Looks a lot different, HUH?
Title: Getting hooked. Post by: triggersmob on May 28, 2010, 06:49:52 PM I have slowly been accumulating banknotes over the years, but have successfully managed to avoid the urge to collect them. Thanks to you guys, I am being drawn into the ranks of note colllectors. Lately I have received notes from Nighthawk (posted elsewhere), Nohope and Humpybong. Is this a plot to suck me in. LOL
Thanks to you all, now here are some pics and questions....(any info much appreciated) Firstly, what country was this used in? Title: Re: Getting hooked. Post by: triggersmob on May 28, 2010, 06:52:01 PM Is this invasion money or just Japanese?
Title: Re: Getting hooked. Post by: triggersmob on May 28, 2010, 06:53:42 PM Is it unusual not to have a serial number?
Burma? Title: Re: Getting hooked. Post by: triggersmob on May 28, 2010, 06:55:31 PM These next two are from the Philippines, I guess.

How do you guys store your notes? Title: Re: Getting hooked. Post by: Tobyle on May 29, 2010, 08:03:38 AM Nice to see another convert. I'm trying to get 2 collections together - 1 for my nephew and 1 for myself. Still got a very long way to go as my aim is to secure 1 note from every country for myself as well as a decent collection for Jamie to spark enough interest for him as soon as he is old enough to continue the collection for himself.
BTW - Love the notes you've got there too. Title: Re: Getting hooked. Post by: triggersmob on May 29, 2010, 09:42:59 AM Tobyle, let me pass the generosity forward.
Check out my colllection here...http://www.coincommunity.org/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=415 If there are any there that you don't have, let me know and I will check to see if I have spares. Title: Re: Getting hooked. Post by: Nighthawk on May 29, 2010, 10:36:01 AM I put my notes in either a small, medium, or large plastic sleeve, depending on the size of the note, and also affix some type of information label to it, as shown in my example here. I then store my notes by country, alphabetically, and then each individual country is organized by Pick #'s. You can use a shoebox or other type of storage unit to house your notes in. I found a couple dozen boxes a few years ago that someone had thrown away, which measure about 10" X 10" X 5" deep, and they are PERFECT for storing all but the biggest horseblankets. 99.9% of my paper money collection is stored this way. A box of 100 plastic sleeves cost about $20-$25. Another way to store your notes is plastic pocket pages made for standard 3 ring binders. Pages come in 3-pocket or 4-pocket sizes. But you cannot store many super-large notes that way, so I don't use them anymore. I really don't know of any other way to store them! :)

Post by: Tobyle on May 30, 2010, 05:39:10 AM Hey Triggersmob - checked out your collection - not bad for someone who has only recently become 'hooked'. Except for the Aussie ones, don't think I have any of those in your collection as yet, except maybe for 1 or 2. Will hopefully get to check through mine later today.
Title: Re: Getting hooked. Post by: triggersmob on May 30, 2010, 06:15:12 AM Tobyle, I'll check and see what extras I have and I will let you know.
Title: Re: Getting hooked. Post by: nohope587 on May 30, 2010, 06:23:51 AM If there is an interest then I have plenty of notes.
Will post a bunch in the sale section tomorrow. most are just around face... Title: Re: Getting hooked. Post by: EgCollector on July 05, 2010, 02:54:13 AM Nice collection Steve, i like the color and the drawing of the One Shilling, it is a real beauty.
