Why Collect Currency?

People started systematically collecting paper and plastic bank notes quite recently. Although collecting of paper money was going on for a long time, but that was done only on a very small scale. Only in late 1950's paper money collecting became more of a global phenomenon. By 1920's paper money began to be issued by significantly more countries around the world and in early 1960's practically the whole world was using paper money for buy or sell transactions between people, businesses etc. As a result more and more people started collecting paper money as beautiful collectible items, for an investment or both. These days collecting world notes is growing very strong and very fast. There are millions of paper money collectors all over the world and every year new ones join in. Knowledge abounds with a multitude of general and specialized catalogues covering notes of all modern and no longer existing countries.Prices and value of collectible paper money grows steadily and better notes now bring much higher prices than before making an idea of investing in banknotes as well as collecting attractive.Various countries of the world have their own words for "paper money".
