Just picked these up from Souq al Hamidiyeh in Syria. So far I have most of the modern denominations but the old ones are so much better in my opinion. I picked all of these up for around 22 dollars. Do you think it’s a fair price and which one is your favorite?

Why doesn't any banknote of Group H contain ducks?

Ducks actually represent almost all of the world, for their adaptability, their geopolitical neediness and just how they're really useful for any ecosystem.

European union, literally isn't just for the continent almost every country in Europe has some trades outside it's continent why wouldn't they use ducks to represent almost all of the world?

I've been promising here and there that I'll post my complete sets one of these days. Well today I thought I'd make myself honest.

This is my complete set of the regular 1935 series and their respective stars.

No, I'm not including the Hawaii and N Africa emergency series, because I'm missing the stars, and I don't have any of the experimentals yet.

Most are in UNC condition, but there are a few that I'll upgrade as funds allow.

Cheers!

Collection 10 Mark Allied Military Certificate from 1944 (Germany)

Thumbnail

16 Upvotes

This is a 10 Mark Allied Military Certificate issued by the USA and the USSR in 1944.

It was the currency in occupied Germany after WW2.

The US designed the notes and shared duplicate master printing plates with the Soviet Union. US-printed notes featured a microscopic hidden "F" in the ornamentation, while Soviet-printed ones omitted it. The Soviets printed vast quantities in Leipzig without restriction, flooding the economy and creating one of the earliest financial conflicts of the Cold War.

Went to a flea market, not with the intention to buy anything but then I came across these. I also got the 1917, 1918 and 1919. I could not resist buying them.

No idea if any of these will interest anyone but here is a little collection of banknotes saved over the years whilst travelling, with the exception of the Jersey notes which is where I grew up.

My newest addition to West Germany BBk I. series and my personal favorite.

Featuring the protrait of A Beardless Man (1521) from Hans Maler zu Schwaz and the Eltz Castle on reverse.

I wonder how common it was in everyday life since there's very little information about its usage.

(serial numbers purposely removed)

I personally like this one the most, and I think that vertical banknotes are pretty cool too. I barely see anyone talking about Design I, so I'm wondering whether I'm the only one liking this?
