New Country Addition - Scarce Belarus 2000 10 Rublei Solid 5555555 in running number.

Interesting to have a series around the solid numbers too. Incredibly the note says that the National Library is portrayed

Let us visit the National Library and learn some Russian languages. Scottishmoney will be our teacher.

Very cool See, a series with a solid just screams rarity.

sweet new additions, see! heheh...i can't make up my mind about whether the front of the library looks more like the punisher's skull or the front part of a romulan spaceship.

Belarus still clings to the Communist realism, so the architecture harkens to another era.

This is the new Belarus National Library.

Now that's something to behold!

Just received this early Iran semi super solid 59/ 555555 to join my Iran 555555 collection.



The portrait is Mohammad Reza Pahlavi ( 1974 - 1979 )



A little history about him :



Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, Shah of Iran (Persian: محمدرضا پهلوی Moḥammad Rez̤ā Pahlavī) (October 26, 1919, Tehran – July 27, 1980, Cairo), styled His Imperial Majesty, and holding the imperial titles of Shahanshah (King of Kings), and Aryamehr (Light of the Aryans), was the monarch of Iran from September 16, 1941 until the Iranian Revolution on February 11, 1979. He was the second monarch of the Pahlavi dynasty and the last Shah of the Iranian monarchy.

The Shah came to power during World War II, after an Anglo-Soviet invasion forced the abdication of his father, Reza Shah. Mohammad Reza Shah's rule oversaw the nationalization of the Iranian oil industry under prime minister Mohammad Mossadegh. During the Shah's reign, Iran celebrated 2,500 years of continuous monarchy since the founding of the Persian Empire by Cyrus the Great. His White Revolution, a series of economic and social reforms intended to transform Iran into a global power, succeeded in modernizing the nation, nationalizing many natural resources and extending suffrage to women, among other things. However, a partial failure of the land reform, the lack of democratization as criticized by some of his opponents, as well as the decline of the traditional power of the Shi'a clergy due to parts of the reforms, increased opposition to his authority.

While a Muslim himself, the Shah gradually lost support with the Shi'a clergy of Iran, particularly due to his strong policy of Westernization and recognition of Israel. Clashes with the religious right, increased communist activity, Western interference in the economy, and a 1953 period of political disagreements with Mohammad Mossadegh (in which each side accused the other of staging a coup, eventually leading to Mossadegh's downfall) would cause an increasingly autocratic rule. Various controversial policies were enacted, including the banning of the Tudeh Party and the oppression of dissent by Iran's intelligence agency, SAVAK; Amnesty International reported that Iran had as many as 2,200 political prisoners in 1978. By 1979, the political unrest had transformed into a revolution which, on January 16, forced the Shah to leave Iran after 37 years of rule. Soon thereafter, the revolutionary forces transformed the government into an Islamic republic.

That Library looks realy a lot like a Borg ship LOL

Singapore 2007 $20 Last Prefix 0AC 555555









Brunei 2007 $20 First Prefix A/1 555555

I'm trying to work on current issues only from around the world.

It seems it would be easy, but it's harder than you think. I'm not even 1/3 of the way there yet.

Congratulation on your approaching to 1/3 of your world collection. Keep going ! Share with us your pictures, thoughts and joys here at coinpeople.

Wow. The yellow color scheme is fantastic on those notes. Also, I find it fascinating that Brunei and Singapore share currency. I had no idea. Great notes, See.

Yes, historically both countries are under the British rule and uses the same Malayan currency notes. When both countries became independant, they started issuing their own currencies. Arrangement of such agreement comes naturally. It facilitates ease of use and convenient. Money changers will be screaming for loss of business.

New Country Addition : Vietnam 2006 100,000 Dong Solid Number 555555

i come from that country originaly

Another question I should know the answer to, See: Those black areas on the last two notes, are those clear windows through the note? Are those only found on polymer notes?

I would love to visit Iran someday, when it is lead by the majority that is. I nearly moved there when I was a kid, we were pretty excited about going. But then everything changed in a big hurry and we never went.

Yes, they are clear window found on polymer notes. It's a security features in polymer notes. Usually they will have a design such as the denomination or some symbol relating to the country.

Last note I needed for my 1899-2006 $1 set! Woot!

Nice

Just completed showcasing the Singapore solid 555555 collection in my website for all the 4 series of currency starting from 1967 to 2007.

Very nice, great presentation as always - very talented design of your site See323.



Even HRH thinks the Singapore Princess is adorable

Thanks everyone! And congrats to you as well See!

Thank you ...everyone !

just found a tip guys while reading history on wikipedia

"The Song Dynasty (Chinese: 宋朝; Pinyin: Sòng Cháo; Wade-Giles: Sung Ch'ao) was a ruling dynasty in China between 960 and 1279 AD. It succeeded the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms era, and was followed by the Yuan Dynasty. It was the first government in world history to issue paper money"

wow now we know who made the first bank notes

I'm pretty sure the Mongols under Genghis Khan's rule were the first to issue paper currency. It was basically use them or die under his orders. I don't have an exact date, but I am almost certain it was during his time period the first paper currencies were used.

Vfox Congrats on finishing your $1 set that must feel great Love that last one as well LOL

dont think so try papermoney history at wikipedia.

I am expecting two new 555555 notes from Australia and New Zealand to arrive in the next two weeks.

Two notes are :

(1) New Zealand one is a 1977-1981 $10 555555. It is a scarce early series solid 555555 in AU condition. I won it during a recent Noble Auction in Australia.

(2) Australia 2005 $50 JA 05 555555. It is considered a super solid note since it is not possible to find a JA 55 555555. I will need to wait until year 2055 to have a note such as JA 55 555555. The numeric 05 represent year 2005 ( Vietnam also uses the same standard of representing the serial number ).

I shall put it up here when it arrive in my hands. Cheer...

nice finds (i say that alot xD)

Hey, See. What's a Noble Auction?

A well-known and established auction house in Australia.

they need to make money like this now!!!!

Just so you know, anyone can put info into wikipedia. Just be careful as to what it says is "fact"

Here is a closer date to when it started

In 118 B.C., banknotes in the form of leather money were used in China. One-foot square pieces of white deerskin edged in vivid colors were exchanged for goods. This is believed to be the beginning of paper money.
