MMMM Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 I just received these two Advertisment notes. They are from a Swiss company ASCOM, which was bought out by De La Rue. What are your favorite "Test" notes? The Pink Panther one is Large 111x195 the Charlie Brown is only 61x119. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMMM Posted August 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 It took two years to find these. There are more, check out the ATM Test Notes list: http://www.atmtestnotes.com/Gallery/Ascom/index.htm it is a good resource for test notes. But not complete.

Scottishmoney Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Here is one printed by Komori Machinery Printing of Sussex UK: Presumably this is an advertising note for the Indian market - notice the numerals in the serial number are very similar to those used on Indian banknotes. The following note is probably intended for European customers, but not likely Monaco since they didn't have banknotes during this era: And then with a colourised back printing: Komori is actually a Japanese company that has a printing facility in the UK. The following is by Bradbury Wilkinson & Co Ltd, a printing concern that was then owned by American Banknote Company but was located in New Malden, Surrey with target markets in Latin America, and in the British colonies in Africa and Asia. This note was apparently intended for their Latin American audience: The lovely vignette of said note: These were likely printed beginning in the 1920's but this design was printed in different colour offerings probably into the late 1940's.

Scottishmoney, do you know the vintage for the notes with the India numbering format? And yes they are distinctly Indian. I recall seeing these or similar notes a few years ago, but they weren't available for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 From what I understand they were made by Komori Machinery Printing in the 1980s. This is a pretty obscure note though, I have the only one I have ever seen for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 That yellow "100" really reminds me of Dutch and Dutch territory notes of the 80s/90s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMMM Posted August 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 That yellow "100" really reminds me of Dutch and Dutch territory notes of the 80s/90s. Do you mean the Suriname 2000 series? They are similar, the printer for Suriname i think may be De La Rue. But looking at the two sets ... hmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 That yes, but also Netherlands 50G P#96 for the colors (yellow in center, white left side and some orange on the right) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottishmoney Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Thank you. This is the first and only type I have seen related to India. There are probably more that are out there in the wild - but they are elusive. Perhaps with the upcoming changes in Indian currency planned there will be more since the plans are to diversify portraits with literary and historical figures and not so much M K Gandhi.

MMMM Posted August 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 I believe this is a Advertisement note? The company is located in Denmark and makes money counters; I do not believe the do printing. I cannot find any more info on this particular piece.

MMMM Posted September 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 This Advertisement note is from LandQart, a Swiss company that produces security paper. This one is called Macun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Here is one quietly printed and released in small numbers in Ukraine, it was conjectured that the design with portrait of Panteleimon Kulish was going to be used for proposed 1000 Hryven note but instead was used as presentation piece which is noted in overprinted red lettres. This note comes with folder about printing techniques and features of this note. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMMM Posted September 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Nice one, it looks like it has all the security bells and whistles thrown in. What company made it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Nice one, it looks like it has all the security bells and whistles thrown in. What company made it? It is printed by National Bank of Ukraine, they have their own presses etc. But I have to imagine they have some consultancy with De La Rue.

MMMM Posted September 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 A Promotional Note from Státní Tiskárna Cenin Praha (STC), The State Security Printing Office in the Czech Republic. I am trying to figure out the year this was printed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 I have owned the Czech Republic note for about 8-9 years if that is any help dating it. I believe it was created ca. 1997-8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMMM Posted September 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Thank you, that is about when I thought it was printed. I knew it was printed before 2006 because it is on the front of "40th anniversary of foundation" flier. The flier can be found "SecurityPrinting.Org" page. I have not translated it. http://www.securityprinting.org/english/certificate/cns/kspp_04.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMMM Posted October 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 From the Czech Republic counting company K.o.T.a.S an advertisement note: I believe it says "1234 Elephant" but i am note certain. I would like to know what it says on the bottom of the back, if anyone knows what it says it would be appreciated if you could translate. Thank you.
