Owen Linzmayer Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 The IBNS's annual contest for the Bank Note of the Year remains open for nominations (last year’s winner was Faeroe Islands Pick 28). Any circulating bank note that was issued to the public for the first time in 2006 is eligible for the award. For a complete list of the rules, please visit www.theIBNS.org. Send your nominations to newsletter editor Owen Linzmayer or webmaster David White. Nominations for the award can be made up until January 31, 2007. Please note, only members of the IBNS may nominate a note for the award. However, I am interested in hearing what the collector community at large thinks as well, so I encourage everyone to use this forum to cast their unofficial ballots. To help everyone make well-informed choices, I have prepared a PDF document including images and descriptions of all the new notes issued in 2006. I am happy to send copies of this 1.2MB file to anyone who emails a request for same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bifrost Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 I like very much the new Macau BNU banknote series . But which one to chose Perhaps the 100 patacas is the best one, with the very atmospheric senator square pictured. // Joakim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Well, I've finally had some time to go over the packet that Owen sent. There were a lot of notes, but only a few could I consider because of the criteria. I finally ended up choosing the Bahamas 50 Dollars banknote. This is because it best met all of the listed criteria. I personally prefer the 20 dollar bankote to the 50 based on color and artistic merit, but it was alluded that the basic design of the 20 was issued before, with some changes made for 2006. There is no such claim of the 50 dollar banknote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuldFartte Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Several really nice looking notes in that bunch, but my favorites are the 200 Lei from Romania, and the 10,000 Ringitt from Brunei. Thanks for sending the PDF !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sending the PDF !!! I'm curious, what exactly about those notes did you like? Overall design, oddity, colors, security features?
