February 11th, 2012 — Canadian Paper Money, Coin Collecting, paper money
Canadian paper money has an interesting history. If many of us were handed an example of the first Canadian paper currency, we wouldn’t recognize its significance. That’s because the first bills issued in Canada weren’t printed bills at all because paper was an expensive and somewhat scarce commodity. In 1685, Jacques de Meulles,the intendant of the French colony in North America, needed money to pay troops. He gathered playing cards, signed them, put his seal on them, and distributed them. He made this card money legal tender and required merchants to accept them. The rarity of these cards today make them highly valuable, so they’re generally only found in museums.
Canadian paper money issued in the 1800s is unique in that different bills were issued by different provinces. The Island of Saint John (later known as Prince Edward Island), Nova Scotia, British Columbia, Newfoundland, Canada and Alberta issued separate bills. All of these monies are rarely available to collectors, including British Army Bills that were issued between 1813 and 1818 as a an emergency because of The War of 1812. They’re all highly valuable and extremely rare, though occasionally Newfoundland bills and some Alberta bills from 1936 become available. Municipal notes, like those issued beginning in 1821 in Saint John, New Brunswick, are also very rare and hard to find.
Bank notes are the most readily available collectible Canadian paper money, though certain specimens are still very difficult to find. But bank issues are the best place for beginning collectors to start, and the best way to enhance an existing collection. Proof and specimen notes do show up in auctions occasionally, but they’re very rare and command high prices. Notes with the lowest serial numbers were usually kept as souvenirs by banking insiders, making them rare and valuable today.
Notes issued during 1837 and 1838 were often distributed by merchants who were sympathetic to the Patriots, because there was a limited amount of coins in circulation. These are great for Canadian paper money collectors, especially those interested in Canada’s history. They’re readily found in online auctions in varying conditions, and while some specific examples might be rare, even these usually spring up and become available at less cost than other rare types of notes.
While they never had monetary value and weren’t technically Canadian paper money, notes issued by business colleges in the late 19th century and early 20th century were used during training. And merchant advertising notes that also had no value, but are also an interesting part of Canadian history, are highly collectible today.
Old Canadian paper money can rarely be found in anything better than fine condition, with most of the older and more scarce bills usually in much worse shape. When looking at money to purchase, certainly the condition is important, but since so much of the older currency is in less than fine condition, a collector shouldn’t pass up the opportunity to purchase even a worn but older and possibly hard to find bill.

February 4th, 2012 — Chinese Paper Money, paper money
The Chinese actually invented paper money, and the process of making it dates back to the early 9th century. Collectors are always seeking Chinese paper money due to its rich history and value, and this is a currency that is very unique. Although it is nearly impossible to find many of these notes outside of a museum, Chinese paper money is very popular and if you can get your hands on a note, you may have a treasure on your hands.
Chinese paper money was originally called “Flying Money” because it was so light, and if the owner did not hold on to it, it could easily blow away. The first notes were made from very delicate paper and they were used almost like IOUs. The owner would write down on the note what they were willing to pay for something, and the recipient could then take that to the bank to cash it. This bank draft system is very similar to our own checking system now.
Chinese paper money changed slightly when the Mongols took over. Instead of paper, the notes were then produced from silk and they were backed by a silk standard, much like the gold standard that would later be used in the Western hemisphere. This was a new idea, and in order to use the notes, the owner would have to actually deposit a set amount of silk yarn in the bank.
The silk form of Chinese paper money endured, and was used throughout the world. It has been discovered in far flung parts of the world by archeologists, but it is very rare to find any that are available to private collectors. After this period in Chinese history, the Ming Dynasty changed the currency, moving back towards paper.
The main problem they faced with this new Chinese paper money was that there was only one set denomination. This forced many to rely on coins since the notes were hard to use for smaller purchases. Due to these problems, paper money actually fell out of use and inflation rose. It wasn’t until modern times that paper money would return and become widespread.
We can thank the Chinese for our current paper money system and their innovations which are centuries old are still in use today. Collectors of Chinese paper money will typically be able to find notes for sale from other private collectors or at auctions. The advent of the internet made it easier to locate many of these notes and business is booming on online auction sites.
For those interested in collecting Chinese paper money, it is best to find notes that are in good condition. The most common are the ones from the Ming Dynasty period, but every once in awhile you can find older notes. The paper is very thin, so these notes should be treated with extreme care and sealed off from air and dust. They are an important part of monetary collectibles and should be treasured as such by collectors.

