How many collectors are there (here)?

[Bur Oak]

I am curious, how many collectors here have Confederate currency in their possession? Do you...

a) currently have a collection and either continue to add to it, or at least would like to do so at some point?
b) have a collection which you consider complete, or is as complete as it's going to get?
c) own one or more notes, but don't plan on expanding the collection?
d) have a definite interest in acquiring some Confederate currency, but not right now for some reason?

And for those who don't have any currency in their possession, do you...

e) like the idea, but are too intimidated by the prospect, knowing that fakes and contemporaneous counterfeits are common?
f) not give the South end of a Northbound rat about currency?

b) I bought a bunch of notes that were reasonable in cost, and, in my mind, make up a good sampling of notes. I am not interested in chasing harder to find examples that will cost more money. I'm not sure I would even describe myself as a collector, I just wanted an interesting display and to learn a few things along the way.

If I had one piece of Confederate currency, doesn't even have to be an expensive example, then I would be happy. In my mind I can take one example and extrapolate a whole story of the Confederate economy during the war. From rich to poor. Just one piece of history in your hand, at least for me, is enough to connect me to that time. That being said, I still haven't purchased one.

Inclined to select (b) decent assortment, but pricing on the missing items get very costly quickly. Never say never
