see323 Posted April 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Those are great, guys! I have to get some Bermuda notes; I'm a pushover for anything purple, blue, or green! Here is purple one from 1930. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMMM Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Here are the 2003 Brazil "Antonio Palocci Filho and Henrique de Campos Meirelles" series. It is odd, all but the 2 Reais have new pick numbers. I am not sure why the 2 reais does not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

see323 Posted April 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 I like the tigers on the Straights Settlements. I put them on my "want list". Good choice of notes but they are expensive especially those $5 from 1925 to 1930 series and not easy to find them in high grades (AUNC-UNC). In my 23 years of banknote collecting, I only spotted three of them for sales in the late 1980s. I purchase one of them for my collection.

see323 Posted April 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 For those who are not residing in Singapore, they may think that the birds in the Singapore bird series are common to Singapore in the wild. Not entirely true. The tern depicted on the $1 is not so common as these are migrating birds. Usually found in coastal areas stretching from China to Australia. I have yet to see one in Singapore. As for the sharma ($50), bulbul ($5), these are song birds kept by Singaporean. They are not in the wild. The $20 sunbird is a common bird in Singapore. The female are greenish yellow while the male ones with purple throated. I once caught a male bird. After studying it for 2 days and fed with honey, I released it. There are a number of species of kingfisher found in Singapore. The $10 white collar kingfisher is a common bird in Singapore. They have distinctive calls. Even if you don't see them, you can hear them. You can find them easily in places where there are water. As for the $100 bee eater, I have yet to see one. Maybe I did not search hard enough. Here is a photo of the colourful blue tailed bee eater spotted and photographed in Changi by Charlie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMMM Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 This one from Colombia always reminds me of Disney's Jungle Book, even though it is an Andean Condor and not a Vulture, and is in South America and not Inida. But it has feathers, i was close ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 I've seen some amazing notes here! THey're all great, and make for an amazing notaphilic zoo. I've been looking through mine this evening, and while I have too many to list them all here, but I've got a few of my favorites to show based solely on artistic merit. Personally, I think there needs be more dogs, after all they're mans best friend, right? Unless you're a postal worker I suppose. Colombia - Beautiful, colorful birds Chad - More birds Denmark - the common House Sparrow. Fanfare for the common bird - Gotta' like that, eh? Hm.... kinda' going for the Alfred Hitchcock Theme here? Djibouti Nice Artwork for an ugly mammal. And Last but not least (cuz I'm tired and have too many too choose from) Scotland - A wee mousy!
