesting one has been H26666617B on a Series 2003 A $1 note that I received in circulation about 1.5 weeks ago. As you are no doubt well aware, collecting is not only the holding onto of tangible items, but the obtaining of items and passing them on, while retaining a part of them for oneself. The record of having had a note, recorded it, and then kept up on its progress is in itself an act of collecting that note.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is why I believe the use of <a href="http://www.wheresgeorge.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.wheresgeorge.com" rel="nofollow">www.wheresgeorge.com</a> is of numismatic significance. I would once more encourage you to allow those of us who use that site to continue posting on our progresses there.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks, AJM[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
