[QUOTE="wheatiefan, post: 509644, member: 15893"]I don't have the finances to purchase the beautiful large size notes that I see others post pictures of. But $1 and $2 bills? That I can handle. I'm currently trying for a 'type set' of $1 from 1928-present, and a district set of 1976 $2 stars, from circulation. I think I was tempted first by the different colored seal of silver certificates, and the fact that they aren't prohibitively expensive. There's also a limited downside, in that they'll always be worth face value. I've also hunted through packs of bills for star notes, though I haven't bought any.
