i'm taking a break from buying these days but i still have a collectors mentality so to satisfy the collecting urge i have started to save and collect all my one dollar bills , i started when the shut down happened in March and i have about $800 in ones so far , i actually like it when i buy something and it cost $5.33 cause i give them a ten and get four ones back !! then i have to fold all the corners out and flatten them out under books and a barbell, it's actually a fun hobby ! i have gotten a couple "where's George" dollar bills and looked up where they came from (both from cities nearby) every day i rearrange my stack and flatten them out some more ,one would be surprised at how many $1 bills have numbers or writing on them....
i cull my real badly worn, taped or torn bills and spend those....
i'm thinking of sorting them into Federal reserve series (A thru H..)
it's a decent hobby with a lot of the aspects of other collectibles, i think about it just like i did when i was collecting a run of comics, and the best thing is that while my hobby/collection will not increase in value it will hold it's value and has nearly instantly liquidity when it comes time to sell my collection !!!!!!
