Recato Posted December 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Now this note I can honestly use to wipe my nose. Worth nothing and I think obsolete due to the stuff happening in Zimbabwe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Nice notes, Recato! I think you'd find a better tissue fo ryour nose than that Zimbabwe note, though! And don't fret about the 'modest collection' you say you have, either. . . I can remember when I had only one worn French banknote for many, many years. It is still my favorite piece ever because of that fact. Thanks for posting the images! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They took away quite a few zeros at the back of the denomination to ease their headaches. As for your modest collection, as long as it is a collection, it is an important achievement for anyone. Whatever values and condition of your banknotes, they have sentimental value that is far greater than the actual value. I am sure, you have bought this Turkey note in South Africa since you mentioned it's worth in South African denomination. I have a Straits Settlement 1935 $1 KGV banknote which has many holes on the note, but the sentimental value greatly outweigh it's worth since it was given to me by my grandfather who passed away in 1976. That was a long time when I was still a small boy. I am still keeping it with me today. Keep up the achievement in your collection. Soon you will find your collection becoming a large and interesting one in the years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
