hokiefan_82 Pillar of the Community United States 3652 Posts	Posted 01/15/2022 8:56 pm I was collector of U.S. coins for over 50 years before I bought my first U.S. banknote in 2019. I initially thought I'd just pick up a few interesting large size notes as a little sidetrack to my primary collecting goals. However, it wasn't too long after I started that I became hooked, and the majority of my purchases are now U.S. banknotes (both large and small) and Confederate banknotes. I've had diversions before that didn't last - for instance I had built a decent collection of British and Dutch gold coins but eventually lost interest and ended up selling them all a few years ago. Maybe that will happen with my currency collection, as well - who knows! However, I know I'll enjoy it while it lasts! Member of SPMC, FCCB, ANA and ANS.

Mr T Pillar of the Community Australia 2180 Posts	Posted 01/15/2022 9:20 pm I have a few but am mostly into coins. Coins is arguably an easier proposition for me - I like my British Commonwealth stuff but early British Commonwealth coins seem to be cheaper and easier to obtain than similar banknotes.

Slerk Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 1557 Posts	Posted 01/16/2022 05:51 am I think every coin collector has a small collection of banknotes/medals/tokens. Now I'm selling my collection of banknotes, but I don't think I'll give it up completely. I have saved a few banknotes and I think in the future I will buy more that I find interesting.
