Question
Is there any way that I can get copy (Samples) of old American banknotes that I am interested in but cant find them.

Answer
Hello Dallas,

How old of a note are you looking for?
Are you referring to United States currency?
I find many old notes in low grade are rather inexpensive. Even the large size notes prior to 1928.

I have seen colonial paper money reproduced for sale at museums and other Gift Shops. I also get full color pictures of them in auction catalogs purchased after the auctions over. And finally look in books describing the notes and their engravers in detail from the library.

I hope this information helps. Remember only the rare issues and grades of fine and better should be un-affordable.

Please remember to rate this answer and mark your questions to me as private.

Good Luck
