After my Dad retired in the late 1970s,he worked part time cleaning a bank.This was an accumulation of bill bits from the floor.I had a fun time IDing the bits.

Absolutely frame worthy !
Print the story behind them and add a laminated copy to the back of the frame.

Wow. If you would have made us guess how these came together, I'm thinking we would have failed miserably in trying to find the answer.

Absolutely must be framed with the story. A photo of your dad would be great to display with these.

I used to place these on a counter at work with a piece of paper on top with just the bill corner showing. It was fun to watch the reaction of people who thought they found money.

I found a mutilated $20 note with about 2/3 remaining....I'm hoping someone at the Bank of Canada is feeling festive when they receive my claim

As a collector, you should collage them with that black background in a nice frame and hang it..Just like in this photo..

Pass it on to your son one day..
