Currency and coins
Anyone else bounce between the two? This is the second time I’m hard into currency, sell some coins to buy some notes.

I love NV notes......nice one there for sure.

Reno - a NBN would love to have.
I do both coins and currency - US and World.
Out of town shows usually just take currency traveling much easier.
Very nice!... I could see myself getting into collecting Currency.
I was heavily into currency collecting (US, Ireland, Ethiopia) back in the 1987-1999 period but then dropped out for about eight years. I got back into Irish notes during the 2008-2012 period but then sold all but four notes. Today I find myself completely out of touch with the currency market.
That's one heck of a selection! There must be backstory to that group.
Will pay to the bearer on demand Ten dollars. So what is the difference between the note and 10 dollars?
Best place to buy !

I dabble in whatever currency interests me.
I have collected various autographs of famous people on relevant banknotes (famous military people who served in the Pacific Theatre during WWII on Japanese Invasion Money, for example.)
I also have been collecting modern notes signed in ink by the Treasurer or Sec. of the Treasury whose signatures appear on the bills.
All low cost, fun stuff to collect.
I also collect another type of note but I won't share that just yet so as to not get others interested in that niche market.
There is not much balance for me. I dabble with Confederate currency, have some Continental notes, and have a type set of Fractional Currency that I have added to in many years. I know better than to get into U.S. currency. I cant' grade the stuff very well, and it is quite expensive from what I've seen.
Yes, I do collect Currency as well and have been collecting a lot more currency than coins for the past few months. That is a very nice looking note that you have there USAFRETWI
I collect failed fiat currencies. The less expensive the better.
I keep star notes. Used to save silver certs, but haven't gotten one in change for years. That's about it for me and currency. That's another steep learning curve I am unwilling to climb at this stage of life.
I dabble in the very simple things like silver certificates, red seals, and star notes. However someday I would
like to own a $500 bill.
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
I did pick up a few Zimbabwe 100,000,000,000,000 (that's trillions if I counted right) notes when they were "cheap" at $2.50 or so. It seems that they now retail for 20 times that. (!)
Sweet, I'm a coin and currency guy too !!!
everyone collects currency and uses it to pay their bills every month.

Don’t get me wrong coins can be artistic but.......
Little bit of both is good I guess.

I like both
Series 1929. You could trade that for a $10 gold coin, until 1933.
Yes....One stop shopping here.

My Washington Quarter Registry set...in progress
Although I have admired the old currency, I have never ventured into that area.... I really like the $5 Indian note...and have promised myself to get one of those - someday. It is a truly beautiful design. The Buffalo $10 note is very nice as well. Cheers, RickO
I agree with the above post that I would like to own a $500 bill some day, and I regret not keeping one from when the past ( though I always needed to spend them I guess). Many of the old notes were so artistic and expressive.
Not to hijack this thread, but I got this a couple of months ago...
It's a Lincoln, the serial number starts with IL, and it's a radar note, AND SOMEONE SPENT IT! Of course, I got it in circulation in BTC condition. (Beat To Crap.)
And so long as I'm hijacking the thread, how common or uncommon is something like this? I've never gotten a bill with the devices so far offset...
I definitely dabble in currency along with coins. I like large size US, Colorado national bank notes, and foreign currency, especially British Empire/Commonwealth stuff.
Gonna get me a $50 Octagonal someday. Some. Day.
Nice notes. No idea on value but keepers for sure, especially the printing error.
All I have is this damage one.
Have around 4- box's of this stuff and maybe 1- of US.


And half of a box of Disney dollars stuff.
and some coins.
Hoard the keys.
Unfortunately they don't seem to stay in my pocket book long enough
One of my favorite notes.

Very cool note. It reminds me of our current dime which also shows an American destroyer.
