2. "I FOUND A..." QUESTIONS

  Paper money has both a market value and a personal value.  These
two things are very different.  There are big time dealers who
keep a note from circulation just because it has an interesting
serial number or for other sentimental reasons.  Don't let "market"
forces blur the real meaning of being a collector.
