Error Note Fun and Folly

Why should I be interested in Error Notes? 
(you may ask)

The real fun in collecting error notes is that BEP currency printing flaws can be obvious, elusive, distinctive, and inexplicable. 

Currency ERRORS  have occurred since money was created.
Importantly, collecting legitimate  Error Notes is a fascinating sub-specialty for numismatics world-wide. Error notes have captivated even the most novice collector because finding and examining misprinted paper money is both educational and historical. 

In the US, a legitimate Error Note is any unacceptable note, created by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) that somehow, mysteriously (no one can say for sure how or why), escaped both human and mechanical inspections. That is why error notes are extremely rare, collectable, and in most cases, hold ever-increasing exceptional value.

That is why our Treasuredstocks.com staff encourage you to take a careful look at the contents of your wallet-- you may even find one! And what a great gift, as well as conversation piece, these Error Notes will make!

How to Start a Currency Collection

I want to start collecting coins and currency items; where do I start?

Collectors of coins and currency do so for many reasons. One of the most common collector is the hobiest who collects more for fun and appeal, rather than profit. Often, this attraction begins as a child who, by chance or purpose, receives an item that is both fascinating and historical.

An increasingly popular reason to pursue collecting of coins and currency is to do so as an investment Persons who use collections as a kind of investing do so with the idea that the value of the items, in singular or total, will increase over time. Supply and demand is the key concept here as well as a critical understanding that collections do not “make” money until they are sold and may even incur costs, such as the costs of safe and secure storage.

A third type of collector is the person who acquires a collection via inheritance. This person may or may not have any real interest in the items but appreciates potential value.

One great advantage we have today is the internet. For example, take a careful look around our Treasuredstocks.com web site and you will see over 4,000 items, of all categories, grades, and prices, all graded and all in full color view. And now a bit about grading. A graded item allows collectors to speak the same language when it comes to the condition of the item.

The term “Numismatics” refers to the study or collecting of coin/currency. A numismatist is someone who does this by hobby or profession. Here is a great web site to use, when learning more about such an exciting field. There’s even several links specifically designed for children.
