superbeast1098 Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Does anyone have any of their banknotes in picture frames around the house as decoration? At least someone other than me, that is.......... lol..... KFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 No banknotes. I have some sets of coins in frames that I got many years ago. There are about 6 IHCs, some Liberty Nickels and some Buffalo nickels. Always wanted one of those silver sets with the silver certificate and such.

superbeast1098 Posted February 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 THat would be pretty cool to have.... KFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abish Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Right now, it is just small US notes won from my best friend and my older brother on sports bets. There's a frame for each, with dates, teams, and scores written next to each. It's mostly for gloating purposes, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abish Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Forgot... I do have a 10 euro note in under a picture from my trip to Europe... Cool idea, though. I may have more now that you've got me thinking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 For the last 10 years there has been Tsarist Russia 500 Ruble from 1912 in a frame in my bathroom. So Petr I and a Russian lady have a peep show everyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Sisu Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 I have a set of 8 uncut US $1 notes that I purchased from the BEP that I have been wanting to frame for some time. The reason that I have yet to frame it is: I am trying to devise a workable and stylish way to frame and mount it such that both sides can be viewed.

jtryka Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 I have a number of framed stock certificates and bonds on the wall of my office, the only currency I have is a collage of cut up large denomination notes that I made from color copies of notes from the BEP website.

superbeast1098 Posted February 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Thats not a bad idea..... Make copies of a note, then frame it, that way the original doesnt get destroyed.... KFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtryka Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Just be careful how you do it as there are laws about how to legally copy currency (and the Feds get REALLY peeved when you just start making color copies of notes willy nilly). The collage I did was with color images of large denomination notes from the BEP website which all stated "Copy" on them, which for my purposes didn't matter since I cut them all into small random peices and then glued them onto an 8.5x11 piece of card stock mounted between two pieces of glass. I think the eagle from the back of a series 1918 $1000 note is at the center of the collage. I got the images here: http://www.moneyfactory.gov/section.cfm/5/42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Lee Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 I have an uncut sheet of 32 $2 bills I bought from the BEP framed and hung in the hobby room. I had benn eyeing a couple on eBay and found buying direct was SO much cheaper. Interesting how some people that come over ask if they're real.

Ray Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 I have a poster from the Pt. Towndsand Wooden Boat Festival that I made a frame for. I embedded a Greek Drachma with a ship on it in each corner. Also have a few llama coins for my wife that I will frame someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burks Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 There's a few notes I've always wanted to hang on my wall. Problem is, I couldn't decide which side I wanted to show off! My grandpa has an uncut sheet of $2 bills, framed, hanging in his office. Been there for probably 10-15 years and hasn't faded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superbeast1098 Posted February 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Thats why I bought the clear frame that you see in the first post..... That way, I can turn it around and display the other side. One thing I do like about that frame is that the notes cling to it, and the stay in place, so I dont have to worry about gluing them.....

The reason that I have yet to frame it is: I am trying to devise a workable and stylish way to frame and mount it such that both sides can be viewed. Has anyone ever found something to resolve this? One day after I have my coins in order I will tackle this. I am thinking of some type of hinged frame that can be moved 90 degrees from the wall and then the content can be spun freely (360) within that frame.

Dave Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 I found these with a Google Search: http://www.coastalwebpages.com/vactech/main.htm http://www.alibaba.com/catalog/11236376/Wo...Menu_Frame.html there could be something similar with banknotes, I am sure.

pauldean89445 Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 This past Christmas, i framed up to twelve notes in each frame, for four different friends. They loved it! I didn't pay any particular attention to countries or denominations, but more on just making it colorful and interesting, and tried to include a note from each continent. They make great gifts, especially for someone with a home bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superbeast1098 Posted February 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 That would make it interesting to hang up in a small buisness.... lol..... Just like when people frame the first dollar they ever made, and hang it up near the cash registers, only do it with foreign currency..... It would make for interesting conversations....

They do make for interesting conversation! I have been to a few places that have them displayed in different manners. There's a burrito joint here that has Central American notes plastered onto their tables and we always comment on them whenever we're there. I was in Juneau, AK last summer and there was a tourist shop that had a lot of foreign notes from their customers. It was fun to compare them to what I had in my collection. My wife also informs me that there is a restaurant near her office that has a support beam with notes stuck all over it. I haven't been there, 'cuz they only serve girl food - Beansprouts and mayonaise - - Gimme the burrito anytime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Sisu Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 I have been to many places where world notes are displayed. I think it is really neat. One place was such that patrons could tack up there own note on the wall. Places with coins are a bit more rare, but one of my favorite pubs/restaurants in Tallinn has a nice display of coins. This is a huge barrel on end (about 4-5ft) that serves as a bar table. There are 4 of these in the bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
