Due to the large volume of e-mail questions coming to me, I have been unable to answer them all. I hope this page will help you get answers to all of your questions. These are the same answers I have been giving people via e-mail for a number of years.
How much is my United States currency worth?
Unfortunately I don't know the answer to your question (I don't collect U.S. currency and don't have any U.S. paper money books.) One of the best sources of information I've found on the internet regarding U.S. currency is Glen Johnson, Rare United States Currency. http://www.uspapermoney.com/
How much is my United States ERROR currency worth?
Unfortunately I don't know the answer to your question. Capital Currency, Inc. has the best web site I've found regarding U.S. error notes. http://www.capcurr.com/main.html
Where can I see pictures of banknotes on the internet?
Ron Wise's World Paper Money Home Page has the largest collection of currency images on the internet. I don't put many images on my site because Ron Wise has already put together the best collection out there. Incredible depth of 4,000+ full color images totaling over 160MB! Visit Ron's massive image collection at http://aes.iupui.edu/rwise/
How much is a 1920's German tens of thousands or millions of Marks note worth (Reichsbanknote)?
As a general reference, according to the Sixth edition of "The Standard Catalog of World Paper Money", the German 100,000 Mark note from 1923 is worth between 15 cents to $1. Interestingly enough, inflation was so high in Germany at this time that in 1923 there was even a 100 trillion Mark issued. Many of the German notes from this era were printed in very high quantities so most of them aren't worth much today. I have several in my collection of varying denominations that I bought for less than $.50 each. Please check with a dealer on my links list who is up on current prices for a better answer.
Who is on the United States $500, $1,000, etc?
$1---George Washington, $2---Thomas Jefferson, $5---Abraham Lincoln, $10---Alexander Hamilton, $20---Andrew Jackson, $50---Ulysses S. Grant, $100---Benjamin Franklin, $500---William McKinley, $1,000---Grover Cleveland, $5,000---James Madison, $10,000---Salmon P. Chase, $100,000---Woodrow Wilson
I have a Japanese Dollar, Peso, Rupee, Gulden, etc. What is it and how much is it worth?
These are JIMs, Japanese Invasion Money. They are from WWII, printed by Japan for areas they occupied during the war. Most of them are very common and not worth much. Please check with one of the dealers on my links list who is up on current pricing for a better answer.
How can I sell a banknote or collection that I have?
I think the easiest and best way is on an auction site such as eBay. You can sell your item(s) direct to the consumer. This should work well for the more common notes, however, I would recommend you consult a qualified dealer if you suspect you have any rare or unusual notes. You can check with some of the dealers on my links list.
I have another question that you haven't answered here. Where else can I check?
The Paper Money Collecting FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) is the best source I've found online. There is a huge group of questions and answers posted there. One of my favorite places to go when I have a question on world paper money. Visit the FAQ at http://www.members.home.net/giese1/pfaq.html
