I have so many notes sitting in my safety deposit box and I want to be able to get pictures of them so when ever I want to look at something I don't have to go run and get them out of the box at the bank. What is the best way to get a good quality photo of them? Scanning? Camera? I was going to scan them all but then I thought about the camera, and I also didn't know if anyone had any other suggestions.

I scan my notes and take photos of my coins. Although I have been collecting coins for awhile, notes are new to me. I think it depends on how much quality you are looking for in the image. I think that photos look a lot better than scans, but it is easier to scan them.

I can't advise you as I've never taken a photograph of a bill -- I don't pretend to be an expert. But I thought I'd post a scan for you so you can see how it looks. Maybe somebody can post a photograph of a bill so you can compare the results.

I took a photo of one...The one thing that I noticed is that its hard to get close-up and try to get the whole bill in the picture, but that can be overcome by resizing with photo-editing software. I think that the quality of images is comprable, but its a lot easier to scan. (Sorry mine is a little blurry, I usually have it on macro mode for pics of coins)
