Dr. Frederick J. Bart is a recognized authority on U.S. paper money errors, with decades of experience collecting, researching, and writing on the subject. He has been featured on CNN, NBC, FOX, the History Channel, and in USA Today and the Robb Report for his insights into currency anomalies and collecting. Bart specializes in serial number one national banknotes and $100 large-size type notes, and is a longtime member of the Professional Numismatists Guild, American Numismatic Association, and Professional Currency Dealers Association. He is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in numismatics today.

Guided by her father's path but forging her own, Bianca B. Bart developed a passion for numismatics at a young age. Fascinated by the unusual, she holds a deep appreciation for errors--and an even deeper interest in uncovering how they occurred. Working alongside her father and later interning at a top-tier grading firm, she quickly rose in the field. Within a few years, she earned full membership in the prestigious Professional Numismatists Guild, becoming its third-youngest inductee. In 2023, she became CEO of Executive Currency and continues to drive innovation in the industry while honoring its legacy. Coin World has recognized her as one of the most influential people in numismatics.
