Currency Roundtable #14 dives into the “mistakes” we have made while collecting paper money. We answer two questions: 1) Knowing what you know now what would you change about your currency collection? And 2) What was your biggest collecting mistake? Many thanks to the panelist who have donated their time and knowledge to promote the hobby of paper money collecting.

Currency Roundtable #13 is Part II of Q & A with the Roundtable. Many thanks to the panelist who have donated their time and knowledge to promote the hobby of paper money collecting. In this episode we answer more questions that were submitted to us via comments on promos we did on our channels. There are some great questions and answers but we did get stumped a few times.

Currency Roundtable #10 sits down with Tyler from Currency Relics who started his YouTube Channel for his currency collection when he was 14!!! Us "Old Guys" talk with Tyler knowing that he is a rare collector being as young as he is. But age is secondary to Tyler's banknote collection. You HAVE to see his collection - please check out his channel, link below. For such a young collector to be able to assemble the banknotes that he has is incredible. Tyler has posted a video update of his collection only ONCE a year for the past decade until recently he put out a mid-year update.

The Currency Roundtable has put together a recommendation for an Attainable U.S. Currency Type Set list. The link to the list is below and is a Google Sheets document that is read only. The list also includes Small Size U.S. and Fractional banknotes. The Roundtable discusses what aspects should or should not or could or could not be part of the list. This includes different Treasury Seals, overprints, minor plate changes or different reverses. There are times when we agree to disagree and move on. The Large Size list uses a max price of $3,000 which is a lot of money but most of the notes are valued from $200 - $1,000 because of the grades being used, which are lower VG 8. The list hopefully provides a good starting point.

Special Guest and panelist Silver Surfer @silversurfer1986 joins us for the first time! Roundtable #8 conversation is all about "small size" U.S. Currency banknotes. But we cheat a little! These recommendations are our opinions of what small size notes we recommend for a new paper money collector or even a collector if you want just a few notes? All of the paper currency bank notes have a great story and history behind them.

Currency Roundtable is saddened by the death of our friend Dennis Huff who was our guest on Roundtable #6 back in March (see link below to video). Dennis had been fighting a long time illness that finally took our friend and he will be missed. Watch to the end if you wish to read his obituary. Currency Roundtable #9 follows a path that Dennis took with multiple collections. This week we have new Panelist Dean from @massabesicgoldandsilver Dean's YouTube channel is primarily about coins, particularly Morgan Silver Dollars - but he's crossing over in a big way to paper currency and he has several videos on currency. That's right! Banknotes! He offers a great perspective as to what he is collecting. Dean is very well read already after taking the deep dive into currency. This month we talk about ideas of what to collect as far as "collections". From Small Size Legal Tender Notes to Large Size Gold Certificates and a lot in-between. It's a great conversation about the possibilities and cross-overs that can be in multiple collections that you put together.

The Currency Roundtable welcomes our first Guest Dennis Huff. Dennis Huff has been a paper money collector for 55 years. He put together an incredible, extensive, valuable collection that he sold at auction 1999. Dennis concentrated on collecting National Bank Notes - both large and small, and Error Notes. He also had an extensive type collection that included a 1918 $50 Federal Reserve Bank Note (FRBN) from St. Louis. Less than 60 have been accounted for from a minuscule printing of 4,000 banknotes. Dennis was also savvy enough to have his collection scanned before he sold. This at a time where that wasn't the easiest thing to do and he has been generous enough to share the images with us. Dennis was a early and long time member of the Society of Paper Money Collectors and contributed to multiple publications including the 10th Edition of Standard Guide to Small-Size U.S. Paper Money 1928-Date. We spent most of the time talking about what it was like collecting currency in the 1970s, 80s and 90s. Things were different. We had a lot of fun and actually learned some things! It's worth staying until the end. Wait until you see some of the Error Notes! We all want to say thanks to Dennis for sharing his time. It was our honor to have him as our first guest.

Ben @TheCoinGeek stops by for a visit as a Currency Roundtable guest panelist. A lot of conversation about currency and, sadly, some coin talk - but Ben is the COIN Geek and it's all good. Topics are are what's rare? What's scarce? Ontario 100 dug up some factoids about some well known large size notes and looking at survival rates. It was very interesting to find out what really is more rare but not popular.

The 5th Roundtable answers this question: What large size notes would you recommend to a new paper money collector? There’s not an easy answer because price always comes into play. To account for multiple budgets we all of the notes can be purchased in a low, medium and high range. Low $100-$300, Medium $300-$700 and High over $700. These are notes that we all feel that every collector should have in their collection no matter the price or condition. They are all classic large size notes that come with a story.
