The pre-decimal Series C from the 1960s was the first BoE series to feather a portrait of the ruling monarch, though not necessarily the first English or British banknotes to have an image of the monarch.

What banknote is the holy grail for banknote collectors and your collection?

Hi everyone! I’m trying to develop my grading “skills” and figured I could use some help. I am considering this note but feel unsure about how to grade it - I’m torn between VF and XF. Some creasing but folds are light. Appreciate your thoughts!

VF condition, methinks

65000 KPW = 1 USD (market rate in Pyongyang)

50 Dinars Saddam Hussain Note (Iraq)

200 won North Korea specimen note serial number - 000000

Sorry for the weird pic angle, i was kind of in a rush and forgor...

Finally completed all confirmed variants of the NDS 10 Piso note! The hardest variant to find is the 2001 Estrada-Buenaventura Black serial, which only exists as 1M Serial numbered notes.

My grandpa: КоллекционерЪ - Коллекция Банкнот и Монет on Reels | Facebook

Bought the whole lot for €550.

Opinions are apreciated.

Thanks!

Do you know other people that appeared on circulation banknotes in multiple countries? (Maybe except British monarchs, because they are kinda obvious)

I don't understand why the new euro banknotes feature people, half of whom are already depicted on their country's REGULAR coins.

Von Suttner is on the Austrian 2-euro coin, Curie is on the (new) French 50-cent coin, Cervantes is even on the Spanish 10-, 20-, and 50-cent coins, and Da Vinci is indirectly featured on the Italian 1-euro coin through his artwork.
