Whoops, I guess Google just found out that I like Banknote Auctions somehow? It came up in my Google news feed.
Whoops, I guess Google just found out that I like Banknote Auctions somehow? It came up in my Google news feed. Not too recent a story, but it probably saw a posting of my new zealand notes on a public forum on FB and that was the only news on that subject. There may be something in the Dominion Post about the sale. IDK what happened?
The article states that it is the first note off the New Zealand presses; is it fake news? Who the hell knows these days.? I like the note design but I would never pay that much money for a commodity not based on intrisic value. My tastes would be considered plebian compared to whomever bid on that item. Now, precious metals would be a lot less risk. Maybe in the future we will discover that we are all living on the only planet with trees. Until then, it would be almost impossible to fork over even a grand for anything less ephemeral than a platinum coin. Then again I HAVE been known to go crazy over a gold certificate. I guess they'd have to have to send me back in time to that day and give me quite a bit of extra cash. Whoever they are. I do love Banknotes, mainly for the artwork. But my absolute limit is 500 dollars unless the note that is of a design that was only printed on a maximum of three 16 subject sheets, was known to have circulated, and then was cancelled.

I was just wondering. I don't know how they do it in New Zealand, but here I think the prefix letters are alphabetical. So there would be an A000001 and then after that series got to 999999 there would be B000001 etc. ..... Z000001 The article doesnt mention it, so I was just wondering how do we know this was really the first note? Why start with Z?
To tell you the truth, I don't really know..... I know that prior to 1934 NZ had all its currency printed on Bank of England notes. I will research it if you are really interested....? I do have a copy of the SCWP around here somewhere... How about in a couple of days, I will break it down for all of us who are interested. I'll find out. You got my wheels turning... Am also interested why their very first banknote wasn't put into their equivalent of the Smithsonian, the Museum in Wellington, the name is something like Te Paapa National Museum. NZ is gaining ground on the English pound. Last I checked a US dollar is worth 1.42 in NZ, and is worth. 78 cents in England. When I was there a buck was worth almost 2NZD's
Estimate 50,000 to 100000 - sold for $35,200 including buyer's premium - https://auctions.stacksbowers.com/lots/view/3-56311 Not fake news - well a little puffery.
True it, it did used to be this way... under COPE This is true only for 1 dollar bills since In the middle of series 2009 (2012-present) when, since the LEPE printing proces was invoked. I think this is what you are saying..... "from about 1990 to the present, the BEP has printed $2 through $20 notes (and until recently, $1 notes as well) in COPE print runs of 200,000 sheets of 32 notes, or 6,400,000 notes total." .... IN RE: COPE procedure... " ....in practice, the sheets within each print run are actually numbered backward, so that the highest numbers will end up at the bottom of the printed stack. Thus the "first" sheet mentioned here is actually the last sheet to be printed, and vice versa." SOURCE : www.uspapermoney.info/general/number.html
