Series 1934 $100 bill at the bank on Friday, teller called me when it came in so I could get it.

Cashed in the leftover Zincolns in this AM at the bank, and got 5 Ike dollars, in EF-AU, 1971-1972 for my efforts.

I think I bought a fairly decent '08 S cent several years ago, where it is, I have no idea. That is the lousy thing about having coins in the bank, you never see them. It is why I have a private website so I can visit my lovelies online now. I am hearing rumblings all through that cents are going to be on the march up in price because of the interests created next year with the commemoratives for Lincoln.

Two Bank of Ireland £5's, one 1937 Canadian $1 in CU, and one aUnc 100 Piastres(1954) from French Indochina: Many lovely young ladies appeared on the colonial French notes issued for her far flung possessions around the world, unfortunately early on, most of them were French. Later on, with greater agitation by nationalists in her colonies, France began to issue paper money that showed the people from her diverse possessions instead of French women. This lovely note was issued in 1954, was issued in Cambodia, the reverse of the note has an image of Angkor Wat, but similar notes with different reverses were issued in Laos and in Viet-Nam. The three ladies are emblematic of the ethnic diversity of French Indochina, in this case represented by a Cambodian, Laotian, and Vietnamese women. This note is P-97. This series of notes surely must be the inspiration for a similar note currently issued in Laos with three young Laotian girls seen here:

30 Wheat cents from 5000 searched, all 1941-1958 and not much else exciting.

CF, you are lucky you could even get a Vatican €uro set I bought one of the 2002 San Marino sets, I had been on their mailing list for years so had priority for ordering, I bought it for $12.50 and sold for $212.50, but I regretted it afterwards.

Isn't it something how they can religiously drop off every piece of junk mail but not the important stuff? Last week I did not get a registered slip for a package I tracked into the United States, AGAIN, my PO keeps doing this, so I questioned the clerk, she went back, and sure enough there it was. They never used to believe me, now when they see me they automatically bolt for the registered cage.

Waiting for tonnes of junk, but nothing at the PO.

Curiously the moneyer got his own name right, what with the R's, but not with Eanred's name, where the R's are retrograded:) That is a nice piece, as you know, these coins are not uncommon, in harsher preservation, but nice specimens are quite scarce and desirous.

Having had the time I perused through your site in your signature, and am quite thankful which practically all of the treasures on your site have been sold

Darn I have a good memory, but there were things that burned up my Stacks budget before I got to the Shooting Thalers, perhaps fortunate for you and your Dad:) Besides, whilst the pieces are lovely, I realise I get too off focus with my collection

I recall seeing one of those in a recent Stack's auction. So attractive and so very tempting to bid on, because it is so lovely, but then it would open up yet another collecting venue to an already stretched ADHD collection.

Couple of weeks ago I got two silver dimes in 1.5 weeks, like they are coming out of the woodwork lately. With the economy shafting I believe we will see lots of older stuff that people held onto come into circulation, or up for sale soon.

Two of the older fivers, a series 1974 and a 1990.

Poor Hanky got crossed

Educate yourself about the situation in Northern Ireland, you know, the fighting that has gone on there for over 360+ years and you will understand. Your comment shows lack of any knowledge of the place. People there have long defaced banknotes that they perceive of as being issued by their enemies, Protestant or Catholic. Some notes, notably National Bank or Bank of Ireland were defaced by Protestants because they were "Catholic" whilst Catholics defaced Ulster and Northern Bank notes because they were perceived of as "Protestant". Because of pen marks and propaganda scribbled on notes, some notes are very rare in undefaced condition.

Several years ago I sold my whole Irish collection of banknotes, from 1910's to 1990's to a collector for something like $1000 or similar, I had large size square Pound notes, large denomination Northern Ireland banks etc. I kick myself for ever selling that collection, I had very nice stuff, several early uncirculated or EF notes etc. Now I am collecting Ireland again, and am paying outrageous prices for very nice material. Some of the NI banks have note issues that are very very rare when they are unmarked or defaced by ink marks etc. because of the political situation there.

One dime and one cent. Nothing special, but better than nothing.

And 1.5 weeks later, another silver dime, this time a 1963-D.

I really like the rectangular medal, very well designed and manufactured.

Lame attempt to get more profile views than me.

The year 1848 was momentus and memorable in European history, it's lasting effects would be felt decades afterwards. The social upheaval was brought about by revolutionaries seeking much needed reform in the area of human rights etc. in many countries of Central Europe. The initial activity began in Sicily, but spread to France, resulting in the toppling of the French King. Subsequently revolutionary activities spread into the Austro-Hungarian Empire, especially Hungary, where it fanned the flames of an movement for greater autonomy at first, but then for independence of the Hungarian State. Lajos Kossuth was appointed Regent-President of the Hungarian movement in 1848. After the suppression of the rebellion in 1849 he travelled to Great Britain and the United States seeking funds in support of the cause of Hungarian independence. He was well received in the United States, and had paper money printed, which was in affect a donation receipt. This One Forint bill was printed by Toppan Carpenter of Philadelphia and sold to enthusiastic American supporters for the sum of one dollar each. Notice the symbolic representation of Hungary slaying the Habsburg monarch. Many of the feminine vignettes were created for the use of these notes, but others, such as the top image, were also used on 1850's era American notes. Curiously because these notes were printed in large numbers at the time, and often saved as souvenirs, they are very affordable means of collecting fine 19th century art.

I would really like to collect more African notes, they are all unique designs, very fascinating. Also really quite scarce when you think about it. Thanks for sharing.

The Dutch colony of Suriname was first settled by the English in 1652, but was traded to the Dutch in return for their settlement in New York in 1667. Suriname became an autonomous part of the Kingdom of Netherlands in 1954, and full independence was achieved in 1975. The design of this note dates to 1957, being printed by Joh Enschede in Zonen, the change in the 1963 was different arms on the reverse of the note. These notes were issued until 1982 and because of inflation were printed in large numbers, quantities of which have been released by the Central Bank in recent years. This note is P-31.
