Dave Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Woo Hoo! I got my notes from the Cayman Islands today! It's definitely worth getting them from the Central Bank.... I had to wait just under 2 months to get them, but the cost savings was worth it. The service was pretty good too. Let me know when they shipped it and was sent Registered mail and packaged very good. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Thanks MauMauNotes! Â I've been eyeing the latest Mexican notes myself. I'm sure to get them eventually. I do like that Fiji 50 with the vignette on the reverse of the ceremony of cession. I like their older notes as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saor Alba Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Nice notes, like the Jamaica, the HK, the Caymans etc.  Guatemala ~ Banco Occidente de Quetzaltenango    Sweden ~ Bohus Läns Enskilda Bank 10 Kronor 1879    Bohus Läns is a province in western Sweden, and was formerly part of the Kingdom of Norway, it's principal city is Uddevalla. This region was well known for herring fisheries during the 18th and 19th centuries, but light industry made inroads during the late 19th century. During the 19th century Swedish commercial banks issued their own notes, a privilege that existed until very early in the 20th century. This note was issued by Bohus Läns Enskilda Bank in Uddevalla and is notable for having been printed by Waterlow and Son's Engravers in London.

Saor Alba Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Sweden 10 Kronor 1968    Sweden has the unique distinction in Europe of having issued the first paper money in 1661 from Stockholms Banco in Stockholm. Curiously this first issue of paper money ominously foretold a situation common with banknote issues from there onwards - the bank failed in 1664. In 1668 the charter for the bank was passed onto Riksens Ständers Bank but this bank did not issue banknotes, but being authorised by the Swedish parliament, essentially acted as the central bank for the Swedish government. In reality though, legally the bank was not recognised as the central bank of Sweden until legislation was passed in 1897, which also resulted in granting the privilege of banknote issue solely to the newly named Sveriges Riksbank.  This commemorative note from 1968 commemorated the 300 anniversary of the charter of this bank - the figure of Svea representing the spirit of Sweden and she has traditionally appeared on Swedish banknotes. This note is enclosed in a commemorative folder, which is the reason the image is a bit off.  USA US Military Payment Certificate $5 Series 692    A now very scarce denomination especially in crisp uncirculated, this note has as it's main vignette Eve by engraver Edward R. Felver, and the reverse elk is conjectured to have been engraved by Len Buckley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMMM Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 That $5 Series 692 MPC is real nice. I have been looking for many years for one I could afford for a very long time. Very nice indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MauMauNotes Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 was there any MPC during E.Presley military service ? (58-60) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Nice notes Pickman and Saor Alba! Â As for the US MPC during the Elvis years, I found some in 1958 and in 1961. But as for the 1959 and 1960 I did not find reference to them in my catalogs... anyone else care to check? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saor Alba Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Elvis would have used the Series 541 MPC's that were in use in Europe from May 1958 - May 1961. Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve D'Ippolito Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 It's interesting to note that the 250 ruble note on the previous page of posts has a swastika on the reverse! (I've had one for quite some number of years.) It was issued by the Provisional government in 1917, well before the Nazis stole the symbol. Before it got trashed by association with them it was a "good luck" sign, originating in India (though I've also seen it on American "Indian" petroglyphs). There is a town in Ontario by the name of Swastika, founded in 1908, and they refuse to change the name, despite a lot of pressure from the provincial government in WWII and derision today. I rather admire that, actually: It's not their fault the symbol was so famously misused. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika,_Ontario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
