U.S. PAPER MONEY

U.S. Paper money is now one of the fastest growing parts of the numismatic hobby. There are many areas to specialize in and one can also build a type or representative collection of the main types of U.S. paper money. There are hundreds of ways to collect these lovely notes. We have only listed a very few notes from our inventory. We have notes for the modest beginner and notes of the highest rarity and serious collector interest. Please send us your want list (wantlists@coinsinternational.com) if you do not see an item that you want. Note: we have not completely up-dated this list so do e-mail or write to us before ordering. Minimum order for notes, as for coins, is $20.00.

Remember that notes are graded like coins according to the wear and any damage to the notes and also centering is a consideration in buying a note as it is for a stamp. Most notes below are given catalog numbers depending on which catalog is relevant but the description covers the main elements to identify the note. Some collectors concentrate on small size notes while others seek the older large size notes. Below you will also find Confederate and Military Payment notes. Please note that an exciting area to collect is American colonial notes (see below) which have historic interest, with many at still reasonable prices given their age and rarity. Click on "ordering" above for information on buying these items.

Grading Information: The top Grade is designated by the abbreviation "CU" which means "crisp uncirculated" -- i.e. never has seen real circulation, no folds and other signs of real wear. There are also grades within CU. Other grades downward are A.U. (Almost Uncirculated), XF (Extra Fine) , VF (Very Fine), F (Fine), VG (Very Good) and G (Good) and finally just "Fair".
