You should delete the post with your email in it. It is against forum rules to post your personal information. So, I am just giving a warning before a mod shows up.

No problem. They won't let you email him for his security, so you aren't someone trying to just spam. Trying to bypass that is what's actually against the rules.

Agreed with the notion of collecting Silver Certificates and United States Notes. They are (IMO) only collectible in uncirculated condition. These notes are so common and abundant that there is hardly any premium on them, which makes low-grades easy to collect for any novice.

This guy (^ in the link) is a US paper money dealer in South Carolina. His website is pretty informative and IMO quite interesting to read the historical context to which he gives US paper money, not to mention the relative numismatic values.

A bank is good place to go for $2 dollar bills because they'd gladly let you trade them out and you get whatever you find at face value. Just went to the bank today and got $22 dollars worth of 2 dollar bills. Ended up finding a red seal series 1953A bill. If the rest of them aren't anything you can just release them back into the wild.

Red and blue seals are a great place to start. You could collect silver certificates based on their blocks (the letters that begin and end the serial number), or by the signature combinations. You could put a pretty impressive set together for less than $100. From there you can find something else. As with coins, there are dozens of ways to collect paper money.

Coin & Paper money stores and banks are great for getting you started. If you have grandparents maybe one of them has notes they kept all these years and are willing to pass onto you. I'd say once you built up a foundation, move onward to ebay and Heritage Auctions which is what I use now to find harder to find notes. Always try to buy in the best condition you can afford as a note in About UNC is a better buy than 5 notes in Fine+ condition. At least that is what I believe. I hope you post pics of whatever you decided to get  |

Nice additions to your collection, I see you picked up a few star notes too! $12 for those, I think you did just fine.
