Much of the really interesting US paper money is now very expensive. The very striking notes of the 1800s and early 1900s are now out of the price range of most casual collectors. Some people collect travelers' checks, and stocks and bonds, which might not be considered as paper money. Souvenir Cards (printed by people like ABNC) are a good way to see the beauty of currency.

There is an interesting fractional currency which is much sought after by collectors. These are private banknotes from the 1800s. Before the US government created a national banknote there were some banks issuing their own money without government backing. However, it was not long before these banks were closed down and the banknotes were counterfeited and altered.

Historically the U.S. Treasury has issued many different types of notes. These notes bear numbers and seals in a variety of different colors that are distinctive to the type of note. The most common note in circulation today, and the one that we are used to seeing, is the Federal Reserve note bearing a green seal and numbers. Following is a listing of the note types and seal colors:
Silver Certificates---blue seal
United States Notes---red seal
National Bank Notes---brown seal
Gold Certificates---yellow/orange seal

Probably the best way to start collecting paper money is to subscribe to Bank Note Reporter. It's a sort of monthly newspaper for paper money collectors and not only does it carry all the latest news about new issues, currency changes, etc., it also has advertising from a very large number of dealers and it lists paper money shows in the US and around the world. BNR offers free samples to anyone (not just in the USA). Subscriptions run about 30 dollars for 1 year (around 40 dollars outside the US). It's a very good source of information.
