Buy Historic U.S. Notes
Adding rare, historic paper currency to your overall holdings
can be an important way to diversify your portfolio. Rare
paper currency from the 1800s is even scarcer than coins
from the same period. Why? Reasons include the frail nature
of paper, the government burning of older currency and people's
natural tendency to save gold over paper money.

An Explosive Growth Investment
The United States Postal Inspection Service released a report advising consumers about investing in paper currency. Here are a few excerpts from A Consumer's Guide To Investing and Collecting U.S. Currency:
U.S. RARE CURRENCY HAS BECOME AN EXPLOSIVE GROWTH INVESTMENT
Since the sale of the famous Grinnell collection in the mid-1940s, what was once a neglected hobby has turned into a major and serious form of investment. Over the past 43 years, select U.S. currency portfolios have soared to 50 times their original value as compared to the Dow Jones Industrial['s] 19.5 times. From 1991 alone, a number of independent sources substantiate an explosion in rare American paper currency prices.
The reason behind these continuing price movements is simply the law of Supply and Demand. Currently, demand is far outstripping supply. The actual rarity of this asset is difficult to imagine-only a limited number of specimens have survived to this day. In addition, many of the 40 million U.S. investors in Tangible Assets are just starting to investigate the rewards of rare American paper money. This escalation in demand coupled with a fixed supply has been a defining factor forcing prices upward.
Despite several independent [indices] verifying the tremendous appreciation of U.S. Currency, decades of past growth can not guarantee future results. Even though rare notes are limited in supply, and demand is substantially increasing, not all currencies have appreciated at the same rate. No representation can be made that today's investor's portfolio will achieve similar results.
[The] purpose of this booklet, AN INTRODUCTION TO INVESTING AND COLLECTING U.S. PAPER MONEY is to give the beginning investor or collector a comprehensive guide to enter this exciting market. Aside from their historical significance and artistic beauty, rare American currency is also being used by many for wealth building and portfolio risk management. Regardless of one's primary intent, both groups acknowledge these notes as a link to their past and an endowment for their family's future.
About Paper Currency
According to the International Bank Note Society (IBNS), there are two basic requirements for paper money: fixed denomination and payment to the holder. IBNS also says that payment on sight would be another requirement today although not for many past issues of currency. Certain emergency-issued pieces of papers would not have passed this last requirement, but nonetheless functioned as paper currency.
For any currency to be valid and function in a society, it must hold the trust of the people. The person receiving the note must trust the issuer, or else the note will not be accepted. As IBNS states, "Paper money circulation is, was, and has always been, a circulation of trust."
