NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17965 Posts	Posted 12/05/2017 1:53 pm I was on a course for foreign students at Lyon in France when I was 17, and there were other students from all over the world. I used to ask them if I could buy money from their countries. One American student called Charlie gave me a 1974 dated Dollar bill. He held it to his nose before giving it to me and told me that American notes could always be identified by their smell! I still have the dollar today!

MikeF Pillar of the Community United States 3479 Posts	Posted 12/05/2017 2:51 pm It's kind of one of those odd smells that some folks take a liking to. Like the smell of your own farts or gasoline. Stale urine, new leather, garlic, natural gas and paper currency to name a few. Edited by MikeF 12/05/2017 2:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 12/05/2017 4:04 pm Smell is among the strongest of our senses when it comes to evoking the past, and this certainly applies to old coins. Report this Post to the Staff