February 3rd, 2012 — Colonial Money, paper money
If you are interested in collecting paper money, Colonial money is one of the hottest tickets going right now. When the first US colonies were formed, the nation and its currency system were still in their infancy. It was decided that paper money would be used, and gradually, currency was printed and distributed for use. Today, colonial money is usually worth much more than its face value, provided that it is original and not a reproduction. Here are some tips on how to tell whether or not you have an authentic piece of colonial history.
1. Check the Signature
Colonial money was always designed to have at least one signature on the note. You may need to look carefully to determine whether or not a signature is present, but if you can’t find even one, chances are you may be dealing with a reproduction. The color of the signature should be in red ink.
2. Is it Numbered?
Colonial money was always numbered to help them keep track of how many bills were in circulation. Once again, if you are dealing with an authentic note the ink color will be red and the number will be very noticeable. Age made have faded the note slightly, but you should be able to tell that the ink was once a red color.
3. Look at the Writing
Typically, colonial money featured a handwritten signature, and some bills may have other handwriting on them as well. This is actually quite important, and is a big clue to the authenticity of the note. If the handwriting is the in the same color as the rest of the bill, there is a very high chance that you are in fact dealing with a reproduction.
4. Look for the Stamp
In most cases, reproductions that are intended merely for home use will carry a stamp that says “facsimile.” This is done to help people get a better idea of the colonial money that was used, but they are not intended to be collector items. While some reproductions may not have this stamp, the majority should.
5. Find the Watermark
Even in the height of the colonial period, when technology still was struggling, watermarks were added to bills to help determine whether or not they were authentic. You can use that same watermark to help you determine whether or not you have authentic colonial money on hand. Hold the bill up to a light source to see if you can spot the watermark. If you can’t chances are you have a reproduction.
6. Take it to an Expert
If you plan on investing in a colonial money note, it is best to have it examined by an expert to determine the authenticity of the note. They will be well versed in the different types of ink, the different plates that were used, as well as how real colonial money should look. There is no substitute for getting an expert’s opinion, especially if you will be investing in colonial money.

Collecting currency is something that people have been enjoying for a long time. It is a way that you will be able to get to know the currency for your own nation as well as the currency for other nations. These different kinds of currency allow you to be able to enjoy the different changes which have gone on throughout history. Among the most elaborate of the currencies is that of the paper currency. If you enjoy collecting this kind of currency, it is a good idea to get to know what affects the paper money price.
To understand everything which goes into paper money price, you will need to understand many of the base concepts of collecting currency. This includes getting to know the grading system itself. You should also get to know what rarity has to do with price. Additionally, you must understand that things can change to elevate or decrease the value of the paper money that you have in your collection. This will allow you to be able to get everything that you need so that you will be able to not only enjoy your collection more. You will also be able to buy and sell with confidence.
What Makes Grading
One of the most important parts of determining paper money price is to determine the grade of the item. The highest quality when it comes to grading paper money is that of the pieces which have never been touched by human hands. These mint pieces are treasured even when they are still fairly new. As money is handled or torn, it degrades in grade. The lower the grade is, the less it will be worth. Bear in mind that even though something has a poor grade it does not mean that it is worthless.
Get to Know Rarity
There are plenty of pieces which fetch a high paper money price. This is due to the fact that they are considered to be highly rare. The rarer the item is, the more that it is worth. It does not matter whether it is terrible condition. These conditions can be created because of changes in government as well as changes in the currency. Whenever you are collecting, it is always fun to look for these because they normally have a great story as well as the fact that they are a challenge to find.
Changes to Value
It is also important to remember that changes happen all the time which affect paper money price. These changes usually involve some kind of a discovery or an event. Among the discoveries can include a highly graded rare item. This will make the lower grade of the same item worth less. Additionally, there are some rare items which will become less rare whenever a cache of the currency is discovered. There can also be changes which will cause something to be rarer based on destruction or things getting lost. Knowing this will help you to get more for your collection.

Paper currency collecting is somewhat of a lost art, thanks to the incredible popularity of coin collecting. Coins are easier to find and often cost less, a major selling point for those who are looking for quantity over quality with their collection. Paper money is something that can be incredibly interesting to collect and is something you should consider for your own collection.
Take the time to give serious consideration to adding paper money to your money collections. The more that you look into this type of collecting, the more interested you may become in paper currency collection as a whole.
Rarity
The first thing that you are going to notice about many of the paper money pieces that are up for collections is that they are rare. The most popular pieces are rare because of the material the money is made out of. Paper simply does not last as long as metal does, making some of the rarest pieces of paper money incredibly hard to find. Most people find it easier to collect coins, but those who are looking for the thrill of the find will love paper money.
Care
If you are thinking about paper money know that you are going to have to be cautious and careful with your money. While most people are careful when collecting coins, they do not know how to treat paper money. You must be more careful, more precise, and seriously consider the medium of them one. You will not be able to wash paper money like coins and will not be able to store paper money like coins.
Cost
While we have covered the rarity of coins, we have yet to cover how that rarity plays into cost. Paper money is going to be more expensive to collect for two different reasons. First, the paper money simply has a higher face value than the coins. Secondly, the paper money is harder to find. Paper money collecting is more expensive that coin collecting is most cases.
Counterfeits
There are plenty of people who try to run the system by counterfeiting paper money. They create fake copies of this money and often do a fairly convincing job. Those who are untrained often have difficult spotting the real paper money from the fake paper currency. If you want to get into this type of collecting, take the time to research the obvious marks of a counterfeit bill.
Some people do not want to deal with paper money collecting. They feel as if it is too time consuming and too hard to do. Paper money can be somewhat rare, requires more delicate care, and can be expensive. If you take the time to truly think about everything that you could add to your collection, however, you will find that you are missing out on an incredible part of currency collecting. Paper money collecting can be a part of your collection and should be a part of the future of your money collecting endeavors.
