I've been searching for about 6 months or so now. I used to do it when I was very young, but I haven't thought about it until I found an off-center cent in my coin collection that I bought in the late '90s for a dollar or two, and then I started on my quest for errors at face value. My main goal now is old coins, but I obviously keep and enjoy any errors I find.
So far, I haven't really found much. I usually search pennies because I don't have the money for a whole box of halves yet. So far, I've found about 80 wheat cents, 1 '35 Buffalo in fine-vf, just 1 war nickel, and numerous Canadian, 4 other foreign (Bahamas, Bermuda, Australia and Panama). I also search bills, and I keep whatever bigheads I find (below $100). So far, I have a 1995 $5 that I might replace and spend, because the condition isn't very good. I also found a 1977 $20 and a 1988 A $20. About 7 star notes, (2 $10 [one rare], 5 $1), 2 1963-B $1 Barr notes, 1988 A $1, 1993 $1 and several 1995 $1 (no FW295 errors) that I'll eventually liquidate.
That's about it! I'm thinking about ordering a box of halves, and buying them 5 or 10 rolls at a time. I'll post if I find anything.

i also like to collect bills but i mostly only collect bills from the 50's or older. if i do find any old style bills they have to be AU or CU for me to keep. same with the dollar bills 1993 and older. i don't keep the star notes unless they are rare. well, good luck with your collection! 8)
