Scottishmoney Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 And inspiration spread over time, well at least the three ladies did, they were obviously inspired by the French Indochina note from the 1950's, here depicted on a 2003 dated Laotian note: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Hey there Scottishmoney! Welcome back - Glad to see you posting again! Those are some very fine examples of French influenced banknotes! Those from French Polynesia and related overseas territories are always quite stunning - and they usually have a prime example of your favourite attribute, too!

Dave Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Nice note featuring Berlioz! Due to the lettering style, whenever I see this note I am reminded of the Wild West. Just seems an odd font for a french banknote to me. All French notes are "in demand" right now, and getting harder and harder to get.

Dave M Posted February 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Beautiful notes, guys! I'm awaiting a couple shipments myself, and will post them up when they arrive.

Dave M Posted February 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Madison, your scans are pretty grainy... I'm wondering if you can get a better image by scanning at a higher dpi, then reducing the image down in a graphics program. No complaints, I love seeing the notes, I'm just thinking you may be able to have better images? Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave M Posted February 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 But influence shows up in unusual places, here Romania: I haven't seen a copy of that 5lei note, it's wonderful. If I have my info right, both those notes were actually printed in France. More than just "influence"! Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
