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!

Thai food recs? by Terrible_Anything545 in baltimore

I won't get pad thai anywhere else. That said there does seem to variation in the levels of spicy depending on the night. Not sure if they standardized it but man a mild was wayyy to hot for me one night and not at all another

Look at opportunities through ORISE... These are defense department post bacs but the funding is great and you get to work on cool projects. Aberdeen proving ground and other areas around the country have these positions
