Large Notes Rock!!!

Up to the recent past I have been primarily a collector of US coins.
Yesterday I received my first large US note, a 1923 $1 Silver certificate.
All I can say is WOW!! A new passion struck up.

I'm in big trouble now; last night I won a "Black Eagle" and a 1917 GW $1.
I may have to look at selling some of the coins in order to afford more
paper.

For those of you who collect both, which has the higher potential for
appreciation in values? Thanks in advance.

Large sized notes have appreciated considerably during the last 15 yrs or
so. I once had a collection of the 1914 series, but sold them to buy coins.
I wish I had them now, they were beautiful notes.

My daughter is the only one with a large size note, the 1917 SC.

If you like big notes consider buying the old Scottish £1 notes at 174mm by
128mm, a "square note", or the £5 note at 206mm by 130mm a "horse blanket".

Or just go all out and settle for a £20, some of which I part with in the
near future.

For physically large notes, try this Thai 60 baht:

I suggested the £5 as they are cheaper than the £20, usually. I don't
collect above £20 face Scottish as the face value is too high a percentage
of the probable cost for £50 and £100 notes, and they are often very
expensive as a lot less were printed.

Should I keep an eye on ebay for them? Billy
