Santa Claus notes, a $500 banknote, and the Polar Bear note that helped spark my interest in obsolete currency. In this video, I’m sharing ten standout notes from our collection and what makes each one worth a closer look.

We explore the engraving, color, history, and personal stories behind these pieces, including a Fitchburg $3 with a handwritten Civil War farewell, colorful banknote proofs, and my favorite—the Continental Bank $3 Polar Bear note.

Some earned their place through rarity or historical significance. Others are here because I simply love the design. We get close enough to appreciate the small details that make collecting this kind of paper money so interesting.

There are also three bonus pieces at the end, including uncut sheets.
Which note would earn a spot in your collection? I’d love to hear your favorite in the comments.
