see323 Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Nice, is it De La Rue? Not sure. I don't see any small print on the notes. I just notice that even though both Macau notes were dated on 9 Dec 1991, one of the signature are different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Got this in today: 1934 $10 Dallas Branch with Light Green Seal - a key combination. I was pretty lucky on this one. It's one of those things that you weren't expecting to get but was not able to pass up on the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottishmoney Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Coahuila is a Mexican state that is just to the south of the US state of Texas, in fact Texas was originally part of the Mexican state of Coahuila y Tejas until Texas split off and became an independent republic in 1835. The largest city and capital city is Saltillo, and the region is known for mining and more recently manufacturing of automobiles. El Banco de Coahuila engaged American Banknote Company of New York to print this lovely series of banknotes ca. 1910. This note features Ceres as an allegory of agriculture. Curiously this vignette was also used on several Ecuadorian 5 Sucres notes, and a Russian 100 Ruble note in 1918. Like all private bank issues from Mexico, the bank was made to stop issuing it's own currency when the Mexican Revolution engulfed all of Mexico, and the issues of paper money were made a privilege of Banco de Mexico exclusively beginning in 1920. And there are several more recent Mexican acquisitions here: More Mexican Acquisitions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

see323 Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Nice HK note See, it has to be one of the last dated notes with the Bradbury imprint on it. Thanks for the comment and info. The note is still in HK and should be on the way. More than twenty years ago, I have a similiar piece with a much sought after solid 8s. I kept for a few months before I sold it away gaining a profit of $150 SGD. Not a bad investment back then. This piece will stay in my collection for a very long time.

Balaji Murthy Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 I love em'. If Zim wasn't such a real disaster, it would make a great comedy TV show. I had to get some as well, my mind has trouble with that many zero's. I scored some old and interesting paper bits from India recently, I would say the condition is PGN, pretty good nick. Oh Ok then, they appear to be in uncirculated but aged condition. This is a WW2 issue cardboard coin, 1 Anna. I guess there was a shortage of copper for such things. The next note is from a series, that I don't have all of yet. A little information about these was on the auction ad. India Jaipur Princely State Jawaharlal Nehru 5 rupees Smarak Kosh. Jawaharlal Nehru was a great Indian statesman. I'm not sure what Smarak Kosh refers to. The bigger pics are here, they are both on the same page. Old Indian paper currency I am hoping that there might be a wonderful resource somewhere for some more of the history on these. Kevin. Hi Kevin, The first item in your post certainly a genuine item. The definitive reference for any India notes and other related items (e.g. the cash coupon above) is the Standard Reference Guide to Indian Paper Money by Kishore Jhunjhunwala. Here is a brief excerpt from the book (slightly paraphrased) "During WW II as British faced reverses, there was a severe shortage of metallic supplies and small change was hit worst. In response, many small Princely states issued coupons to replace low denomination coins. Although some have questioned their legality, they were indeed state issued and appropriately regulated as would normal currency. They were widely circulated and remained possibly current from 1941 till 1946." The second one is definitely not a currency item, although it quite possibly can be a collectible in its own right. It is a fundraising ticket for a Nehru Memorial - Smarak is Hindi for memorial and Kosh literally means treasury. Nehru died in 1964, while India became independent in 1947. Independent India's currency was first issued in 1949, so this is clearly not currency. Hope this helps. - Balaji Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
