DampPatch 0 Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 Hi, I'm a new member here. I just wondered if anyone based in the UK remembered an old magazine called 'Money of the World'? I got the first issue and it is what got me started on banknote collecting. My (perhaps slightly naive) question is: Does anybody know if the banknotes that were included with the magazine genuine or replicas? If they are replicas then they look reasonably good to a novice, with watermarks and fibres in the paper. There was a Mozambique - 100 Escudos note a Poland - 50 Zlotych note and a Peruvain note with the first issue. Thanks for any replies. Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites

brophypt 0 Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Hi DampPatch, I collected the whole series aswell as a child. I thought it was fantastic but it was strange that the full series does not seem to be in much demand (when I check eBay for prices it is selling at). How did you get on?

Balaji Murthy 0 Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Sounds quite interesting. Can anyone share some scans from an issue or two? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NumisDave 0 Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Couple of scans attached from Issue 1. Let me know if you want any more info. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NumisDave 0 Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 And a couple more . . . . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Balaji Murthy 0 Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 He NumisDave, many thanks for posting the scans. Looks like a nice resource, perhaps very well suited to kids. Is it still being published? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NumisDave 0 Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 No, not being published any more. From what I can tell, looks like 100 magazines were published as a fortnightly series starting around 15 years ago. Very well suited to kids, but as there seems to be little published numismatic information around that covers basic worldwide collecting, also well-suited to new-to-the-hobby grown-ups as well!

Lorna 0 Posted August 20 Report Share Posted August 20 Hi Annette, I have the majority of the rest of the collection if you're interested? I was just about to get rid of them, so would be much happier if they go to a new home! Kind regards, Lorna Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John M 0 Posted October 15 Report Share Posted October 15 Hi Lorna, if you haven’t got rid of the magazine collection I would like to express an interest in taking them from you, I broke off my subscription while collecting and am keen to try to advance my copies. regards john Quote Link to post Share on other sites
