That might really be the one to use, actually Biggandyy.

Can you make a whole series?

1 CP Dollar - blue tint - Unknown

5 CP Dollar - orange-red colors - MisterMcDoo

10 CP Dollar - greenish colors like your first note - Stujoe

20 CP Dollar - silver/grey - Sir Sisu

50 CP Dollar - be creative ; ) - akdrv

100 CP Dollar - " " - Tiffibunny

That would be awesome. And put their names near the portrait too. This could be it...

It's very good, actually!!

One thing you must know when selling things for CP dollars... make them kind of expensive. As CP members are receiving an "allowance" and not working for their CP Dollars, at least for a while until all 5,000 Dollars are out, it's hard to spend wisely. For example the cheapest thing in my shop... a 50 Intis.... is 3 CP Dollars. Nothing should go for just 1 CP Dollar.

The major problem with this is how you are going to fix a number against a price, supposingly if your coin is 50 USD, how are you going to price that in CP "dollars"? Another major issue would be, how are you going to back that CP "dollars"? Of course, it has to be backed upon some of your cash, properties on hand.

 

How are these notes going to be made? By an inkjet printer? (totally 100% water soluable... ) Color laser printer? Etc.

 

Yes, to solve those counterfeit issues, I had a seal that is "PRETTY" hard to counterfeit, + yes, I definately signed it. Each was individually labelled and also had a period of time when they had to be used, or they could be exchangable for newer ones. 

 

As for the design, I was really lame and took the designs out from various world coin designs and added them into the vouchers with "some" extra other borders, etc that I used to make... hehehe.

First of all, there is no direct correlation between any "real" currency and a CP dollar. I don't expect anyone to be selling something worth $50 for CP Dollars.

CP Dollars are "backed" by the knowledge that there is exactly 5,000 CP Dollars out there between members.

All I have is an inkjet printer... but to tell you the truth, I don't find it necessary to create a private issue as realistic as Chatham Islands.

Also... very good note designs. Keep 'em coming!

Wwowww that is cool Emp. Oli.

Aetheling I'll have to say I don't much care for the post of the day thing. It would really complicate things, why not just have a certain allowance for CoinPeeps? If you want more CP Dollars, sell things!! It's a good way to boost the CP "economy".

A large list of major banks in many countries. Very helpful!

Just when you thought it couldn't get any uglier...

UGLY BANKNOTE COMPETITION PART DEUX

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Shield your eyes for... MisterMcDoo's Macedonian 50 Denar!!!

What IS that thing to the left???? A futuristic porta-potty? The bop-it extreme? Whatever it is, we are sure of one thing: it is UGLY!!

But wait! There's competition...

Please view:

The 1990 Slovenian 1 Tolar:

You'll never know if it has been urinated on.

LMAO

I don't know if post counts will correlate with the denomination, but I think the Unk 1 Dollar is great, I was testing the idea.

I also like what akdrv said, it would give us slang for CP dollars. i.e.

"Send me a few Unks and we have a deal"

Don't forget Ætheling, he was the first to bring it up.

Akdrv: that would be REALLY cool.

Also... after all 5,000 CP dollars are out, the only wait you can get some is to sell something for them.

For example... in my shop, a CU 50 Intis note is just three CP dollars.

I thought about changing the amount depending on how many posts one has, but there is just too many factors, so once you reach 25 posts here you can sign up to receive CoinPeople dollars and everyone will get the same amount. If you weren't a member at the old CoinPeople you must wait the 30 days as well... just like the advertising forum.

If anybody as any more questions, please ask!

What are CoinPeople Dollars?

CoinPeople Dollars are banknotes that will be used as usable exchange units, between qualified CoinPeople.com members. The purpose of this endeavor is to give the CoinPeople.com web forum something very special... its own economy.

How do I get CoinPeople Dollars?

Any active CoinPeople.com user with more than 25 posts, and with at least a 30-day membership (exceptions for old CP users) will receive an "allowance" of CP Dollars every month. This will continue until 5,000 CP dollars have been allot. This maximum is to prevent inflation. If a CP dollar is completely soiled, it can be sent back to the bank (here) and exchanged for a replacement CP Dollar.

Where can I spend my CoinPeople Dollars?

To get things started, I will be opening up a small shop in the advertising forum where you can spend your CP dollars on banknotes, and a few coins. I cannot wait to see others sell things for CP dollars as well.

You can sell anything for CP dollars in the ad forum. I don't expect it to be anything rare or expensive... just to join in on the fun. My shop will be filled with stuff like Intis and Pesos.

It shouldn't take long for a CoinPeople dollars "economy" to emerge.

What about counterfeiting?

Each and every banknote will be signed by me.

What will they look like?

Ætheling and I have created a few specimens, but we would REALLY like to see your designs. I'd like to have a 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 CP dollar banknotes. The banknotes will be uniface.

Our specimens:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If this works, it will be a lot of fun for us CP members. I also hope a section will be opened in the Ad forum for sales for CP dollars.

Also: if this is continued for a long time, older CP dollars in good condition may develop a "collector's value" of their own. A 2005 CP 1 Dollar in 2008 in CU condition might be sold for two CP dollars...

Please give your thoughts (AND BANKNOTE DESIGNS). Ætheling and I think this could be a fun thing for CoinPeople.

It might be worth $0.50 now. I don't have the newest Krause. But, inflation stuff doesn't usually do well so it probably either stayed the same or went down in value. Is it in UNC?

By the way, just remember that Germany (before the Euro) has always used Marks, Deutsche Marks, Reichsmarks, and briefly used francs for occupied French territories.

Thanks for understanding. Like I said, you can make a post about these commems in the banknote forum, with a link to here. That way it gets even more exposure.

By the way I'll take one if you use PayPal.

I'm sure this thread will get plenty of visitors here as well. Feel free to create another thread about the (beautiful) Swedish commem. in the Banknote forum with a link to this thread, but as far as I can see this involves exchange and belongs in the ad forums.

Thanks SS!

I honor ye, good Dutchman.

But folding crisp 50 Gulden notes?? Blasphemy!! Those go for FAR over face these days. I paid $50 for mine. I've seen them go for as little as $35 wholesale, and as much as $105 in other places.

Just going to continue Season 3, but I'm going to wait until things cool off before asking for the info that I just can't remember. I'm sure akdrv, stujoe, and tiff are very busy at the moment.

Those are nice notes Alex. And I do like the Journey series but I don't have a single one of them in my collection.

Answering your question about theme collecting... everybody has their own thing, like Tiffibunny's ugly or akward banknote collection, so I'm sure there is too many to list.

Good luck with the gun theme collection. I'd go to Ron Wise's site and look around to find more gun notes... if you want to give me a PM I also know where to find the Cuban machine gun note for a good price.

There's a Mali banknote that I have in my collection with a gun:

That's all I can think of, I'm sure there is more. Good to see you received your banknote.
