I don't think anybody else on here is into collecting paper money, but I stumbled on a few of these I "own" (safekeeping for my father, according to my mother- my house is air conditioned, theirs is not).
I thought of posting them on here when I noticed these three were from Desoto, Nebraska, and also since frank seems to be interested in things of Nebraska nature, I figured he might enjoy these.

I have no idea where he got these from. I've got a few more I might post if there is any interest in seeing them as well. I've always been a coin guy, and never paid much attention to paper money. I've no idea of their value, if any, but mostly enjoy them because I think they're quite beautiful. I always thought after looking at these that our modern paper money's aesthetics leave something to be desired. The detail on these is quite intricate. If you open the images in a new tab, they blow up a little bigger than what they are on here.

I have a few paper notes, mostly modern(ish). Afghanistan from before the revaluation, Eastern Europe, North Korea, Pakistan, Iraq. They are places I have worked in but none of the notes have any value. I am considering making a glass top coffee table with them in.

Actually, that is a really good idea. I've thought about hanging similar stuff on a wall, but a coffee table or something else that displays flat would be quite different. I wonder how you'd fix them so they stay where they belong? Just with the glass sitting on them, I think they'd tend to wander.
