About Jhon E. Cash

Like most people who collect currency, I started out collecting coins in 1958 as a young kid in downtown Ft. Worth, Texas. I was raised in the Major Ripley Arnold Projects downtown and worked the streets and bars after school shinning shoes for a quarter and selling papers for a nickel. When business was slow, I would visit an old coin shop downtown in the old Flat Iron building. I spent a lot of time in there learning about coins from a very nice old gentleman. He would sell me Indian Head pennies for a nickel. He wanted a whopping $69.00 for an uncirculated 1909-S VDB penny. I couldn’t believe it. I went about for years looking at all my pocket change for that proverbial “Holy Grail” 1909-S VDB penny. I must admit, I never found one. But from that point on, I was hooked for life on collecting. Throughout my years, I’ve always enjoyed collecting things, autographed photos, neon signs, coins, cigarette lighters, Lake Houses and now US Currency. The first currency note I ever bought was an 1869 $50 Rainbow in VF condition.

I consider myself a very studious, knowledgeable and avid collector/investor of United States Currency. Some investors put their money in art, coins, real estate, gold and other valuable collectibles. I chose US currency because of the beauty and history behind every currency note that tells a unique and interesting story of our nations past. I am a trivia history buff by nature.

Over the years I have acquired quite an extensive collection of over 2,500 selected small size and large size US Currency notes. Some of them are quite unique and rare; and some are of the more common types as well. Most of my collection has come from some very helpful and knowledgeable currency dealers and collectors whom I have become very close friends with over the years. I attend almost all of the major currency shows and auctions across the United States and have bought notes from and resold to just about every major dealer in the market.

Having sold my last company in March of 2003, my wife Tonya decided that I needed something to do to “get out of the house”. While looking through some of my collection of notes, I decided to start selling off some of my duplicates and other notes that I no longer had any interest in and to continue purchasing notes that intrigued me. I love ‘STAR NOTES” and Large Size Fancy serial numbers. I keep the official census for the currency market for all $500 and $1000 star notes as well as the census of all 1929 Federal Reserve Bank Note Stars, commonly known as Brown Seals. I will be publishing my second edition of both of the censuses very soon.

I decided to create a currency web site like no other one available anywhere on the Internet. Mostly for collectors and dealers alike to view some of my notes in my collection. I have helped many collectors and investors assemble some very nice and rare collections over the years. If you see something you like, let me know. I am willing to sell some of them or trade for notes you may have that I like. My interest varies. I mostly like star notes and Large Size fancy serial numbers. I currently have one of the most extensive star collections ever assembled. I am the first person to ever assemble a complete district set of 1934 $1,000 stars. I also have one of the largest and finest collections of Large Size fancy serial numbers.

I am 53 years old and have been married to my beautiful wife Tonya for 14 years. We have 3 children, Twins Madelyn and Nathan are almost 3 years old and my main man Jonathan is almost 8 years old. I am a lifetime member of the ANA and a lifetime member of the SPMC. (Society of Paper Money Collectors.) Enjoy the web site.

P.S. “Jhon E Cash” is a nickname I acquired about 25 years ago when I carried cash to pay for everything that I bought. How times have changed. And before you ask, no I don’t wear black and I can’t sing a lick.
