My collection, coins and bills!

[grasshopper]

I've had most of this stuff handed down to me throughout the years..note none of this was dug, and it's only a fraction of what i have. there are tons more bills and some more coins. I have many foriegn and coppers that i don't feel like taking pictures of. the million dollar note in the last pic is a fake..in case you couldn't guess :P

Nice collection, do you know how that buffalo nickel ended up with a new face? It's pretty neat. I mean like who did it?

That 1 Million Dollar Certificate is fake right

 

[grasshopper]

yes, the million dollar note is fake and the nickel is called a hobo nickel. i don't know how to find out who did it, but here's some reading on them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hobo_nickel

Nice collection. Old currency is always cool.

I believe that is what is called "Hobo" money. While riding the rails, they would rework coins to sell for food along the way. I think that's what I read somewhere. I do know that there is a whole branch of collectors that look for that type of coin.

you have a great collection of paper money. Those are some of the nicest bills I've seen in a long time, if not ever. congratulations on keeping them thru the years

Many of those bills are worth quite a lot of money, so make sure to be careful with them. Don't fold any of them!

That 1882 Morgan looks like it has some nice toning started on it.

Awesome Hobo Nickel.
What an interesting (and rare) piece of history.

I especially like your 'fractional currency' and the date on that Hobo--first year of issuance.
