Where I am I get on occasion American money, mostly state quarters but sadly no USVI, which is the only one that I need in my collection.

Just realize that, soon UK will have Jane Eyre on their notes and have already had William Shakespeare on their banknotes as well!

They're getting Jane Austen on the 10 pound in a few years.

Just a few nots I got recently (and been too lazy to post)

20 Swiss Francs 2000

100 riels Cambodia 1972

100 Frwnch francs

10 Francs Berlioz

100 Francs Corneille

1 Piastre Indochina

500 Francs La Paix 1941

That Japan note is beautiful!

I found this coin on ebay (http://www.ebay.ca/itm/1865-B-Germany-Lippe-1-Thaler-Taler-Silver-Prooflike-BU-PCGS-MS-65-Proof-/141170296782?pt=US_World_Coins&hash=item20de67c7ce&_uhb=1) but I really have no idea if it's original or just a restrike coin, because the price is just so low.

If I'm not mistaken the warning at the bottom is "Counterfeiters are punished by being sent to a hard labour camp?"

Punished by forced labor. All the french colonial notes did the same, and in France it was "reclusion criminelle a perpetuite", confinement. In a Algeria 5 frs., it says "...Punit par des travaux-forces a perpetuite".

Found some others:

25 Cents Canada 1900, with Britannia

20 Dollars Canada 1954, with Queen Elizabeth II "devil's face"

100 Francs France 1942

100 Kip Laos, 1957

10 Gourdes Haiti, 2004- with Sanité Bélair

It is going to be British most likely. Of the period 1954-1967

I can't scan the notes, but I did get a nice collection of banknotes, of France and French colonies. The nice ones were 1 Piastre Indochina, 500 Riels Cambodia, 5 Frs. Algeria 1941, and a 100 Francs of France of 1937.

Fidel is also on the reverse of the 10 peso note.

 

Che, that handsome devil, is also on more than a couple of notes. These are just two, fittingly red.

 

We cannot also forgot Somoza, who is on this Nicaraguan 1,000 cordoba note.

 

I didn't find any money with the mass murderer Augusto Pinochet on it, but how, pray tell, could anyone forget Idi Amin?

 

Al-Assad's son has also just made it onto some new Syrian notes.

 

And so on it goes....

 

 

 

Yes, I need to get Assad and Gaddafi, before everyone hordes them. But I did get the Napoleon banknote, 100 francs.

Che Guevara has never been President or Prime Minister, anyway.

Mussolini could not be portraited on Italian coins, because this "honour" was reserved to the king. Let's not forget, Vittorio Emanuele III was an important numismatist and coin collector (and more interested in numsimatics than in his states' affairs) and he would have never allowed Mussolini to change this law. After the birth of Italian Social Republic, dies were transeferred from Rome to Aosta, so that there were no change in coinage.

Hitler, simply, was not interested in such a thing, that he would have probably considered as monarchist... Anyway, there were some projects to coin "Hitler coin" but Germany was at the end of its most obscure period

That's very interesting. Once I saw there was a collection of Hitler stamps. I wanted one but I didn't need all of them so I didn't buy it.

 

Australia did not produce pre-decimal coinage in c/n. New Zealand, on the other hand, yes.

But the New Zealand Side with the queen is different. The cross is at the left and not in the top.

The first is Italian 50 Lira coin of Italy. And the second, maybe a British/Australian sixpence or shilling, in copper-nickel.

Just about 10 years but last 3 are very intensive

My collection is grow from 500pcs to 1500pcs

I also have been around 10 years collecting and like you I have more then 1000.

I have an Ecuador 5 sucres, 1944 which was made into a spoon. The coin is curved and the creator added a decorated spoon handle with the design of a dog and a person on the top.

that's great. I did got a few nice ones.

100 Pesos Cuba, 1959

10 Francs France, 1972

5 Quetzales Guatemala, 1978

1 Dollar Antarctica, 2007

Sorry, can't put pictures, but I have a few nice old notes.

50 Pesetas España, 1928

1 Peso Philippines, series 66 with "CENTRAL BANK OF THE PHILIPPINES" and "VICTORY" on the back

1000 Lei Romania, 1941

10 Francs Voltaire, 1970

A transistional piece?

Yes. It's from the period of the Napoleonic wars too, and there were coins with Joseph Napoleon as king and Fernando VII in the same period.

Hello. The Katanga is very interesting. It was a country in the south of Congo (Zaire) that only was independent for +/- 2 years. It is like Biafra in Nigeria, interesting to have.

hopefully others are too

Guernsey, 8 Doubles 1889.

Got a nice piece in El Salvador, an 1810 2 reales coin, NG (Nueva Guatemala) mint, with the Ferdinand VI image, text FERDIND VII.

I have a 25 cent coin of the War of 1812 (Canada) from 2013.
