Cool collecting theme Pooper Trooper, are you aware of the space related paper money that is out there?

Mainly I collect ancient coins and paper money from my hometown, and other odds and ends here and there

I have some of my ancient collection up here:

I just bought this for myself because that's the greatest portrait I've ever seen on a coin and he looks so pissed off in his full armor, bad rear end!

WHAT SPACE THEMED PAPER MONEY? I've got some stamps but I figured that was about it. How about some recommendations?

Check out Paper Money>World on ebay and search term space, quite a few different ones, there's a polymer one with planets that I'm not seeing there but I can't remember the country, will flip through the world currency catalog and see if I can find it


*edit*

figured it out

the milk spotting is something to do with the alloy is my understanding and even on a slabbed piece they can show up later, it's really annoying

I sold a 96 ASE yesterday and the guy asked me if it had milk spots and I originally thought it didn't but then I saw a couple and told him and he said that's ok they pretty much all do

:-S
