Does Anyone Collect from Circulation?
 

I once built a set of $1 bills, one from each Federal Reserve Bank, A
through L for Boston to San Francisco.

No doubt some collectors here must be on the look out for radars,
stars, etc.

I *used* to have about $400-450 face in star notes collected over about 5
years, but I recenly spent all but the $100 star note.

I have YET to find a repeater or radar in circulation. I have found two with
the www.wheresgeorge.com stamp.

The only time I save something from circulation is if I can get some of the
older FRN's, usually $10's or $20's. Around where I live it is possible
sometimes to inquire at banks, I have plucked series 1934's out as recently
as last year.

I once found a $1 with serial number 33233333.

I don't check notes in circulation for radars or solids as there's almost
no demand for them in Scotland.

I have found a few replacement notes in circulation and I watch for lasts
and firsts.

I also got consecutive error notes direct from the bank once but the error
is not that great, a shift of part of the design by a few mm, to make them
worth much above face. Billy

My best circulation find was a $10 with serial number nm00nm00, where
"nm" has special meaning for a friend of mine. I sold it to him for $10.10.

Best find was 15 sequential star $20s from an ATM untouched by hands
other than mine.

Not yet, you mean...

Due to the enormous variety of Scottish notes there never will be any demand,
we have no need to veer of into radars and such like to add a bit of "interest"
to a collection.

I'm not aware of a "radar" note ever being listed for sale by a UK dealer or
auction house.

If I was to offer a "radar note" for sale to my fellow members of the Scottish
Chapter of the IBNS at one of our meetings their response would be, "a what?".
