Buying Rare Paper Money was one of the best investments I ever made. I highly endorse it.
Tom Denly a respected member of this hobby identified 7 main areas of collecting interest in a issue of Bank Note Reporter.

A very common type of world paper collection is to collect notes from “every country”. The definition of every country can vary greatly, but this type of collection is relatively inexpensive.

One thing to keep in mind is that the quality of books on paper money is very high and they play a major role for collectors. Lots of people have dedicated their lives to researching and compiling information on paper money. It just makes sense to utilize and build on what they’ve already done.

1) large-size US type notes
2) US national bank notes (issued by local banks chartered by the US)
3) US fractional currency (notes from the 1800s of less than 1 dollar)
4) pre-US colonial currency
5a) US obsolete notes (from private banks of the 1880s)
5b) Confederate States of America notes
6) small-size US type notes (the size we’re familiar with now)
7a) recent and general world paper money
7b) older and rare world paper money
8) error notes, including printing, paper and cutting errors
9) Souvenir Cards

2004-D Wisconsin State Quarter (With an Extra Leaf)

Variety of experts disagree about the cause and long-term value of this coin, but I’ve included here because it is very findable in pocket change and worth hundreds of dollars right now.

What To Look For: There is a defect on the die that makes it appear as if there’s an extra leaf on the lower left-hand side of the ear of corn on the reverse. The leaf is very clear. Known in two varieties, the High Leaf and the Low Leaf type.

Approximate Value: $200-$300 in MS-60 or so.

1969-S Lincoln Cent With a Doubled Die Obverse
This coin is quite rare. The early specimens of this coin were confiscated by the Secret Service until the U.S. Mint admitted they were genuine. Counterfeits abound, but usually have the wrong mint mark.

What to look for: Look for clear doubling of the entire front (obverse)(”heads” side) except for the mint mark. If the mint mark is doubled, it is probably a case of strike doubling, rather than a doubled die, which isn’t worth much. (Mint marks were punched in the dies separately in 1969, after the doubled die itself had already been made.)

Approximate Value: Around $35,000 or more in EF-40 or so.

Throughout Treasury’s history, the Department has been in charge of overseeing the production of U.S. coins and currency notes for our nation. The United States Mint is responsible for producing coins and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing produces paper money. The Treasurer of the United States advises the Director of the Mint, the Director of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the Deputy Secretary and the Secretary of the Treasury on matters relating to coinage, currency and the production of other instruments by the United States.

Origin of the $ Sign – Where Did It Come From?

The origin of the “$” sign has been variously accounted for. Perhaps the most widely accepted explanation is that it is the result of the evolution of the Mexican or Spanish “P’s” for pesos, or piastres, or pieces of eight. This theory, derived from a study of old manuscripts, explains that the “S,” gradually came to be written over the “P,” developing a close equivalent to the”$” mark. It was widely used before the adoption of the United States dollar in 1785.
