While pondering the subject of the next "Days Of" currency thread, I drew inspiration from a post by WheatBack from the original 20 Days of $1 Notes thread:
Quote:
I guess you could make a variation with different bills from different denominations.. Sort of a mixed bag type thing. You could also start later in a series and go into more of the modern stuff or even make a 10 day variation. Just throwin ideas around!
The original thread can be found here:
https://goccf.com/t/184476In an attempt to make this concept more universally appealing and accommodating to any and all collectors of US currency, I give you ...
The Comprehensive, Unabridged, No-Holds-Barred20 Days of ALL US TYPE NOTES!This thread is intended to showcase, by major category, a collector's best specimen of all of the many-splendored and multitudinous examples of paper money that was engraved, printed, and circulated on US soil over the past three centuries. Truly, this thread should include something for everyone, whether you are a "one of each" collector like myself, or interested only in the minute variations within a specific genre.
At its best, I hope this will serve as a good reference for someone interested currency in that he or she can all-at-once see such a broad array of all the notes that different collectors find interesting, and perhaps even be inspired to begin a collection of their own.
Here is my proposal for the order of categories, subject to change and open to suggestions from fellow CCF members:
Day One: Colonial Currency
Day Two: Early Obsolete Currency (Wildcat Banks)
Day Three: Confederate Currency
Day Four: United States Notes (Large-Sized)
Day Five: United States Notes (Small-Sized)
Day Six: National Bank Notes (Large-Sized)
Day Seven: National Bank Notes (Small-Sized)
Day Eight: Silver Certificates (Large-Sized)
Day Nine: Silver Certificates (Small-Sized)
Day Ten: Gold Certificates (Large-Sized)
Day Eleven: Gold Certificates (Small-Sized)
Day Twelve: Federal Reserve Notes (Large-Sized)
Day Thirteen: Federal Reserve Notes (Small-Sized)
Day Fourteen: Fractional Currency
Day Fifteen: Large Denomination Notes (Over $100)
Day Sixteen: Emergency Issues (Hawaii & N. Africa)
Day Seventeen: Military Payment Certificates
Day Eighteen: Fancy Serial Numbers
Day Nineteen: Error Notes
Day Twenty: EVERYTHING ELSE! (Demand Notes, Treasury Notes, Interest-bearing, Odd-types, etc.)
Each day is your chance to post your VERY FAVORITE note that fits into the corresponding category ... or ALL of your notes that fit! The more examples posted, the more comprehensive the thread becomes.
CCF Members, what say ye? Please post any suggestions, critiques, criticisms, or any other comments so we can collectively make this a great thread!
After we get a few posters on board, I've planned to start things up probably mid-week this coming week.
Anybody Excited?!? 
I have a feeling this one will be better than the first.
