Will do ....Thanks, DAVE

Those certainly are! Simply exquisite.

Thanks guys , glad that you like them.....!

I like that Sudan set. I bought the set mainly because of that 2 Pound music note - but in hand the whole set is actually very nice, and I'm glad I got the set and not just the 2 pound note.

MY NICE AND SCARCE BELGIUM CONGO SPECIMEN NOTES----)

Fresh from the far east....ENJOY !

That's a beautiful note.

Fresh from HONG KONG'''VERY NICE SPECIMEN-----)

NICE SET FROM COMORES

I don't know your budget, but Aussie predecimal doesn't come cheap these day, the note I posted above is one I picked up earlier this year in VF condition (a nice VF though) for over A$650 (as of today that translate to US$650!). I'm trying to get as much Aussie predecimal I can afford while I can, especially the George V & George VI issues.

 

 

 

I picked up one of these earlier this week

All my notes were picked up 15 or more years ago when price was very cheap then.When I did pickup this 10 pounds, i did not realise it was a 1st prefix note until recently....a lucky find and it is an 'unc'note

Nice selection, I love the New Zealand. I will have to look for one of those Australian 1 Pounds for my collection.

This is my other animals.

Nice set Dave M.... Never seen that last one in a collection before. Great notes!

VERY NICE INDEED DAVE. GOOD WORK...

An Amazing note Madison! That's a great addition to your collection - Congratulations!

THANKS DAVES'....LONG TIME NO HEAR....

I also found this one in the mail... A very nice and pretty ALGERIAN NOTE..

Mercantile Bank was a much smaller bank, and had far fewer banknotes in circulation - which is regrettable for collectors - because they are wonderfully designed and in deep deep red:

 

Notes were last issued dated 1974, the bank was sold to Citibank in 1984 and the name disappeared. Subsequently the assets of the bank were sold to Bank of Tokyo - Mitsubishi in 1987 and the bank completely disappeared.

''CORRECTION''

The Mercantile Bank became part of HSBC GROUP in 1959, its H.K. branch continued to issue notes until 1974, even though responsibility for its note issue was transferred to the HONG KONG BANK IN 1966..... I WAS THERE.... IT IS QUOTED FROM '' MONEY IN THE BANK'' by JOE CRIBB-LONDON-1987- And I do not believe a BRITISH Bank under BRITISH RULE at that time would be sold to a foreign entity............

Thank you Dave, I've been eying the lists for a nice one to show up, and finally made the move. I'm not sure this one's quite as nice as the one that got away, but its very good and fit right in to my collection since there was a spot waiting for it

 

Dave

Congrats in getting the replacement.....you must have love that 5 fondly.....very expensive from the cataloque, even in ef --1872 vintage...? right DAVE?

I need that note too.... it's a nice one. Madison has it.

Fresh from MAASTRICHT----MY PERFECT 10 ------

I got these notes in today. I have no idea abou the date on teh Chinese note - it seems to be unlisted, and there's not much information on it - no serial numbers, etc. Maybe it's local Currency?

THe Paraguay note has been on my list for a while and I finally just got it.

 

Very nice and pretty notes DAVE !the best Chinese note I've ever seen....

A couple of new ones that showed up in today's mail:

NEVER HAVE ENOUGH OF THIS KIND OF BEAUTY. STILL MISSING IS THE 100

i dont have yet a pic with the reverse but you can find on google with search "1000 lei 1934" and the bill have 4 watermarks. 1. Head of emp Traian on the right circle, 2. the BNR monogram in lower white circle, 3. value "1000"in high round circle and 4- value "1000 lei" in center white case.

This is the scans

Beautiful notes. It's a wonderful area of collecting.

Never have enough of this kind of note,nice and simple. Well done indeed.

THANKS DAVE ! Still not able to get my favorite AMERICAN note yet....

Another nice JAPANESE note----)

I see your good taste in banknotes travels into Iberia too, eh? Spanish banknotes are always a treat to behold aren't they? These are harder to find in UNC than one might suppose, too. Surprisingly, the prices dont' fully reflect that scarcity for those higher grades ... yet.

 

Congrats on the new notes!

THANKS DAVE ! Still not able to get my favorite AMERICAN note yet....

ANOTHER NICE NOTE FROM WEST AFRICAN STATE---)

THIS IS THE HI-POINT FOR THE TRIP...

Very nice notes. That $5 is especially nice. The reverse vignettes - Columbus and Pilgrims if I recall correctly are super pieces of art.

My new purchase from SPAIN---)

King George V 1935 $1 almost solid 222229 with embossing and in AU condition.
