I'll start off with the best quality. This is the only note that was not in circulation. My other notes were all collected in rural villages in Zimbabwe, and Malawi, so the rest are not in very good condition and some are in terrible condition. I'm just waiting for my battery to recharge, to take more pics. I know very little about these notes so please feel free to comment, on them. Thanks.   12-05-2008, 11:57 AM   #2 (permalink) dobermann Member   Join Date: Dec 2008 Location: Taiwan Posts: 54 Here's 2 more, I have a lot of notes, and new at posting pics, so please bare with me till I work out the best way.   12-05-2008, 12:03 PM   #3 (permalink) De Orc P & R COMMISSAR     Join Date: Oct 2005 Location: London.

Most of the notes I was offered were falling apart, I bought about 10% of the notes I saw.   12-06-2008, 05:52 AM   #7 (permalink) De Orc P & R COMMISSAR     Join Date: Oct 2005 Location: London. UK Posts: 8,131 My Mood: Ok so some of them are not in the finest of condition but I will tell you this I would be only to happy to add them to my African collection, another I have never seen is the 10/- (ten shilling) that is super to see __________________ My Notes 1176 to date 02/06/09 http://www.banknotebank.com/?collection=De-Orc My Coins 2168 to date 02/06/09 http://www.omnicoin.com/?collection=De-Orc   12-06-2008, 07:05 AM   #8 (permalink) dobermann Member   Join Date: Dec 2008 Location: Taiwan Posts: 54 Thanks for the feed back De Orc. Which 10/- have you not seen, the Banda or queen Liz? I have quite a few more notes and will post pics of them soon. Funny thing most notes that I was offered were in shocking condition, I only purchased the better ones. In Africa most people carry their notes in their shoes for security reasons.   12-06-2008, 08:24 AM   #9 (permalink) dobermann Member   Join Date: Dec 2008 Location: Taiwan Posts: 54 Sorry the notes are so random and not in order.   12-06-2008, 08:31 AM   #10 (permalink) De Orc P & R COMMISSAR     Join Date: Oct 2005 Location: London.

Do you know why ? You have a very nice collection by the way.   12-07-2008, 12:12 PM   #15 (permalink) north49guy Coin and Paper Collector     Join Date: Oct 2008 Location: Ontario, Canada Posts: 725 My Mood: Wow very nice notes.
