Interesting Macau notes! I have to say that the Chinese on the BNU notes looks like some variant of Comic Sans MS in Chinese?!

Beaut!

So are those technically FRNs then?!

Haven't seen it with US, but some modern Canadian silver proofs are hitting the pot, indeed.

Somewhat difficult (though not expensive) as they weren't really saved during the change-over. The low demand led many a dealer to simply spend them rather than save. The $2 by far is the most readily available note of the series. The $5 and $10 are still found in circulation once in a blue moon.

The poster formerly known as Art?

No more Art? :bshock:

Always fun!

Is this... 1. Actual as issued, 2. Actual note that's been modified, or 3. Fantasy note?

Great St. Pierre - First time I've seen one anywhere!

A very worthy winner!

I'm happy to see what is seemingly the most worn piece come out ahead - a vote for character!

I assume those are printed on cardstock?

I can only venture to guess that it was by a maker out East. A S VDB would had been quite interesting alright!

Can't say I've seen the book version, only the single and pair (with the 1/2 ounce gold version) in what looks like plasticized cardboard.

Neat pieces!

I'm not disputing the legal tender status of nickel dollars. My argument is that legal tender status concerns only the validity of a piece of currency towards payment of a debt, and that as such, there is no obligation for a bank, or anyone else, to exchange one type of legal tender for another, in other words, banks are not obligated to accept nickel dollars in exchange for other coins, banknotes, or as a deposit. The only time the legal tender argument comes into play for a bank is if you were to use them towards payment of a debt (e.g. credit card bill).

Very pretty!

Neat! Unusual in that the English side makes no reference their status as silver certs.

Very interesting!

Can't say I see those often!

There's no apostrophe when spelling it in pinyin. The apostrophe is needed when spelling in Wade-Giles as Ch and Ch' are different.

That's a George IV alright - probably a Nova Scotia 1/2d

They don't take dollar coins? I met a coinstar salesperson at a retail show several years ago and he assured me that the machine takes all dollar coins.
