By the end of the year I should have over 1,000 bills.

THE STATS:

951 bills
$2,409
average face value per bill: $2.50

$1 - 762 notes
$2 - 106
$5 - 33
$10 - 12
$20 - 30
$50 - 5
$100 - 3

I keep thinking I want to take a lot of cull and spend it on something or turn it into something else, but I have yet to do so, because I havent had a need to do so. Some day I might, though seeing my collection reduce in size(even if its for a good reason) worries me...in the sense I know i'll be sad for a moment but ultimately whatever.

Is it just U.S. bills?

Do you collect coins too?

How do you know what to look for to collect?

My bill collection is just US bills. I have some foreign bills but they're just things I have gathered throughout the years and they arent a part of my collection as they have no value(face or otherwise) to me.

I do collect coins as well. What I save in terms of coins are: anything silver, anything that is rare(such as the 1939 D nickel I found the other day, second lowest nickel mintage for Jefferson), possible errors/varieties(such as my friend found in a jar I had a 1999 Delware Spitting Horse variety worth at most $20 bucks or so) and anything that catches my eye.

As far as bills I save a lot of stuff: any star notes I see that I can afford to hold, any bill with a fancy/cool serial number, anything old, any possible errors and all kinds of stuff. In this I have a lot of cull that exists to pad my collection but isnt worth much.

In terms of age, for $1 bills I want everything pre 2003A series, as that is where they begin to become uncommon. 2003 or 2003A notes are unlikely to become worth a lot of money, and most of mine are in poor condition but I like hoarding. For other denominations I want at least one of every year I can find, though none of these rules are hard rules, but I try to adhere to them as much as I can.

Everything I own coin or paper wise was either a gift, or something I got for face value, so this collection cost its face value or less, so I havent lost any money but I do have the potential to make more money than its face value.
