Money Making Tips

Become a Numismatic - Check out the coins or bills that are currently being collected. Get on a numismatic blog or check out Ebay to see what sells. Some coins and bills can even be traded on Listia for credits that you can use later for anything from toothpicks to gift cards.

Easy ones for beginners are:

• Silver coins - Basically any quarters, nickels or dimes before 1965 have a silver percentage. Some half dollars are the same. Check out this link for more complete information:  List of Coins with Silver Content
• Replacement bank notes or "Star Notes" - What happens when bills are ripped, torn, damaged, etc? They are replaced with star notes. Star notes are made in limited runs which make them more valuable and somewhat collectible. A star note with a low serial number is even better.
• Low Serial Numbers - Serial numbers under 1000 are somewhat collectible. Under 100 are definitely collectible. 
• Fancy Serial Numbers - Birthday, Radar, Consecutive, Ladder, Bookends, etc. There are several ways to find serial numbers that people are looking to have as a part of their collections.
