Thanks for the suggestions (and for the question). I'll have to pick at least one of those up myself since I'm starting out on U.S. Currency collecting!

It's a good site, but in my opinion it is way too broad and doesn't list stars or even signature combos. You could have a $200 dollar note just because of certain signatures on the bill, but then look at that site and see that it says it's only worth $50 because it lumps everything into one year. This is especially important for large size notes.

This is the guide I use

Standard Guide to Small Size US Paper Money 10th edition by John Shwartz and Scott Lindquist.

The book is a few years outdated and they wont be publishing more editions. So, maybe a different more recent book would be better.
