Yes Mohur (which literally means a seal) was a Gold coin worth 15 rupees. The Green underprint issues are a bit rarer than the later red underprint ones. Here is an example of the red underprint note (this type is easily available)

And here is an 1899.

And here is a 1901.

Finally, a note I can post . Here is a 1902.

Love to post a few on this thread, but every time I think, there is a something I've got, I am too late . Nonetheless, a great idea for the thread.

Banknote are usually too large to handle with tongs, tongs can easily put a fold in them if you are not careful. Tongs are best with something small like stamps. I agree with both TDP and Dave above that you should minimize touching the notes, but clean hands are usually good enough. Like TDP above, I touch my more expensive notes only on the sides/let them rest on my palm lightly, if they are out of sleeves.

Uncut sheets of Web notes - US $1 currency
Balaji Murthy replied to Balaji Murthy's topic in Banknote Forum
Thanks. -
Since Web Notes didn't really have the sheets that are used for generally printing currency, were there ever Uncut sheets with web notes? Thanks
-
Very nice, congratulations!!

One of the best posts I have read today!!!

It appears that the redesigned US $100 bill will finally be in the hands of the public this fall. http://www.federalre...r/20130424a.htm Let's hope this time the rollout is successful, unlike the big problem it became the last time this was tried. http://www.coinpeopl...dollar-problem/ - Balaji

I don't believe the light green seal/serial number are any error, that was a type. Both light green and dark green were issued. I am amazed at and impressed with Scottishmoney's circulation finds.

I finally got around to reading the article. My compliments as well!!
-
Thanks for the explanation. This would qualify the former note be an error issue then?

Palestine doesn't issue any currency. I don't know the history too well, but I think after the British left, they likely stopped having their own currency and the Israeli currency came into being. Today the official currency in Palestine is the Israeli Shekel or the New Shekel. Recently, in the last couple of years Palestine has been seriously thinking about resurrecting the Palestinian Pound, but nothing has materialized yet.

Well, how about the most interesting of them all then, Taiwan?
-
This cannot be a serious statement. Where are you looking? Many dealers have them. And especially on ebay, there are tons of both.

Being from India, that could have applied to me (ethics of collections related to oppressing regimes) collecting British currency and especially British (and Portuguese) Indian currency. As I said, from a collecting point of view it still is an important area.
-
Strictly my opinion. If one is into collecting, one cannot make judgments about the subject. Quite often the moral aspect is really unclear depending on what side of the argument you are on. Collecting "dictator" notes seems to be a fine theme, go for it. Even if you make a moral judgment, you can easily showcase that collection from that point of view.

Off hand, I can recall Cook Islands and Faroe Islands that have their own currency.

I thought I would do a facebook on coinpeople today by "liking" Scottishmoney's impressive responsive, but failed miserably You have reached your quota of positive votes for the day and this was my first (ever). Apparently, I am not authorized to send any positive vibes on CP . As always, I am amazed and impressed with the breadth and depth of knowledge of some members here, with Scottishmoney at the head of that list.

2 sets of 100 running order $100 Orchid series Singapore notes
Balaji Murthy replied to jackli's topic in Banknote Forum
Actually, I think rbethea's advise is sound and still holds true. If I were a collector of straps or stacks, I would still take a nearly intact one, especially, if that stack is reasonably uncommon. -

Balaji Murthy replied to jackli's topic in Banknote Forum
I agree with the recommendation above, especially since Mavin are the official MAS auctioneers as well. Good luck. -
Thank you. This is the first and only type I have seen related to India.
-
Scottishmoney, do you know the vintage for the notes with the India numbering format? And yes they are distinctly Indian. I recall seeing these or similar notes a few years ago, but they weren't available for sale.
