Just 14 Notes Completes your Colonial Currency Collection!

Colonial notes were printed in 
all 13 colonies...

Colonial notes were printed in All 13 colonies but are becoming increasingly rare. The most popular way to collect colonial notes is to find and purchase a note from each Colonial State.
So why should there be 14 notes in a Colonial Currency Collection? Because in addition to at least one note from each colony, you will want one or more Continental Currency notes. 
Continental Currency notes were issued through the Continental Congress and helped finance the revolutionary war. Please see the attached note
Silver and gold were in very short supply and the colonies had no mint to produce coins. Thus, the creation of paper Colonial Notes.




Ben Franklin printed many Pennsylvania and Delaware notes. Importantly, his nature unique leaf prints on the backs of notes were effective counterfeit protectors. His business name appears on notes printed in 1764 and earlier. He had a partner named Hall who teamed up with Sellers after Franklin's retirement from the printing trade. Pennsylvania also used the New York City trick of issuing notes for specific government expenditures. The Insane Asylum Note (actually the Walnut Street Jail) and the Lighthouse Note raised money for public works and community infrastructure such as jail buildings, piers, and lighthouses.

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.
