Hi, I’m Lucie Sweeny, and I’m thrilled to share my passion for currency with you.
My fascination with money began years ago, not with its spending power, but with the stories, history, and artistry each note and coin carries. What started as a small curiosity has grown into a lifelong journey of discovery—exploring how design, printing, and economic events shape the currencies we use and collect.
Along the way, I’ve connected with fellow collectors, dealers, and experts, learning from every conversation and every rare piece I’ve held in my hands. This blog is my way of giving back to the community that has inspired me so much.
Here’s what you’ll find here:
-
Deep dives into rare and fascinating notes – uncover the history, design details, and market insights behind special finds.
-
Practical tools and guides – including resources to help you check rarity, estimated values, and learn how to spot what makes a bill unique.
-
Stories that inspire – whether you’re just starting or have been collecting for years, I’ll share insights that help you see currency in a whole new light.
I believe collecting is more than a hobby—it’s about preserving history and appreciating the artistry that often goes unnoticed in everyday life. Together, let’s explore, learn, and celebrate the hidden world of currency collecting.
