Why is the sale of antique banknotes so spread out? I mean it seems that the best and most of dealer and retail sales is mostly done via internet (correct)? I am in southeast Michigan and cannot find any banknote dealers. Lots of coin dealers but only a few that do notes on the side.

Do new (or early release) world government mint coins automatically go "up" in value as soon as they enter the secondary market? I am refering to new releases with low mintage quantities-like below 20,000. I am in the USA and am curious about some of the Australian, Chinese and other international coins that are new for 2013 or scheduled to be released. Thank you

Hi. I am new to this group. Can anyone tell me how to get exact mintage quantities for commemorative coins from various world governments? For example Australia. Where would i go to find out exactly how many Royal Australian Commemorative coins were minted for 2013 (or upcoming)? I went to the Royal Australia Mint website and cannot locate this information. My question pertains to any other country that issues commemorative coins. Thanks, Dan
