9,000 Sq. Ft. of National Bank Notes!

For a while now I’ve been aware of the Higgins Museum of National Bank Notes located in Okoboji, Iowa and I’ve never been there. It’s about a four hour drive away from where I live but in a direction I rarely travel. Also, not having a currency nerd buddy nearby - and I’ve punished my wife with Money Show in the last two years, I didn’t really want to go alone. Then I was talking to my brother-in-law about it at his cabin this past Fourth of July - you know where I did the intro to the what’s up is down video. He’ more than a relative - and I’m lucky to call him a brother and he actually watches Polar Currency, No one is perfect. Well, he volunteered to go! So we scheduled a trip in August and headed south. I mean how many times to you get to visit a Money Museum?

Is it called Paper Currency or Paper Money? Because it’s not paper at all. But I am a Paper Money Collector and like Paper Money Collecting as a Hobby. The Hobby is called Numismatics and if you collect you are a Numismatist. I also love History and work for a historical society and love collecting a Dollar or Dollars specifically the U.S. Dollar or is it the US Dollar? I have recently started collecting Obsolete Bank Notes or Obsolete Banknotes? Is Banknote one or two words. Today’s currency is made by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) and issued by the Federal Reserve Bank which issues Federal Reserve Notes that have a green seal and green serial numbers. At one point in time they issued large size banknotes called Federal Reserve Bank Notes. The Treasury Department used to issue Treasury Notes, Gold Certificates, Silver Certificates, and Legal Tender Notes, United States Notes and National Bank Notes. There were two sizes of U.S. currency. They were the Small Size Banknote, Small Size Bank note and the Large Size Banknote, Large Size Banknote. Before 1996 they were called Small Head Banknotes.
