I just started collecting paper currency from circulation.
As for what I collect, anything that I don't already have, unless its
not US, then it's whatever is given to me.
I had a worn $1 Series 1989, until I realized that there was NOT a 1989
series :-/ Like I said, I just started collecting currency.
US Currency:

had to use it to fix a, heh, NSF, at the bank :-(

$1, 1954, N/Z 6594891
$1, 1954, T/F 5118360

to what they are or what year they are):
The Bank of Korea, 1000 Won, date?, s/n 7979364
The Bank of Korea, 5000 Won, date?, s/n 1468648
Magyar Nemzeti Bank, 10 Tiz Forint, 1969?, s/n 063147

Ngan-Hang Quoc-Gia Viet-Nam, 500 Nam Tram Dong, date?, s/n 437293
Banco Nacional De Cuba, 1 Peso, 1980, s/n 973141
Singapore, $2, date?, s/n wj494355
I just started actively collection currency about a couple weeks ago. I
already had the non-US currency and the US 1963 $2, which were all given
to me over the years. The rest is what I've put together in the last
couple weeks.
I just learned what a "web" note is, so now I'm going to start looking
for them too.
My favorite foreign note? My Ngan-Hang Quoc-Gia Viet-Nam, 500 Nam Tram
Dong (I have no idea what this thing is) has a cool picture of a tiger
on it.
As for my best circulation find, my US 1985 $20, once I realized "old
style" notes are getting harder to find ;-). I did ask a teller at a
branch for some old style $100s, and they said they hadn't seen one in a
long time, and when they do, they "scribble" all over them with their
"magic" (whatever-they-are) pens to make sure they aren't counterfeit.
Up till now, all I've done is ask the banks for all their $2, so I can
turn around and freak people out as I spend them. :-)

OK, quick poll:
1) Do you collect:
a) Federal Reserve Notes?
b) Silver Certificates?
c) United States Notes?
d) Gold Certificates?
e) Federal Reserve Bank Notes?
f) Star notes?
g) Web press notes?
h) Older notes?
2) Picking one of the above, which is your "main collection"?
3) What is your lowest serial number? (Circulation and "special")
4) What is your highest serial number? (Circulation and "special")
5) What is your best circulation find?
6) Do you have a favorite foreign note? If so, what is it?
I'm hoping this creates some discussion, allows us to determine who
might be able to help with our own collection, determine who might
be good sources for info, and help flush the lurkers of this group.
I'll post my own answers in a separate post.
