  1. Didn't I once buy some Thai notes from you? I have a fairly decent Thai collection going now, they have some of the best commems around.

     

    That's me brother. I was living the good life in Thailand, but moved to DC two years ago. A little while back, I won an all-expense paid 6-month trip to Afghanistan. That's where I am writing this from. Unfortunately, I did not bring my Thai note collection with me. Overall, it is solid from 1948 to date (missing three notes that I can recall), but I need to do some work on the late 30s and early 40s issues. My wife tells me I have all the 2007 commemoratives waiting for me when I get back home.

    If I can find some extra time, I'll try to do a giveaway of some new Afghan notes.

  2. Scottishmoney,

     

    You are spot on about the lower grades of older Cambodian notes...I have the same note as the one you just acquired, but not as good condition. I picked it up in Cambodia while I was, among other things, taking the photo in my avatar.

  3. The Chief is certainly on my list of "must have" notes. I just have to wait until my wife blows a lot of money on something stupid. Then I'll have license to purchase. Unfortunately, she'll probably never spend enough to justify me buying the $5 educational note.

    2005 Disney World $50, special design, #248 out of 500.

     

    Thanks man. I was feeling guilty for buying a few of the disney $1 notes. Now I can show your post to my wife and say, "hell, at least I didn't spend $50 on funny money!"

  5. Oooooh...I've always wanted to have a few of those "reb" notes. I've got some civil war notes from the good side. Seems like the folks that collect confederate currency must really like it because the prices seem to be awfully high. If you know of a good place to get them, let us know.

  6. I just ordered:

     

    Standard Catalog of World Coins

    Standard Catalog of World Paper Money

    Standard Catalog of US Paper Money

     

    They are all the 2004 editions, but I got them from half.com for a total of $16.97 plus shipping. I just couldn't resist the bargain. The new editions cost $87.11 total plus shipping on amazon. Ouch!
