Hello people, I collect U.S. Large Size notes since 5 years. About 3 years ago I bought my first Nationals. Since that day, my absolute favorites are the Nationals. Maybe I can visit the cities one day. I would like to visit all the cities which are on the Nationals. 11 U.S. States so far ....   |

hajduk, after seeing jersey, you might end up wishing you never left Germany in the first place.
Beautiful nationals though, I love the reverse greenback of those $20s nationals much more than the front.

BisonMatt, those could be fighting words for the two people who run this site "Mom & Dad of CCF"
Maybe a couple of days off for you! LOL
Hajduk, nice historical notes all the way from Germany!

Where did you find your Dover $20? I've been looking for one like that for a while. Congrats on the pickups!

These Bills I bought in Switzerland on an Internet auction.
They were not very expensive, about $50. :-)
I knew that these Notes are quite special and have contacted several dealers in the US to learn more about it.
A dealer offered $ 800.
After that, I was even happier and knew that I will not sell.
Then I wanted more Nationals.
So far I've only been in Miami and from Florida I still have no National Bill. :-(
But like all collectors, I'm on the hunt.
There are not many Nationals in Europe.
I buy the most of them in the United States. This is not always easy.
Some do not want to export to Europe and the German customs works for the Ministry of Finance.
Sometimes I have to pay + 19% tax.
But they give me pleasure .....
( Sorry for my bad English! )

There's nothing wrong with your english. You're doing just fine.
Thanks for sharing your Nationals. They are beautiful notes!

Those are awesome. The grade is better than average and the banks are far from easy to find.

Deepest apologies to our Mom and Dad, I have only seen New Jersey from the tv shows my nephew watches and Chris Christie(who was quite funny on Letterman).

Hajduk, you must have one heck of a nationals collection if you are posting all of these different notes all day long.
I don't mind it one bit as I could look at them all day long. Have any NY nationals?

Hi Woodford, No, I do not have many but I'm glad to show my "children" for the people which are interested in it. For sure, there are people here in Europe which like my american Bills. But if I show my Bills in this Community, that is like back to the roots. When I pick a new beautiful American there is no one who shares my joy or really able to appreciate the bills. I have no New York Charter Note. The reason is New York is not always but mostly very common. So I am waiting for a really good XF-UNC Large Size Bill for a good price. OK, I have naturally this one; Perhaps the most common charter note.   Edited by hajduk

It is hard to believe that "common" national bank notes are still available at will for under $100. What a great hobby.
