U.S. Silver Certificates are still valid forms of legal tender, however some may carry numismatic value as well. Early "Large Size" notes are particularly sought after, and depending on condition, can command high numismatic values. Later "Small Size" issues in crisp, uncirculated condition may also hold a premium over face value. However, notes that have been in circulation and are folded and/or torn will probably carry only legal-tender value.

If a banknote collector ever falls down at heel, he has a valuable nest egg in store, which he can sell at one of the specialist collectors� auctions - often at an amazing profit. Many collections however, are passed on within the family - to a son, a daughter or a grandchild. Indeed, a banknote collection makes a superb family heirloom, for besides being a thing if monetary value, and a gold-mine of interesting information, it also conveys the spirit of the compiler

Sometimes banknotes soar in value due to some historic or newsworthy event. For example, various European banknotes greatly increased in value where they were replaced with the new Euro currency. Hong Kong notes doubled or even tripled in value around the time of the Chinese take-over. Many alert collectors and investors anticipate these rises in value and realise big profits be buying up the notes before they rise in value. Remember the recent volcano in Monserrat? One month, Monserrat notes were just as desirable as any other East Caribbean State banknote. As soon as the volcano rendered the island uninhabitable, shrewd dealers and collectors world-wide bought every Monserrat note they could obtain, knowing that it was unlikely that any more would be printed.

A second big category of damage type we see on coins is fingerprints. The oils and acids present on one's hands can damage coins if left on the surface of the coin for an extended time. Initially, they can cause a fingerprint pattern toned area that is unattractive and lowers the value and grade of the coin. Left unattended, these oils and acids can eventually etch the surface of the coin making the fingerprint permanent. Even handling coins by their rims still allows the dangerous compounds onto the rims of the coins. Using a pair of soft cotton gloves when handling raw coins helps protect all three surfaces of the coins. Make sure you get a pair of thin gloves so that you can still feel the coin. Bulky work gloves make it harder to handle small items and increases the risk of dropping the coin.

South Africa minted its first gold coin called the Krugerrand in 1967. This coin has no face value but merely stands as a symbol. It is made of 1 ounce of gold and can be purchased for investment purposes. Since then other countries also minted bullion coins. Canada made the Gold Maple Leaf in 1979 and Australia made the Nugget in 1981. These two are much more popular than the South African coin because of its 24 carat purity.
