I posted a question here on the 28 April and yet nobody ever answered. Is this newsgroup only for member while other people get the cold shoulder.

Subject: The $2 bill On my way home from the second job I've taken for the extra holiday cash I need, I stop at Taco Bell for a quick bite to eat. In my billfold are a $50 bill and a $2 bill. I figure that with a $2 bill, I can get something to eat and not have to worry about people...

Here is a letter I'm going to send to a few of my Congressmen, to take another chance at the issues that I think should be addressed. Same ole same ole, ya da ya da... Dear Congressman, I am writing to you on the issue of modernizing the United States currency system. Here are some...

Western was renamed Samoa in 1997. For a time, the SCWPM listed both "countries". Samoa for issues 1985 and later, and Western Samoa for pre-1985 issues. I followed the SCWPM country listing by catologing my collection into Western Samoa and Samoa. Howevr, the new edition dropped Samoa and listed...

I have a collection of paper-money, most of which is uncirculated. I have noticed a brown mold (Fungus ?) on some of the money. Is there a way to remove that stuff without damaging the bills ?

Well, I just did it. I went and bought myself a 1917 US note in CU. I was at a coin shop to pick up a magazine, and he had some of these large bills that caught my eye. Its a dandy, IMO! Anyway, I am now in the ranks of paper money enthusiasts, and have one MORE way to stay broke! Mike

After my grandmother passing away a few years ago my mother came across lots of Republic of Texas and Confederate paper money. Two or three out of the twenty or so Republic of Texas bills have split in two due to handling, but the rest are in good condition yet very very brittle. They aren't faded...

Has there ever been a case where a dealer has sold counterfiet large size US Currency. I would assume since it is still legal tender it would be illegal to posses such items, even if you identify it as counterfiet. Or hasn't there been much counterfieting in this area? is the primary...

Do old checks from the 1850s-1870s have any numistical value? Not that I have any, but I worked at a college that had maybe about 100+ of these old checks, not that they would be willing to sell them, since they are part of the history. FWIW, they are all in excellent condition, in terms of a...

In the past, there have been many sellers selling phony errors on eBay. Mostly "cutting errors" hand cut from full sheets, (they still sell them), and various bills with the wrong color seals and serial numbers which have been chemically treated, (they still sell them). One guy I think makes...

Hi I see there are many helpful people that post here and I have gained much by reading in this group so many thanks for your posts . I would like to know if you can determine the position of a dollar bill on the sheet from it's serial number ? Also if the serial numbers of the other bills on the...

I found a 1953 C $2 Dollar bill a short time ago. Is there any reference to find out how much I could ask for it? It looks and feels like it just came off the printing press. If it makes a difference to anyone it is a series A.

I have a paper bill that is from Vietnam. It is from 1985 and looks to be of 500 Vietamese DONG. Can I get anything out of this ? Will a coin or stamp dealer buy it ? What is it worth in American dollars ?

Is fractional currency a joke? I found a "one third dollar" bill from 1776. I mean...its one THIRD! Also noticed that the signature is "Sam Hillegas" eventhough the first treasurer of the US was "Michael Hillegas". http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=3416&item=2203398196

Hi- I have seen bills that have Evansville, Indiana (old hometown) printed on them. I am interested in buying one for a buddy that still lives there. Can someone guide me on prices and availability on these? Condition need not be choice, but I don't want trash either. And I don't know what...

Why'd we outlaw the $500+ denominations? Too easy for criminals to carry large sums of money? Then again, when was the last time you spent more than $500 on 1 thing or at 1 place and payed cash....
