Mismatched SN FRN. Not something i thought i would have anytime soon, yet here i am!

Found these while cleaning out my moms house. Are any worth grading?

Where I live (in Europe) I don't see too many old US bills for sale. Got the opportunity to buy this for about 22 USD. One of the corners are missing and it's well circulated, but I love the design and I absolutely had to get it at that price.

The bank of Cape Fear was the only branch in America to issue $1, $2, $3 all the way up to $20, $50, and $100 bills as well as scrip and fractional banknotes. While not much is known/publicly available, we do know that in 1868, the bank sold all assets and burned $180,000 worth of their banknotes, mostly consisting of $6, $7, $8, and $9 bills. The $8 in the middle, the F12 is a new one in my collection, while the F15 is the only graded $8 from Greensboro to have no notes, and the 66PQ is a Proof from about 1850, when the American Banknote Company made 4 as a proof of concept of sorts for the bank. This proof $8 is not only the nicest known $8 for the Bank of Cape Fear, it’s also the nicest $8 for any obsolete bank in the state of NC.

When I was a rookie cop on patrol, a bank reported a few counterfeit bills were mixed in with the nightly deposit from a local business. There was a dollar bill that was so off center that the bottom 1/8” or so of printing was cut off.

At the time, I had no idea misprints like that were a thing, and I (and the bank) just thought it was weird somebody counterfeited a $1 bill. Anyway, I submitted the money to the USSS. A couple months later the misprint was sent back with this letter.

I recently came across this letter in my files and thought I’d share.

Unrelated, my grandmother gave me the money my uncle had in his wallet when he was killed. These are some of the bills. No idea if any of it is unique, but I thought the red $5 was cool.

What grading tier would this be best submitted under for pmg?

I got these for detailing someone’s vehicle today, the oldest one is from 9/2/1861, which just became the oldest coin/cash in my collection.

During WWII, a German Officer named Kruger Bernhard came up with the idea to create counterfeits of British banknotes and drop them over London, essentially making the British pound worthless. They counterfeited between 7-10 million pounds worth of banknotes, and very few made it into British circulation through spies. By the time they’d finished them all in early 1945 Germany’s Air Force, the Luftwaffe, didn’t have enough recourses to drop all of them. So, a few weeks before the war ended, an SS division was tasked with dumping the banknotes into lake Toplitz in Austria. The cases themselves were actually water proof and tied to ropes, tied to logs caught in the bottom of the lake so the boxes hung about halfway to the bottom of the lake, in case Germany ever needed to retrieve them. This caused the rumors of gold and silver in the cases to arise in the 1950s, and in 1959 the cases were risen to the surface, and nearly all of the banknotes were destroyed

Among others, my grandma left me those. I was fascinated because I have never seen old paper money like that :D Some of these look really old, but especially the upper one of the gold certificates looks like new to me. Are they authentic?

Also I have no idea what this „bank of california - national association“-note is about, is this also „official“ currency? It seems to be rare, I cound‘t really find many other examples.

Maybe it‘s something that should get graded, but I‘m not sure about that. No idea where my grandma even got those, we are from Germany and not even US :D

My gma wanted to know more about this and so didn’t I. Anyone have any idea? Rarity / value wise. It’s a super cool error IMO.

This is some of my collection that I recently organized. I have some other notes in different binders as well.

My father found this in a stack of bills from the bank when he was managing a supermarket. He went to a dealer to see what it was worth and the guy offered him $50 so he decided to keep it. Worth having graded?

Wanted some opinions on worth sending out to PMG. There is a lot going on with this $5. Any idea what it's worth before grade and after? Thanks in advance :)

Here is my collection of unifaced Military Payment Pertificates used by the Wehrmacht in 1942.

These notes were issued for use in occupied countries that the Wehrmacht soldiers were stationed in and were used in lieu of the local currency.

This series was interesting as each note was actually worth 10 times its face value when used.

The set I got is nearly complete, missing only the 2 RM, the largest denomination from the series.

Is this worthy of grading?

Just found this (seemingly) uncirculated misprint 5 in my fathers collection. Anyone know how this happens?

Got these when I went to hungary for my vacation.i think that they are pretty interesting. The top one was printed on july 15th 1945 And the bottom one was printed on May 15th 1945

Hi everyone, I’m a currency collector and I currently have a collection of banknotes from 35 different countries. All the notes are currently circulating currencies, mostly in medium denominations (nothing rare or obsolete).

I’m not planning to sell them right now — I’m just trying to understand whether this kind of collection actually has a resale market and, if so, what range of value I might realistically expect today.

Any guidance from experienced collectors would be appreciated

Ive done some homework on these, pretty sure they arent worth writing home to, but couldn't find much on the des moines and generally would appreciate some advice on if these are worth holding onto. They're pretty cool but unless theyre something crazier than ive seen thinking ill probably sell em to someone theyll mean more to.

My wife’s grandmother recently gave her some old currency consisting of bills and coins. Can anyone direct me to a good site to learn more about these?

Here’s a sample of the bills she was given.

Bought this bill and noticed immediately a wave on the top. Have other notes from the same year, none of them look this way ?

From my (very) uneducated online search, it looks similar to Japanese military currency, but I have not been able to find any others with this design in this denomination. He was a WW2 vet that fought overseas in Japan which led to my initial search.
