Dave Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Nice notes guys! Congrats to DF911 for getting the first posted image of the new South Sudan currency! As for that Estonian note, well, now I've seen it bigger and I like it better... thedeadpoint is right about that lake scene. And Arts new MPC rocks too! (nice photos btw) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMMM Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 I like the vignette on the MPC, super note. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Got my two new CHinese banknotes in today. These are quite large - one is 2.75 X 10 inches and the other is 3.6 X 9.5 inches. By far the largest notes of this type I've encountered yet. They are quite different from my others not only in size, but in their vignettes as well as the seals - especially the red seal depicting a person instead of a geometric shape (diamond, square and rectangle were most common). This one is a 1925 100 Coppers from Kirin, Yu He Kong Bank This next one is 6000 Cash Shantung, Chang Shing He Chi Bank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccg Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Wow, that Estonian note has a bit of a resemblance to the 1990s German 10 DM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Nice set of note there, MMMM! I agree that they are rather hard to see detail in them due to the color scheme. Nice idea they had, though. And Madison - I see you're collection of Spanish notes is growing very nicely! Congrats to you both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 how are you? how is your collection doing? I'm doing well, my friend! I'm sure you've been good too? My African collection is slowing, as it is to be expected I suppose. But I am bolstering some of my U.S. in the meantime. I am xpecting an experimental (red S) note soon. I'm always on the lookout for the Spain P126 1 Peseta, P127 5 Pesetas, P129 5 Pesetas too. Harder to find in decent quality than I expected, but I have come close a few times on each one... just waiting for that UNC one to show up (and at a decent price ).

Dave Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 The Red S: To make printing more economical, there were several types of currency that were experimental issues. Of these, the latest we are aware of is the famous Web Press notes that were printed on a different type of printing press. These were last printed in series 1988A, 1993 and 1995. But there are several other types out there as well. Some are denoted only by the series year and the alpha characters on either side of the banknote, such as the 1928B YB and ZB banknotes. But in WWII (and in this notes case), there was a red R and a red S printed on the lower right hand side of the front of the notes. 1,184,000 of each type R & S were printed and released into circulation. Evidently, there was no useable data to make the experiment worthwhile, but the nice R and S does make them sought after notes. I've tried digging up more information on the different details on the experiments, but have only came up with the 1928B when they switched to 75% linen and 25% cotton recipe.
