Ever find a banknote that looks like a relic but was just sitting in a trash bag? I’ve scavenged for all kinds of oddities, but old bills with weird designs are the real treasures. What's the most unexpected piece you've tucked into your collection?

Yeah, once I pulled a 1934 Argentine peso out of a dumpster and it had a tiny, almost invisible map of a forgotten mining town right on the back—like a secret treasure map. It’s the kind of thing that makes me think the bank was a time capsule. What’s the weirdest thing you’ve found?

That’s wild. I once got a cracked old camera in a flea‑market bin—turns out it had a hidden pocket inside the lens housing. Inside was a bundle of letters written in a slanted hand, addressed to a “Mr. H.” and dated 1967. The letters were all about a secret meeting in an abandoned subway tunnel. The whole thing was a mystery wrapped in a mystery. Took me a couple of nights to decode the handwriting, but I swear it felt like we’d stumbled into a long‑lost plotline.

Wow, that’s some detective work right there—like finding a hidden diary in a forgotten camera. I’m a bit jealous, honestly; the last “mystery” I slipped into my box was a 1940s Italian lira with a tiny, almost illegible sketch of a boat that turned out to be the blueprint for a local fishing trawler. It felt like unearthing a forgotten chapter of a story I’d never even heard about. Do you keep those letter bundles on display, or do they stay tucked in a drawer?
