<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ikandiggit, post: 1483844, member: 16269&quot;]To put this into perspective.....</p><p><br /></p><p>I look at approx. 50,000 banknotes per week. I find on the average 1 good collectible note every two to three months. About once a year, I find a very rare/high value note. </p><p><br /></p><p>Some of the banknote collectors that I know, search far more than that. They pick up stacks at the bank each and everyday. Some even have multiple bank accounts so they can withdraw money from various ATM&#039;s around the city in the off-chance there are good stacks loaded in them. </p><p><br /></p><p>Some collectors have moles in the banks to call them when they come across interesting finds or stacks with a potential for collectible banknotes. </p><p><br /></p><p>The dealers of notes online or the heavy hitters on ebay buy notes with the intent to sell them. They advertise, pay a decent price and because of the volume they do, they can afford to sell at a small profit. Most of them have &quot;pickers&quot; all over the country that know the dealer will give them a fair price for notes that they find. It&#039;s also good advertising for them to have a steady flow of notes for sale. I&#039;ve made contact with several of these sellers who can find notes for me, usually in a pretty short time frame, just because they have so many leads.</p><p><br /></p><p>Like any other hobby, it takes knowledge, time and dedication with a little bit of luck to be successful. Looking at notes you receive in change is a start but to increase your odds you have to increase the volume of notes you look at.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you start by searching stacks, you have to have seed money to do it. A minimum of $5,000 will get you started if you want to get serious about it. But, this also means you have to convert that money into stacks several times a day or several times a week.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nothing is easy. If finding rare and collectible banknotes was easy, then they wouldn&#039;t be rare and collectible.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
