shinystuff6 Valued Member United States 60 Posts	Posted 11/20/2011 9:40 pm For someone just getting into paper money, what suggestions can you offer on what to collect? To be honest, I want to collect not only for the fun of it, but want to put money into notes that have a decent chance of price appreciation. I don't have a big budget to work with, and I don't want to just pull notes out of circulation for my collection. I also don't want to collect specific kinds of serial numbers. I'm thinking more about collecting star notes as of now, but what particular ones are in more demand than others? Report this Post to the Staff

Consider the $1 FRNs, one from each year series star and non star. if you want to toughen the search, then do that plus from each of the districts. Get a book first though that'll help in your understanding of the subject. Report this Post to the Staff
