MADISON Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 WOW!!! Another couple of amazing and beautiful banknotes You always seem to surprise me with you amazing notes! I agree with you that the EU might be butting a blandness on paper money and removing the cultural aspects from banknotes, but they might come around in the future to do something like the second note you posted - which is also a banknote from a currency board \\\'Central African States\\\' with the desiignation for Central African Republic spelled out. Like you last note illustrates, the EU just might issue notes with an overall European flair to them (whatever that may be), but more likely I think, is that they might do like the coins, and issue notes on which one side is designed with an EU Recognizable image, and the other is designed in line with the member country\\\'s cultural and national symbols. And then there might even be some commemorative EU Notes in the future. Well, we can hope anyway! And once again - - Great New Notes!!!!! A few more very nice AFRICAN NOTES......!Let us hope,DAVE, that what you just said will be the reality in the future shortly,but I doublt it would be produced as the same in the past....!

Scottishmoney Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 El Banco de la Republica Oriental del Uruguay contracted with Banque de France in 1930 to print a commemorative series of banknotes celebrating the centennial of Uruguay's independence from Spain. This otherwise very French looking note has Latin American themes, with the Lady Liberty's helmet, the sun emblem etc. Ordinarily until the late 1930's Giesecke & Devrient printers in Munich Germany were the printers of choice for the Uruguayans, this note below is the usual note that circulated until the 1940's: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 A truly magnificent note, only about 38 years old, but now highly collectable because of the very colourful themes of a tropical paradise: The level of detail in this design is fantastic, down to the sheen on the young lady's teeth, and on the reverse image the over usage of eyeliner!

Dave M Posted August 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Those are some beauties for sure! The Uruguay note I especially like because I know how hard it is to find in decent condition Thanks for the huge scans, it is amazing to see them with such detail. Are you back in the collecting fold? Welcome back, or welcome still here, however you like... Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
