The Currency Roundtable came about because we, as Paper Currency YouTubers, wanted to promote more quality content about paper currency on YouTube. We also thought it would be fun to talk and just have a conversation with each other. This panel is a follow up to our first video answering questions and comments.

The Currency Roundtable has put together a recommendation for an Attainable U.S. Currency Type Set list. The link to the list is below and is a Google Sheets document that is read only. The list also includes Small Size U.S. and Fractional banknotes. The Roundtable discusses what aspects should or should not or could or could not be part of the list. This includes different Treasury Seals, overprints, minor plate changes or different reverses. There are times when we agree to disagree and move on. The Large Size list uses a max price of $3,000 which is a lot of money but most of the notes are valued from $200 - $1,000 because of the grades being used, which are lower VG 8. The list hopefully provides a good starting point.

This wraps up the first year of the Currency Roundtable with episode #12. Can't believe we've been able to knock out 12! Many thanks to the panelist who have donated their time and knowledge to promote the hobby of paper money collecting. In this episode we answer questions that were submitted to us via comments on promos we did on our channels. There are some great questions and answers but we did get stumped a few times. We didn't get through all the questions but part 2 is coming in later January!

Currency Roundtable #13 is Part II of Q & A with the Roundtable. Many thanks to the panelist who have donated their time and knowledge to promote the hobby of paper money collecting. In this episode we answer more questions that were submitted to us via comments on promos we did on our channels. There are some great questions and answers but we did get stumped a few times.

Currency Roundtable #14 dives into the “mistakes” we have made while collecting paper money. We answer two questions: 1) Knowing what you know now what would you change about your currency collection? And 2) What was your biggest collecting mistake? Many thanks to the panelist who have donated their time and knowledge to promote the hobby of paper money collecting.

The Currency Roundtable Panel goes into what we individually collect and why for video #15. Before that we start out responding to a viewer question about how does EPQ/PPQ (Exceptional Paper Quality for PMG and Premium Paper Quality for PCGS Bank Note) affect the market prices and if we think it’s important to collect EPQ/PPQ. At the end we have a short discussion on what U.S. Large Size National Bank Notes should be called. Within the “Nationals” collector community there is a movement to “correct” a wrong regarding using the term First, Second and Third Charter Period terms.

Where Can You Buy Paper Money? Currency Roundtable #3 dives into the top places that we all use to purchase currency. Local Coin Shops, Pawn Shops, Flea Markets, Online Web Dealers, Social Media Sites, Auction Houses and of course eBay. Find out why each of us does or does not purchase currency from these sellers and a few pros and cons about all of them. Four opinions from basically people who are currency collectors.

The Currency Roundtable came about because we, as Paper Currency YouTubers, wanted to promote more quality content about paper currency on YouTube. We also thought it would be fun to talk and just have a conversation with each other.

In this video we talk about eBay from the perspective of a paper currency collector. Why and how we use eBay to buy and sell. We spend most of the video talking about purchasing banknotes because that is what we do.

The 5th Roundtable answers this question: What large size notes would you recommend to a new paper money collector? There’s not an easy answer because price always comes into play. To account for multiple budgets we all of the notes can be purchased in a low, medium and high range. Low $100-$300, Medium $300-$700 and High over $700. These are notes that we all feel that every collector should have in their collection no matter the price or condition. They are all classic large size notes that come with a story.
