So heres the deal, I work at a convenient store and a gas station. I have been saving every single star note and every single note before 1995 I come across. After 3 years I now have around 4 grand in notes saved up, most of which are probably junk. I am however interested in somehow making a set of bills. I want to have them organized in some kind of way so I can see them and show them off. I would start with the singles I imagine since they would be the cheapest and easiest to complete. How would I complete this task. I would of course go by year but what about series, under the year some of them say like "series C". How do I know how many series are in each year. I also noticed there are 12 places that make the money should I take this into account? Is doing something like this wierd, have others done this? I can find circulated notes back into the early 60's pretty easily in my hoard I have now. So I would of course start at the brand new bills and work back in time. (I think the 60's would be reasonable) I would of course only do a modern set, we aren't talking about going back too far where I would have to buy notes. Should I forget about series and different mints and just go with one from each year? Any thoughts would be great, also how to store something like this would also help.

I do not visit the 'US Paper Money and Banknotes' forum often, but I know there are some experts on here. That being said, it is a less trafficked forum than many of the other coin forums at CCF. Give it a few days, I am sure someone has the answer. Meanwhile, I will search for an old thread for you.

I found this one... https://goccf.com/t/16948#136593Quote:
unlike coins, (which are dated in the year they were minted), u.s. notes are dated by design series. whenever the design is changed, the series year is updated. sometimes, instead of changing the year, a letter is added. series 1935 silver certificates goes all the way up to 1935H...even though they are printed with "1935", 1935H notes were printed/introduced into circulation in the early 1950's.
for modern $1 bills, the only design difference between a series 2003 and a 2003A is the signatures. 2003 has treasurer marin/secretary snow, 2003A has treasurer cabral/secretary snow. series 2006 just came out, and they probably changed the date instead of using another letter because the design change was bigger. the series 2006 signatures are treasurer cabral/secretary paulson- two completely different names than series 2003's marin/snow. the next time one of the names change, you'll probably see a 2006A; the next time both names are different than 2006, you'll see a new year. |

Okay slash, I believe that you are asking only about one dollar green seal Federal Reserve Notes.....so here they are from the first one in series 1963:
1963.. 1963A.. 1963B.. 1969.. 1969A.. 1969B.. 1969C.. 1969D.. 1974.. 1977.. 1977A.. 1981.. 1981A.. 1985.. 1988.. 1988A.. 1993.. 1995.. 1999.. 2001.. 2003.. 2003A.. 2006.. 2009.
As far as your other questions, I have no answers as I don't collect green seal notes, (which seems to be the only thing that the overwhelming majority of the other folks here do collect).
I say collect what ever turns you on.
edited to add:
I just read your other questions again, and do have a few answers:
The "12 places" that you mention are the 12 Federal Reserve Banks (FRB) that issued the notes to the regional local private banks that they service....These FRBs do not make these notes....All US paper money is made in either Washington DC or in Forth Worth Tx.....These two printing facilities issue the notes to the FRBs...collectors often refer to the FRBs as "districts".
Most folks do collect these notes not only by series, but by district as well.

My helpful advice would be to take a few of those dollars and purchase a book on US currency. That would tell you what series there are, values, what districts had notes printed for them, etc.
For example I am currently putting together some district sets for 1976 $2 dollar notes. They will contain 12 notes when complete because the BEP printed notes for all 12 districts that series.
However, if I were to put together a district set for 1995 $2 notes it would consist of 1 note only because the BEP only printed notes for Atlanta that series.
You could of course also have a district set that had each note plus each star note for every district. Or just a star note district set.
Say you wanted to do a district set for all 1969 dollar notes. Since there were 1969, 1969A, 1969B, 1969C, 1969D All with 12 districts and most had star notes printed for them as well... it could turn into a really big project.
See where I'm going with all this? You may want to start off small with one series and gather the districts together then expand from there. When you really feel froggy we will talk about adding block sets to all that.

Nickelman I am interested in really big projects!!
I search rolls for all of my coins and am trying to get complete sets of everything I can from circulation coin wise
I figure why not try that with money too
I'm not in a rush or anything I'm turning 21 in a month I have a long time ahead of me hopefully
I am going to start by trying to get a date/series of every $1 FRN
I believe I have that by a lot
next step find each of the 12 districts for each date/series (should have quite a few)
when that is close to or about complete the next step would be to go through the process with the star notes
the info you guys came up with was a big help, especially the link from peiper1 I couldn't find anything like that and I searched for a while
I did learn how to "decode" the bills and learned all the terminology though while searching for info so that was good
I also learned a quick way to grade bills
Hopefully this will be the start of a new type of collection for me
I'll update you all with my progress as it comes along!!

Good luck on your project, Slash. I'm currently doing a $2 bill project, myself. I'm trying to get one example of each series of small size $2 notes. The 2 is my favorite of the current notes in circulation, due to them being an uncommon find in everyday transactions. I also really like the Declaration Of Independence vignette, on the reverse. Lately, I've been going to the bank, to purchase bundles of two's. to search through. I'm thinking I might have to hit ebay, though, to get some of the older dates. Series 1920's notes, specifically. Anyway, enough of that. Again, good luck, and welcome to the board. |

Hi Slash 112,
I collect small notes by the year, type, and denominations from
$ 1.00 to $ 100.00. They started in 1928 but they are not printed ever year so it doesn't get to costly till you get to the $ 50.'s and $ 100.'s. I could never do a District set of the high denomination notes, as the cost would get out of hand.

Hey slash112,
I collect the banknotes by the design year and by district. I have a complete 2006 collection ($1's) and have partials for most of the nineties and two thousands. It's interesting to see what you come across.
There's a website I know about that lists all the years bills were made and their values. I'll have to go find it and post it here.

You saved around $4000 in singles on convenience store wages? That alone is an impressive feat, and you probably have some interesting (but not exceptionally valuable) notes in that hoard.
What could a guy do with $4K today? Sounds like a topic for another thread.
