These notes bear the name of the Black Sheep Company of Wales Limited.I have got a 5 Shillings & a 10 Pounds of this series,plus a 1 Pound of the predecessor organisation - The Chief Treasury of Wales Limited,whose name is on the notes of the Black Sheep Company of Wales Limited.These notes are affectionately known as 'Black Sheep' notes.Most of them were never issued,but they were dumped into the numismatic trade through England.They are actually quite common notes.

Aidan.

it sure is pretty. the front circles are supposed to depict some middle-age astronomical phenomenon that occured over the city. i'm not quite sure why they haven't gotten around to updating this note with a hologram strip yet.

heheh...i finally got around to adding modern american currency to my collection. now if only they'll hurry up and release the new $10 note...




i'm betting that the major background color will be blue, by the way.

from the political group trying to establish an independent northern italy:

I got sent 2 25c. shinplasters from Canada by a dealer in Manitoba.They
are the 1900 & 1923 ones in better condition than dealers over here in New Zealand have offered me.It cost me nothing,as the dealer sent them to me with his compliments.

I remember going to France in 1995, and my company gave us an envelope with about 2,500 francs for taxis, tolls etc. and one of the notes they gave us was a 500 franc note like the one you have pictured. The only reasons I remember it was that guy has the look on his face that we all had after we spent 15 minutes trying to figure out how to fit it in our wallets!

From a friend. Despite the denominations being sort of low, this set cost me a little over $100. The Bahriani Dinar has a strong exchange rate.

local currency from ithaca, new york:

Are you running out of countries to collect? For your sake, I hope there are a few revolutions in the next year!

heheh...i still have plenty to collect. thanks to certain posts by mmarotta, i've expanded my interests to include local currencies.



i've also gone into the direction of private issues, like these beatle yogi notes first pointed out by biggandyy:

and of course, regular banknotes:

Boy. You are obsessed, man. Do you have enough money to eat?

it's quite a curious position to be loaded with tons of cash but being unable to spend any of it.

I miss that note T-bunny. Thanks again for the purchase.

It's pretty.

it's official...i can no longer afford to eat.

Christ SM98, you're going to have to eat your banknotes to stay alive!!!

Your collection is awesome.

Republic of Texas notes....

My god Miguel, that sure is amazing. P.S. I think I can get higher denomination notes of Singapore if you wish. I got friends and relatives who live there I do have higher denomination of Australian banknotes as I live here - if you wish.

thanks! i sorta went a little wild to celebrate a recent promotion, and i might've splurged just a little. heheh...after the dust settles, i don't think i'll be doing any buying for a bit.

Oh Miguel if I am not wrong, the Singapore bankote that starts with the serial 1 seems to be issued just last year 2004 or so if I am not wrong. Serial 0 was issued since 1999 and it is time to replace the old banknotes. Also note the hologram difference with serial 0 and serial 1 with the same banknote. I am quite sure there are some differences.

Canadian $2

thanks doo!

more arrivals from the previous splurge

I love you San Miguel

I like those notes you have from Netherlands. Probably some of the most colorful notes I've ever seen.

New banknotes today:

Russia
100 Roubles 1912-1917 I.Shipov & Mets

Germany
100 Mark 1908
5 Mark 1904

The aroma on the German notes reveal that their former owner was a tobacconist

i'm a sucker for smoking, and for collecting...but i never let my two vices meet.

Nice purchase, Brett... but you missed the lowest denomination for Belarus. It's my favorite, it has a squirrel on it. How neat is that?

I already had it

moving deeper into pre-modern territory...

Oooooh...I've always wanted to have a few of those "reb" notes. I've got some civil war notes from the good side. Seems like the folks that collect confederate currency must really like it because the prices seem to be awfully high. If you know of a good place to get them, let us know.

oddly enough, i purchased my reb notes from a yankee dealer in boston! (denlys.com) you can save quite a bit by taking notes with "minor" imperfections...the twenty i bought is cut-cancelled, and the fifty was cut improperly near the top. besides that, the notes were more or less perfect, and they both cost less than the "problem-free" ten dollar note that isn't as bright.

A german 20 Mark 1914

Those Confederate notes are awesome. I've always wanted to get at least one example.

I have an old Canal Bank $20, and a North Carolina $2 which are as close as I have to confederate money. My latest purchase was 4 old $20 bills, series 1950, 1950 A and two 1950 B. I will likely place the duplicates up in the auction forum this weekend.

1796 - 25 Francs Mandat Territoriale

These were huge and were backed by confiscated church and emigre lands. Supposedly you could trade a pile of these in on some of that land and in fact rich people bought up property with these notes. For those who didn't have that much money they were just another form of assignat, rapidly depreciating until they were virtually worthless. If you look closely you can see this is a Series 1 note. They released hundreds of series with 50-100,000 notes in each series.

Here are some notes that I got in the mail a few days ago. Notice the pictures don't have the same number of notes, a few had a blank reverse *shrugs*.

Notgeld, nice, some is Austrian.

Have you checked out banknotebank.com? It is Omnicoin's sister site and you can post notes there.

I'm going to work on setting up an account there this weekend. Have a bunch of notes I'd like to post.

Thanks for the idea Sisu.

hmmm...I've been neglecting my collection for the last two months. These new additions should keep it happy!
