Not a coin....

[Greastart]

It's a $5 star note.

Been around almost as long as I have. I think it may be in much better shape than I am though. I've looked online for info but what I've found doesn't go back to 1969.

I've already Googled it.

Anyone got a suggestion for where I should look next?...I'll post it on the paper currency forum next.

Don, You're amazing. So...my guess is you have a life passion for all the stuff you're always sharing with us. Where should a newb begin learning? Thanks for your insight.

Not sure, really. One of the many jobs I've had was working as a pharmacy tech. The pharmacist I worked with the most told me once that there was no way anyone could learn and remember everything there is in relation to drugs, how they work, and their interactions with other drugs. The important thing he said was knowing and remembering "where to look to readily find the answers."

This forum has been that knowledge vault for me.

Though guys like you, Frank, Enamel, and Port Ewan Ace, to name a few, always seem to have an accurate answer, it would be fun to have some reference guides to turn to. The internet is good but I'm a pages guy.

Guess the short answer would be what beginners books would you recommend for a newb? One for US coins and one for US currency?

For US paper money, I use this reference: The Official Red Book: A Guide Book of United States Paper Money (5th Edition) Arthur L. and Ira S. Friedberg.
For US coins, I use this reference: https://www.walmart.com/ip/A-Guide-...75035&wl11=online&wl12=55481637&wl13=&veh=sem
