These particular examples are from Tunisia, they were created out of a shortage of coinage and were printed locally and placed in to circulation October 1945

Again not much value here book prices are about $5.00 in new condition.

 

Finally got one of those Zimbabwe inflation notes. It's not the highest denominated, but is the highest denominated in my collection!

 

Oh that's awesome.

 

Wish I could post a picture. found a 1966* $100.00 today *00022303A, D2, D1, 7 . On rev red inked stamped. Condition "F"+

 

where did you find that baby! Congrats

 

At a local coin shop. There was another one, but I chose this one. That completes the group that I have.

 

nothing special here.

 

I paid $7 for this, and did NOT expect it to be so tiny...

 

Nice

 

Finally got one of those forearm-sized Russian notes!

 

My dad thought my collection was too drab so he figured he would inject some color into it with a bunch of polymer notes!

 

I have been collecting $2 FRN First Day of Issue with a postmarked stamp for years. I have never seen one with the 200 Years of Postal Service stamps (Scott number 1573 and 1574), postmarked Monterey, MA. I am happy to add it to my collection.

 

The Romanian note is one of my favorites. Seldom do we see science or technology depicted on banknotes.

Front: Reproduction of the Solar System at right depicting the eclipse, arms at upper left, tranparent windows at upper left and lower right — view against black background to better see the transparent windows

Back: Map of Romania having the colors of the national flag (blue, yellow, and red). The map marks the main points where the solar eclipse was visible in a path moving along the map from west to east.

Size: 143 x 62 mm

In celebration of the total solar eclipse of August 11, 1999, the National Bank of Romania (BNR) decided to issue a commemorative two thousand Romanian lei banknote. Since it was the last eclipse of the millennium, the denomination was chosen to be 2000 in respect to the upcoming year.

The banknote was designed by Romanian artist Nicolae Siăftoiu, who is credited with the designs on which all Romanian banknotes printed since the 1989 Revolution are based.

 

That's awesome information! Thanks a bunch. I really like the note too; didn't know it was so special!

Gyanendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev (born 7 July 1947) reigned as the final monarch of the Kingdom of Nepal. During his life, he has held the title of King twice: between 1950 and 1951, as a child when his grandfather Tribhuvan was forced into exile in India; and from 2001 to 2008, following the Nepalese royal massacre.

King Birendra and most of his family (including Queen Aiswarya) were massacred at a royal dinner on 1 June 2001. Published reports from eyewitnesses and the results of an investigation carried by a two man committee made up of the Chief of the Supreme Court Keshav Prasad Upadhaya and the speaker of the House of Representatives Taranath Ranabhat, confirmed his eldest son and heir, Dipendra, was the gunman. Two days after the royal massacre, Dipendra was also mortally wounded by an allegedly self-inflicted gunshot to the side of the head. After the murder of his father, Dipendra officially became king for three days as he lingered in a coma. After the death of Dipendra, King Birendra's brother, Gyanendra, then became King. There is some speculation that Gyanendra was behind a conspiracy.

The banknotes issued during this period have the same basic design as those of King Birendra whose portrait was simply replaced by that of his younger brother and successor Gyanendra. The low values of 1 and 2 rupees, and the special values of 25 and 250 rupees were not issued any more.

The legends found on the last issues of Gyanendra revert to Nepal sarakar ("Nepalese Government"), thus omitting the reference to the king.

 

For your Vietnam 2003 Issue 10000 Đồng note:

Starting in 2003, Vietnam replaced its cotton banknotes with plastic polymer banknotes, which it claims will save money. Many newspapers in the country criticized these changes, citing mistakes in printing and alleging that the son of the governor of the State Bank of Vietnam benefited from printing contracts. The government clamped down on these criticisms by banning two newspapers from publishing for a month and considering other sanctions on other newspapers.
