Currency Roundtable: A Discussion Group From Paper Currency YouTube Channels

This video was recorded ((LIVE)) and then replaced with this recording. We received an email from a viewer that states that he's losing the passion of collecting currency. We'll address what can be done ie. change direction, new category, focus, specialize. But with a WARNING for changing categories - be careful about collecting Errors, Fancy Serial Numbers, Counterfeits, Obsoletes, Confederates, World Banknotes, Private Company “Commemoratives”. These are all niche parts of currency collecting and there isn't as much information.SPECIAL THANKS TO ALL PANEL MEMBERS: Please visit and subscribe to their channels. ‪@massabesicnumismatics‬‪@Ontario100‬‪@Stuplubakcurrency‬‪@currencyrelics2227‬‪@dustinwitty‬

The Roundtable is live for the fist time! With Special guest Dr. Wise and we're talking "What is a collector"? and do we have a problem? A lot of other topics and answering questions and comments. Welcome new panelist Big Apple!!!

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.

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.

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.YouTube Panelist: @Stuplubakcurrency @Ontario100 @massabesicgoldandsilver @polarcurrency

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!

Originally published 10/31/24 to YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@polarcurrencyThe 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.Currency Roundtable Panelist:https://www.youtube.com/@currencyrelics2227https://www.youtube.com/@Ontario100https://www.youtube.com/@Stuplubakcurrencyhttps://www.youtube.com/@polarcurrencyLink to Google Sheet Currency Roundtable Attainable U.S. Type Sethttps://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19COqcEqfuOc3uQI37cc2PdjqByRpmSKrxOk2qQDXkNs/edit?gid=1480971358#gid=1480971358

Originally published 8/28/24 to YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@polarcurrencyCurrency Roundtable #10 sits down with Tyler from Currency Relics who started his YouTube Channel for his currency collection when he was 14!!! Us "Old Guys" talk with Tyler knowing that he is a rare collector being as young as he is. But age is secondary to Tyler's banknote collection. You HAVE to see his collection - please check out his channel, link below. For such a young collector to be able to assemble the banknotes that he has is incredible. Tyler has posted a video update of his collection only ONCE a year for the past decade until recently he put out a mid-year update.Currency Roundtable Panelist:https://www.youtube.com/@currencyrelics2227https://www.youtube.com/@Ontario100https://www.youtube.com/@Stuplubakcurrencyhttps://www.youtube.com/@dustinwittyhttps://www.youtube.com/@silversurfer1986 https://www.youtube.com/@massabesicgoldandsilverhttps://www.youtube.com/@polarcurrency

Originally published 6/18/24 to YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@polarcurrencyCurrency Roundtable is saddened by the death of our friend Dennis Huff who was our guest on Roundtable #6 back in March (see link below to video). Dennis had been fighting a long time illness that finally took our friend and he will be missed. Watch to the end if you wish to read his obituary. Currency Roundtable #9 follows a path that Dennis took with multiple collections. This week we have new Panelist Dean from @massabesicgoldandsilver Dean's YouTube channel is primarily about coins, particularly Morgan Silver Dollars - but he's crossing over in a big way to paper currency and he has several videos on currency. That's right! Banknotes! He offers a great perspective as to what he is collecting. Dean is very well read already after taking the deep dive into currency. This month we talk about ideas of what to collect as far as "collections". From Small Size Legal Tender Notes to Large Size Gold Certificates and a lot in-between. It's a great conversation about the possibilities and cross-overs that can be in multiple collections that you put together.Currency Roundtable Panelist:https://www.youtube.com/@massabesicgoldandsilverhttps://www.youtube.com/@Stuplubakcurrencyhttps://www.youtube.com/@Ontario100https://www.youtube.com/@polarcurrency

Originally published 1/17/24 to YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@polarcurrencySpecial Guest and panelist Silver Surfer @silversurfer1986 joins us for the first time! Roundtable #8 conversation is all about "small size" U.S. Currency banknotes. But we cheat a little! These recommendations are our opinions of what small size notes we recommend for a new paper money collector or even a collector if you want just a few notes? All of the paper currency bank notes have a great story and history behind them.Currency Roundtable Panelist:https://www.youtube.com/@Stuplubakcurrencyhttps://www.youtube.com/@Ontario100https://www.youtube.com/@silversurfer1986https://www.youtube.com/@polarcurrency
