Johnny 1989 Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 maybe it's his keyboard/computer. u.s. keyboards are defaulted to show the '$' symbol, korean pc's show the won,and japanese show the yen. makes sense that a british one shows the pound. to use a different symbol than the default, you'd have to look up the code, like alt + 0163. sometimes i get lazy and just write out 'pounds' or 'euro' rather than look up the code. When I was writing it I kept thinking to myself press the "$" not the "£" Amended now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brett Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Today I drove down to a coin show about an hour away ( they don't have too many in NH) and i got the following Australia Unc 5, 10 and 20 dollar polymer notes (P51-53) 1946 Hungary 10,000 Milpengo (P126) Madagascar 5,000 Francs (P78) 1975 Rhodesia $10 (P33B) and a complete set of UNC New Zealand banknotes from 1992-1993 (the $5,10,20, 50 and 100) all with the same serial numbers AA000625 and all of it was just under $200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny 1989 Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 excellent notes! i especially like the reverse of that c-note. it's notes like these that are getting me to focus my collection a lot more to the u.s. side as opposed to the rest of world. i'm slowly crossing over...maybe temporarily, maybe not. as for display recommendations, i've been using fotki.com. i found it several years ago and liked it so much i decided to upgrade my free account to a paid one. it lets me show public photo galleries, password-protected galleries, and hidden private galleries. with unlimited account space, i loaded my entire collection to the public area and use my private area to host pictures for use other websites...like my avatar and signature bar. they also just added a new feature allowing for video. http://public.fotki.com/sanmiguel/world_banknotes/ another popular site i've seen in use is flickr. i've never used them, so i can't really comment on their features. but from what i've seen....it looks pretty snazzy! http://flickr.com/photos/tiffibunny/sets/72157594222116556/ also, there's always good ol' banknote bank! http://www.banknotebank.com/user_view.aspx?id=UkrainaDvi Great fotki collection My favourite private issue has to be the Welsh banknotes. Shame Wales don't issue their own banknotes like Scotland & Northern Ireland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Today I got home from my National Guard duty to find these two waiting for me: 1944 Morocco 10 Francs..... I really like older Morocco notes. And then this one from Equatorial Guinea - This series is my favorite from this country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottishmoney Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Great fotki collection My favourite private issue has to be the Welsh banknotes. Shame Wales don't issue their own banknotes like Scotland & Northern Ireland But someone in Wales indeed did issue banknotes beginning in the late 1960's: I had whole sets of them at one time, and then gave them to my brother. Now they go for ridiculous prices on eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottishmoney Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Interesting do you or anyone else have any history on these at all, I have never heard of them Indeed, Peter Symes has a whole treatise of them on his site: Black Sheep Company of Wales BTW, look at the rest of his site. It can be addictive, and you may have to come back to it. He has written a number of books, many of which are for sale on his site also - especially on British banknotes.

Scottishmoney Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 I am expecting a whole set of 1960's-1980's Chinese notes, a Spanish 100 Pesetas from 1925, and now a set of Suriname notes. Images to follow as soon as they arrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Aidan Work Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 I think that it is long overdue for the Black Sheep notes to be listed in Pick,as they did have the backing of the British Board of Trade at the time that they were issued.

Guest Aidan Work Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 I recently bought in 2 Trinidad & Tobago $1 banknotes,of which one depicts our Queen's portrait.The other is from the 2002 issue. I have also bought in 2 Jamaican $1 banknotes & a Jamaican $10 banknote. Another note I picked up was the 1982 50 Tambala from Malawi depicting Hastings K. Banda,who was a dictator in his own right.
