- Welcome to Polar Currency and video number 68, 2024 Mail Call. I have to give a shout out to a few fellow collectors, friends and RUclips channel creators thanking them for sending me some very nice gifts in 2024. I’m a bit behind with this video but better late than never! 2024 was a pretty good year. I can’t believe that I’ve been doing this for just over two years with 68 of, what I call my normal videos, along with 12 Currency Roundtables, 3 Talking Money, a new Currency U series and a handful of shorts. I’m thankful for the gifts but I’m more thankful for the friendships that I’ve made because of RUclips.

Is it called Paper Currency or Paper Money? Because it’s not paper at all. But I am a Paper Money Collector and like Paper Money Collecting as a Hobby. The Hobby is called Numismatics and if you collect you are a Numismatist. I also love History and work for a historical society and love collecting a Dollar or Dollars specifically the U.S. Dollar or is it the US Dollar? I have recently started collecting Obsolete Bank Notes or Obsolete Banknotes? Is Banknote one or two words? Bank Note or Banknote? Today’s currency is made by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) and issued by the Federal Reserve Bank which issues Federal Reserve Notes that have a green seal and green serial numbers. At one point in time they issued large size banknotes called Federal Reserve Bank Notes. The Treasury Department used to issue Treasury Notes, Gold Certificates, Silver Certificates, and Legal Tender Notes, United States Notes and National Bank Notes. There were two sizes of U.S. currency. They were the Small Size Banknote, Small Size Bank note and the Large Size Banknote. Before 1996 they were called Small Head Banknotes, Small Head Bank Note and after that they were called Monochrome Bank Note and now the U.S. simply issues today’s bank notes known as colorized currency. There are many different ways to collect paper money. U.S. Federal notes that date back to 1861 and all of the different types of money that were issued by the United States. Break that down. You can collect by Banknote type, serial numbers, fancy serial numbers, National Bank Notes, Error money notes along with names of towns or people. The U.S. did not issue paper money until the first year of the U.S. Civil War in 1861. Before that there was Obsolete Banknotes. State-chartered banks and other private institutions provided the majority of currency known as obsolete notes that allowed the United States to grow from 1792 to 1866. This happened because the American government was unable to provide sufficient coinage to meet the nation’s economic needs. Since the Federal government refused to issue paper money, except in emergencies, and state governments were forbidden from doing so, banks and private institutions began producing their own paper currency to meet the needs of local commerce. Over 8,000 institutions issued paper currency during the period, providing a substitute for coinage. Unfortunately obsolete notes had several drawbacks: They were only as reliable as the institution that issued them; the huge number and variety of note designs and issuers encouraged counterfeiting; and as a result, the notes were only accepted close to their place of origin - so that they could be cashed in for “real” money if need be. The Civil War brought an end to the era of obsolete notes as a result of the Federal government’s need to create a stable national currency to pay for the war. World banknotes represent a tangible connection to history and culture around the world, offering numerous enjoyable opportunities for those who want to travel the globe through numismatics. There is also grading services out there such as PMG or Paper Money Guarantee and PCGS Banknote.

Hello Dan!!! Wow! You have definitely hit the “Amazing Gifts of the Year” jackpot!! I’m so very very happy for you Dan, and I’m sure these gifts were well deserved by you!

