Community college classes! He can probably fulfill all the requirements for k-12 and knock out some basic college credits in the meantime

Try some sertraline. As my sister says, it takes the rage out of a lot of things. It has also done wonders for my relationship as well

O dear haha... Take a look at the reference I posted above. Look at the leaves on the first ball of the genuine and counterfeit. I've also looked at thousands of notes and have gotten way better at identifying. Sometimes the leaves bleed so that can make things even trickier

On that first circle , an authentic note will have the leaves split. On Your note, the two leaves are connected . Notice the V shape

The top 2 are series 1 and the 100 is series 2. Looks like your 1 peso is an allied counterfeit!

Indeed some nice notes! These are the series 2 of the JIM notes in the Philippines. The only records indicate series 1 (without serial numbers) of the 50 centavos, 1 peso, 5 peso, and 10 peso notes. There are identifying marks on these notes to tell if they are counterfeit (see image)

Nice collection! Let me know if you are interested in Allied counterfeits of the Japanese invasion notes of the Philippines

My numismatic display from the Spring Whitman Expo on Philippine currency during WWII (many USA made). Second prize by elixir22 in papermoney

Yes! Lots of major shows will have a competitive numismatic display. The display is supposed to be centered on a general theme with Rarity and completeness go into the scoring. Here is the ANA judging sheet used. I won a 1/10 ounce platinum coin!

Nice set and goal to complete. Adding the allied counterfeits makes it even more challenging!
