Should this sub-forum also include paper money found in circulation?

I've wondered this for a while. Not quite crh, but it doesn't fall under any other sub-forum. There are plenty of things that can be obtained at face value that are worth more, such as silver certificates and star notes. They can be gotton from the bank alongside coin rolls, but packs are easier and not as fun to search through as coin rolls. What do you think?

Anyhow, I got a star note in change at the bank today. It is not in very good condition, but still an uncommon find.

I find bunches of them. I have a bank manager that searches through all the bills and saves them for me. I have $2 and lots of $100's She also saves all older currency for me

I have allready received about 4 if the new style 100's all ready, but had to turn them back in as fast as I got them to buy my boxes, I keep all the small bills I find that are star notes though and ebay the 50's and 100's if I have time and bank roll too. HH, Maverick.

I cashed in $1000 in halves at a bank and got back 10 old style 100's from the 60's-1990.

All my dump banks save old "small face" notes for me. I have about $2-3k piled up, about 5-6 star notes in there. As for the new 100s, ive been through about 100-200 of them so far, and out of them, I have found 1 star note and 1 note with a ton of zeros (all but 2 digits were zeros), so I kept those 2. Oldest note ive received so far was 1950. I also got a $5 red seal. I plan on going through 4x as much coin in 2014 as I did in 2013, so hopefully I can accumulate some nice notes next year. One pickup bank (my original) where ive gotten 8 boxes every Monday since july just shut me down... I need to see if the smaller local pickup banks will double my orders so that I can make up for the loss of wells fargo! Honestly, I think I can get the one branch to order me 20 boxes a week, but I will slowly work up to that over the coming months. Dont want to press my luck just yet... I am afraid of the potential Whammy (you younger folk probably wont get that reference)

I went though over 1000 of the new notes and haven't gotten a star yet :(

I got my first one last week.

Strangely enough, I cashed my chips in at the casino today (after losing $150) and I asked if they had any halves... nope, so she just gave me a $100 bill. Star note! :) not the new or the old style though... it was the big face middle style. Essentially, I paid $250 for it. I got ripped off!

I love old/star bills! I always ask for $2 bills when cashing in my halves at my dump bank along with any older bills or star notes...

I received two 1934 $100 notes from one of banks the other day they are in surprisingly great shape. I love the ones before they say "in god we trust"

There is a sub-forum titled Paper Currency. Seems pretty clear and straight forward. We are already reminded daily of the failure of the last effort to add sub-forums to the CRH'ing.

Where is it? I can't find it navigating through TNet. Same thing with the Coins forum. I didn't know of its existence until someone mentioned it in a post. I wasn't requesting a new sub-forum, I was just wondering if interesting paper currency found at banks could be talked about alongside crh. I may be able to find the paper currency forum by doing a Google search.
