I second that! You've been posting very nice notes lately! Maumau - Cool notes as well... I really like the image of Glamis Castle on the reverse of that Scottish 10 pounder (checked it out on Banknotebank).

Baxuss - Nice note! Have you any other info on it - Where's it from, etc? I agree with you that it looks like a printers test. This era of chinese notes has more to it that meets the eye as I've found out. The notes are often more interesting than what they seem at first.

These are such great notes! Congrats on getting a nice looking example!

Everyone's been posting such nice notes, it's left me feeling like I'm missing out! Well, I decided I'd like to try and put together a more complete set of Sierra Leone Banknotes from the three I had already. These are the first step towards that. Some are newer, some are older. I've still got a few more to get - shouldn't be too hard to get a set even with the resizing they went through recently.

Cool notes! That was very nice of your friend!

Beautiful note MMMM! I've been looking for one of these, but have had a hard time finding one that isn't all beat up. I really like the reverse image on this note! Congrats!

Great Notes, S.A. I've always liked those two. I still need that 100 though. Your 10000 is nice nad bright!

Maybe she just needs a shave.

Very Cool Saor Alba! I don't think I've seen a note like this one before.

According to USPapermoney.info My lihttp://www.uspapermoney.info/serials/all___h.htmlnk they were only issued in two series: 1966 and 1966A. for both series, there were 1,280,000 regular notes combined and 128,000 star notes. Right up there with the red seal One Dollar note issued in 1928 which had 1,872,012 regular and 24,000 star notes.

I seem to have missed a few notes from the previous page! Great lot of notes they were too. I'm seriously lacking on Frenchies, and that duece reminds me of one that I passed on and regret. Oh, well. Nice notes all!

Got a pretty good deal on this legal tender note. It's only graded 58 due to a couple of stains it seems. Scans giving me issues today, the back is a little off - greens shoudl be greener and whites are nicer too.

Here's a Cuban 10 Pesos from 1896:

My last post reminded me that I have another type of Chariot:

Hate to double post, but as I was adding this to the Latest Purchases thread, I realized it was indeed transportation themed and well, here it is:

Well, this was almost an impulse buy. I really thought the imagery wasn't the best, but I liked it anyway. Supposedly it's a scene with Confucius on the reverse.

Yeah, I don't know if the price is going to hold on these, but they sure are great looking banknotes, though! I really like that lion! Congrats - Deal or not, it's yours and it's cool!

Nice note Maumau - I like the look of all those 9's in the serial number too!

I just got it off Ebay from a trusted seller. He had only two MPC's and unfortunately not the Buffalo one. If I see one around, I'll let you know about it.

Saor Alba - Great new set of ladies you've got there as always. I love teh countenance on "Reverie" - one not normally seen. MMMM - I's call that a seal as well. Hasn't quite got the Coat of Arms feel to it. Here's a new note I got in today: First and only USA MPC

Cool thread idea DF!!! Alright - Who's next?

Well, Thursday November 11, 2010 is Veterans Day in the United States. It is a day that has been reduced to a mere shopping weekend with mild sales discounts, and a postal holiday, but other than that, very few people actually celebrate it. It started as Armistice Day in 1938 to celebrate the end of WWI which officially ended on November 11, 1918. After WWII and the Korean War, it was evident that there was a ned to honor all veterans in all wars, so in 1954 Congress replaced the word "Armistice" with "Veterans". In 1971 the observance was changed to October 25th, but was again changed to November 11 in 1975. Veterans day is often confused with Memorial day, but there is a strong differance. Memorial day is a day to honor those who've died while serving their country, while Veterans day is meant to honor those veterans who are still living. I have served in the Reserve, then Active Duty and then finished up my time in the Air National Guard. In fact, I retired from service just this weekend after serving over 21 years. As a small reward to myself I bought a nice piece of MPC as a token of my service: series 681 $1 Military Payment Certificate issued in 1969. And in appreciation of all those who have served, and are continuing to serve, I say "Thank You"! Your efforts and sacrifices are well appreciated.
