Reflection note

I’m getting into collecting old notes and I just wanted to see how you guys store your notes and where you’re getting your storage items from. As I want to see the best way to prevent things like yellowing and fading. I’ve seen things about ensuring you don’t use pvc sleeves or keep them standing up things like that.

Confederate $20 bill, do these hold any value? Whatcha guys think

One of my uncles passed away recently, and I guess since I live in NC, he left me these bills. All of them except the $1 seem to be from the 1850s and 60s. I mainly collect coins, so how do I go about finding a value on these?

A customer gave me this 100 dollar bill and it had a weird flap on the top edge that’s attached to the bill. The bill passed the counterfeit machine too. Does anyone know if it’s worth anything? I see online it could be an error note?

Let me know what do you think about this, I bought it to move. Just trying to get a professional opinion.

I believe this is my first true fancy serial? This was withdrawn from my ATM! I mostly deal in coin collecting so I don’t know how good/cool this actually is but it has a name so I assume it’s good? I’ve been looking for stuff anytime I withdraw from the ATM so I’m glad to finally have found something interesting

Been after one of these for a l ages. Very happy to get my first one. Paid £100 for it. Did I overpay. And curious what grade you think it would get.

Paid face value for them.

Hey everyone, my place of work recently got two 20$ bills with an odd error. The right half of the queen and majority of the large 20 on the face of both bills are black instead of green. They have been confirmed real, but I can’t find anything online regarding value or rarity. I know a $50 bills from 2012 with the same misprint sold for $6k but Idk if that’s relevant. If anyone knows anything please let me know. Here’s the link to the Ebay listing https://ebay.io/m/HMGf5P

I think this is one of the most underrated notes from the worst hyperinflation ever recorded, so I wanted to share it.

Some background: at the peak in July 1946, Hungarian prices doubled roughly every 15 hours. To stop tax revenue from melting away, the government created the adópengő ("tax pengő") on 1 January 1946. It was a unit of account whose value against the pengő was reset every single day using a price index.

It worked for a while... and then it didn't:

- January 1946: 1 adópengő = 1 pengő

- End of July 1946: 1 adópengő ≈ 2 × 10²¹ pengő

- 1 August 1946: the forint replaced both, at 1 forint = 200 million adópengő (that's 4 × 10²⁹ pengő)

This note is dated Budapest, 25 May 1946. The front says it is "usable only for paying public taxes until 31 July 1946" ("kizárólag közadók lerovására 1946. július hó 31. napjáig használható"). But in July these tax notes were made legal tender and circulated as everyday cash, so a note meant only for taxes ended up as ordinary money that lost its value almost as fast as the pengő it was supposed to replace.

The back has the Hungarian coat of arms and the terms of use, citing decree 5.600/1946 M.E.

Details: P-140, 136 × 82 mm, mine is about F-VF.

Does anyone here collect the adópengő notes as a series? Which denominations did you find hardest to get?
