houston_guy462004 Valued Member United States 235 Posts	Posted 11/23/2006 1:07 pm The collection and study of coins is "numismatics." The collection and study of paper money is _______ ? Also, is there a recommended website that gives the basics of paper money collecting: like what is the purpose of the serial number, what does the letter after the series date mean, what do different colored seals mean, how is paper money collected (by type, by signatures on the note, by serial number, or just what)? Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

Morgan Fred Rest in Peace United States 2684 Posts	Posted 11/23/2006 1:59 pm Hi Bill-- The collection and study of paper money is also numismatics as is tokens, medals and other exonumia. I'm not aware of a separate term for those who specialize in paper money, but I'm sure someone somewhere has coined (sri ) a term. ScoutJim is knowledgeable on paper money, will probably check in here after finishing his turkey dinner, can answer your questions better than I. Fred Report this Post to the Staff
