Foreign Currency Passion

World Paper Collecting
World Paper Currency Collecting is as old as the beginning of the printing of currency notes from each and every nation on earth. Years ago, the main problem in collecting World Paper money was the lack of information and documentation. Even as recent as four decades ago, there were only a few catalogs of information on world currency and for the most part, these catalogs were country-specific.  


The first Standard Catalog of World Paper Money was produced in 1975. This catalog provided collectors like me, with listings and valuations of all known and recorded government note issues. Finally, the World Currency Collector had a guide on which to establish fair market value. This comprehensive catalog has created a collection frenzy.

Foreign currency collecting has been really increasing ever since. With the middle class growing and wealth increasing in many countries,  especially in China, the hobby has truly taken off. These foreign notes display the multi-cultural as well as the financial and social history from the era and nation in which it was produced. As you will notice on the treasuredstocks.com web site, foreign notes are full of vibrate colors and creative, magnificently crafted  vignettes.
Fortunately, expert grading services through PMG (Paper Money Guaranty), provide collectors with a value-enhanced product. PMG grades currency from all over the world!



In addition to currency and coins from each nation, Treasuredstocks.com has established a number of exciting World Money categories. These categories include Error and Special Numbers World Money, Olympic World Money, Printers Essay World Money, Proof World Money, and Specimen World Money.

Stanton-signed coin notes -- stunning and rare!


Treasury or Coin Notes of 1890


1891 $1 Stanton Treasury Note Bruce - Roberts PCGS 64 PPQ Very Choice New Fr #: 352

Large Size Treasury Or Coin Notes were printed from 1878 to 1923 in the United States, as part of its circulation of paper currency. The Large Size Treasury Or Coin Notes were initially redeemable in the same face value of silver dollar coins, and later in raw silver bullion. Because of their significance in US history and rarity, Large Size Treasury/Coin Notes have become increasingly collectible and valuable. 

A portrait of Edwin M. Stanton, Abraham Lincoln’s Secretary of War, appears on the $1.00 denomination.

One of the most interesting of the large size type notes are the Treasury or Coin Notes which were issued between 1890 and 1891. Importantly, these notes were redeemable in silver or gold coin.

Happy July 4th -- Celebrate our Nation's Birth with Colonial Currency!

THIS LAND WAS MADE 
FOR YOU and ME!
 Wishing you a Healthy, Happy, and Joyous 
Fourth of July Holiday!

 Today we celebrate our Nation's Birth -- and the birth of democracy world-wide. Today we also celebrate the birth of our nation's currency.





We take great pride in our nation's history-and seeing the rockets' red glare this Fourth of July will once again reignited our dedication to preserving history as we know it. Colonial notes are rare and extremely valuable. They were a significant part of our American heritage as an independent and free nation. To hold one of these notes is to hold a vital part of our social, economic, and political independence from Britain.

Happy Fourth of July to all -- and congratulations America for your economic "independence" and strength!

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.

Therefore, Treasuredstocks.com welcomes any and all questions regarding our postings and our passion for collecting coins and currency of all types. We are here to assist you!