Great video Dan!!!
Thanks Mr. T! Welcome to RUclips - great start and great to see another currency channel!
Thank you so much Dan.....so much respect for you and what you have accomplished!!!
@@MrTsCurrency Keep your direction great notes and great information.
You have great friends 😮. Loved the bimetallic Mexican commemorative coin 😎
I am lucky and yeah that coin is fantastic - what are the odds the US Mint would ever return the favor unless your Great Britain?!
@ no chance! Is there a U.S. bimetallic coin? I doubt it.
Nope! They won’t do it!
5:07 Crazy!
I know! My thoughts on currency as "investment" is it's very risky...unless you purchased 500 $10 1901 Legal Tender Notes in 1968!
Thanks!
What?! Thanks!
Happy New Year! Friends are what it's all about.
It and Happy New Year to you!
👏👏👏
Thanks
you can see that many people appreciate your channel and the time you put into it. 😊
Sincerely humbling Mark.
Just wanted to say thank you for such a great channel with amazing content. You have inspired me to restart my currency collection and to even expand my collecting horizons into world notes. I was wondering if you had any recommendations for books on obsolete currency. Thanks again for your inspiration.
Thanks for the kind words and that's great to hear! For Obsolete starter books a nice, inexpensive (large) book is Obsolete Paper Money Issued by Banks in The United States by Q. David Bowers (Whitman $30 link: whitman.com/obsolete-paper-money-1782-1866/). It's packed with history and a great general reference book. I suggest searching to see if your home state has an Obsolete book - many do east of the Mississippi. (I'm from Minnesota and I was surprised to learn about it 5-6 years ago shawnhewitt.com/minnesota-obsolete-bank-notes-scrip/) If you're going to purchase obsoletes the best "price guide" is the discontinued book by Don Kelly: Obsolete Paper Money A guide with prices. Not a lot of information but it's the only guide that I know of that provides pricing but it's copyright is 2018 so the prices are getting old - and the book goes used for about $80. But it provides a price range and if one note is more expensive than another. Using Heritage Auctions "Past Sales" archive is also a great way to see paid prices for obsoletes and the Kelly Book can help identify them to help you search on Heritage, etc. Good luck and I'm interested to hear where you go with world banknotes!
This was an Awesome video!!! Like all of the rest of your incredible videos. Keep up the Great work! Im learning so much about the History and great tips on collecting currency. I just started my currency collecting journey this year and i cant wait to see what else you have in store this year. Thanks for sharing!!! God Bless.🙂👍
Thank you for the kind words. Always glad to hear that folks enjoy the videos. And Welcome to collecting paper currency. What are you thinking about starting with?
@@PolarCurrency Well Im all over the place Lol. I have the currency bug pretty bad. I have already bought four large notes.1917 series one dollar note and the two dollar note looking for the Wood chopper note. I bought two 1923 series one dollar notes the red and blue seals. These notes are not graded but they are in really Great shape. I bought a 5,10, and 20 dollar small size 1950B series unc. notes looking for the 50 and 100 to finish the set and 6 pieces of fractional currency. See I told you it was Bad. Oh and I collect coins to I know how much you LOVE that!!! LOL. I Love the art work and history on so many of these notes thats why I LOVE watching your videos. Thank You for your time and effort that you put into making these videos. They are PRICELESS!!!
@ OK - you are well on your way. Cool that you're completing the 1950 series - any particular Federal Reserve?
@ Richmond VA. Series.
I hope to finish the set next weekend at a coin and currency show Im going to in Charlotte NC. I went last year and it was Awesome. Its the 55th annual coin club show. So if there is anything you are looking for I will be glad to get the info on the dealers for you that are there and hook you up.
@ Have a great time and am in purchasing holding period right now - saving...
Wow, very cool! Loved the brick and the GSA Morgan, among others! Your description of me and my channel is far too kind and generous, but I have sure appreciate you, and have enjoyed getting to know you thru youtube! I hope to be able to start posting again "soon" 😅. Keep up with the great videos. P.S. sorry about the vikings
Thanks Joe - we do need to catch up and yeah...the Vikings...
FYI. Coming Soon
100 Greatest World Paper Currency, 1st Edition (Summer 2025)
100 Greatest United States Paper Currency, 2nd Edition (Fall 2025)
WOW! World! Now that couldn't have been easy to put that list together. And US Part II? That one I have to say "huh". Wonder if they want to add any current/modern designs?! LOL! Great information.
@ the last edition is hard to come by, so I imagine re-releasing some of their books will help to address demand. I am looking for don Kelly’s 6th edition national bank notes, the spiral bound black cover…currently not available anywhere, let alone at a reasonable price below 75 bucks
Hey Dan send that GSA in and get it graded he gives away 64+ GSA. 😂
It's possible! Thanks George - how you are OK with your "closed circuit" that wasn't so closed! And thanks for being a member! I had no clue. I'm bad at tracking those things!
Great video, Dan. Where’s Joe been?
Thanks and he's a busy guy with a young family!
