I would like to propose a change in design for the reverse of the One Dollar Note. I would like to remove the large "One" from the reverse of the One and replace it with a four element change. 1. An astronaut saluting the flag. 2. The U.S. Flag used in the solar wind project on the moon. 3. Lunar Landing Module on the moon. 4. Earh rise as seen from the moon. Also the incorporation of the "In Good We Trust" as mandated by law into the design at the discretion of the engravers.  To end of this idea I have contacted a former House member of the NASA Space Committee in Congress and he thinks this is a good idea and offered to help me get in touch with Brian Babin (R-TX) who is now Chairman of the NASA Space Committee and let me pitch my idea to him.  Also he has offered to help get the necessary paperwork to the CRS office which helps write bills for introduction into Congress. 

I was trying to get my collection out of the shoe boxes filing system.  First I should explain my collection is a lot of Federal Reserve notes and I collect by block and series and drifted back into Silver certificates with the same bent.  I wanted a way to mount on a page of pockets to show more than the usual 3-4 notes on a single sheet. I tried artist portfolio cases and that was a bust.  So I contacted a plastic manufacturer and he said "sure" all I had to do was order 10,000 sheets and i could have my hearts desire.  Does anyone have a sugggestion? What I wanted was a page with say 12 pockets to put one each of the banks (A-L) AA blocks and then go from there - but 12 notes on a page was my goal. Any help out there? Thanks!

I was trying to find and purchase a specific note to illustrate the three notes all with the same block letter designates in Series 1935A - the Yellow Seal - Brown Seal Hawaii - and plain CC - At a coin show bourse dealer had the desired "Yellow Seal" so I asked for a look see and he took it out of the case and bingo it was exactly what I wanted.  So I asked for a price. Fatal mistake?  He took the note from its case and held it up to the light turned up and over. Then he took the note and popped it several it like the old shoe shine boys used to pop those shine rags while shining shoes. I was then shocked for him to say its a crisp uncirculated note and I could "take it off his hands" for the paltry sum of $220. I declined and was told if I decided otherwise he might not be able to match that price it was a "Popular Note."  After patrolling the aisles a little while longer I found the identical CC note in a PMG66 holder and listed at $175. I hope those kind of dealer practices go the way of the Do Do bird.   After a few minutes of discussion and and another purchase of a very common note ($2.50) I got the yellow seal for a $125.
