Hello all!
I am from Texas USA. I am an avid postcard collector, just now trying this new thing- exchanging banknotes! For my collection and keeping purposes, I like old banknotes, that show they have been well-used, or have writing or stamp marks on them. I think all you experts prefer "crisp new" banknotes, so I will be happy to receive the old, worn and torn ones! Send me your worst! :-)
What else do I need to know about swapping here? I will say in the beginning I only had some clean fresh US $1 notes, but quickly realized I need to send unique sets- not duplicate bills of the same type. So I purchased on ebay some mixed lot of foreign bills to participate with you all here. But now I wonder why to trade them if we can just buy them so easily? Are we here also to make friends? Please tell me in an e-message your own reasons.
Personally, I prefer handwritten postcards (not in an envelope) and to see the handwriting and stamps from other countries. If you want a direct swap, I will be happy to send you $1 one US dollar in exchange for a postcard. (If that is not a fair exchange for you just tell me because I don't know! Maybe it cost you more than $1 to send me a postcard, so maybe you want $2? Just tell me your ideas.)
Happy swapping everyone!
Barbi
