I see what you mean.... you can melt a coin and it will still be worth something, but even the rarest of banknotes can be cut up with scissors and be rendered worthless...
But on the other hand, any UNC banknote will still hold some value after becoming obsolete.
WRONG!!!
Voltaire didn't collect banknotes, and obviously couldn't appreciate the aesthetic value of banknotes. For example. a random banknote in crisp UNC condition can lose all legal tender value in 50 years, but regains at least the value it had before simply because it is desirable.
This auction is for a rare Martinique note that has seen better times... in need of a loving collector!!
Starting at $0.00, with a shipping cost of just $1.00...
Ends in 5 days.
