Banknote & Currency Collecting for Beginners - Old Paper Money 101 (US & World)

This video should be a good introduction for anyone interested in learning more about old banknote collecting and a lot of the history behind United States bills as well as some inspiration for a potential collection of US banknotes or world currency! There is so much history on these notes, and I wanted to share a brief overview with you so that you are equipped with the basic information that can be super helpful as a starting point to go off and learn more! Looks like I gave myself some video topics to delve deeper into… see you on some of those videos!

    Awesome collection. A lot of airports have currency exchange stations. For a small fee you can exchange your US money for all types of international money. A few weeks ago I traveled from NC to Denver. Even though it was a domestic flight i was able to score a lot of bank notes from other countries for practically face value.

    I started with world currency at about the same age. I was that kid that asked for currency, coins , and stamps. I seem to always get world currency and cancelled stamps. I don't think my parents really knew but that's ok. I never pursued the world currency . It just felt like cheap nothing, some of it could be used for board games. US currency has that feel , smell, and those little blue and red silk threads.

    Nice presentation, Christian! One of the coolest world notes is the 1912 Russian 500 rubles. They are huge, have beautiful engraving, and at the time of issue would have purchased a house. If you look around, you can pick one up for a few bucks.

    My few bills consist of a twenty that’s got the backside of the White House on 1988 I believe. Then in 1999 there’s a portrait of Jackson much larger. For some reason I don’t have much of an itch for bills. I used to have bills from a trip to Sydney Australia. But then I rationalized I could just go to google to look at the bills so I traded them back to us currency at the airport. On a different topic the best coin I ever owned was twenty dollar coin. Beautiful

    On the front of a series 2017A one dollar bill, what does the small letter & small number on the left of the bill represent? I thought that I read that it represents the position of the bill on the sheet of bills that it was part of. But I have two bills with consecutive serial numbers and both bills have the same letter & number on the left of the face of the bills. I do apologize for this question but I am very confused. Thanks so much for your help.

    Back in the day gold and silver for paper. Today a $1 bill will get you 4 clad quarters worth about 25 cents melt. On the upside a $1 bill could get you 100 pennies 1982 or prior worth $3 melt because of they're pure copper.

    I just got a pack of 100 $2. It was a fresh pack from the mint. They were in consecutive order except the last 7 notes were * notes and they were not in consecutive order. Is this common practice to mix * notes in with regular Notes? The number started with L00143311* and ended with L00143333*. They were from series 2017A. Any info would be appreciated.
