Priceless Paper Money

Just about every PM collector I know has a note or two with not much collector value but priceless to them. Some are notes handed down from family members, or a note associated with memories from days gone by. To some, it's their "first of" or Birthday/Anniversary gift from a friend or loved one. Please post and/or tell us about your treasure.

It was another hot afternoon in late June and I was working my second job as an apprentice mechanic at a small shop not far from the auto parts store where I was employed full time. The shop mostly did engine swaps for a local salvage yard. My employment was undocumented and I was paid cash. I wanted to commemorate my first payday so I took a new one dollar bill and glued it to a makeshift wood frame held together with 3M yellow weatherstrip adhesive and painted with Krylon Chevrolet orange engine paint. I let it dry overnight and hung it on the wall over my toolbox. It resides now in an old wooden cigar box I keep in the closet.
