Two books by Whitman Publishing offer you a handy way to keep track of your collection—whether you collect U.S. half cents or gold coins, or everything in between; classic commemoratives or modern Proof sets; Canadian coins or U.S. currency notes.

Each of the books measures 6 by 9 inches, packing a ton of information into a convenient resource you can carry in your pocket or bag, or store in your safe deposit box.

Check List and Record Book of United States and Canadian Coins
The Check List and Record Book of United States and Canadian Coins covers all popular modern U.S. coins from 1856 to date—from Flying Eagle cents to today’s dollar coins, plus commemoratives (classic and modern), Proof sets and Uncirculated Mint sets, medals, tokens, Filipino coins issued under U.S. authority, and more—as well as Canadian coins from the 1870s to date. Popular varieties are also included. The book’s illustrations are shown at actual size. Each listing gives the date and mintmark on the coin, as well as how many were minted. A series of columns in each chart represents the grades in which coins of that type and date range are commonly found and collected.

Check List and Record Book of United States Paper Money
The Check List and Record Book of United States Paper Money, meanwhile, covers all federal paper currency series from $1 to $10,000, as well as error notes, Postage and Fractional Currency, and Encased Postage. In addition to “star” notes (notes issued to replace previously destroyed notes with the same serial number), this Check List also includes mule notes—unusual combinations of face and back plates—along with many recent discoveries not documented elsewhere. Federal series are presented first, in denomination order; other specialties are located toward the back of the book. Within each denomination, the notes are organized by Friedberg numbers so they can be located easily; updated “printages” and rarities, based on the latest research available as of press time, are included. Beside each note-number is a generous area for recording details—where and when you obtained the note, its grade, the price, and any other information you want to jot down. In addition to its Friedberg number, each note is cross-referenced to its Whitman number. Both can be used to look up your notes and study them in-depth in references such as the Whitman Encyclopedia of U.S. Paper Money.

Don’t let your coins, medals, tokens, and paper money get out of control. Keep your collections organized with these two “must-have” books—only $9.95 each.
