    Does Indonesia use Chinese characters on their money? I've only ever seen the Western alphabet on their coins.

    doug444 STAMPS and POSTCARDS too!

    See eBay #321272578101 You will find the 5 for about $2.50 plus postage, apparently issued about 1971.

    Yes that is the same auction which Funkee posted a link to earlier however it does not really tell me much and we only have the sellers word for what they are.

    The top one is a bad rendition of a Central Bank of China customs gold unit note. The characters across the top are the name of the bank.

    These were made by A&BC Chewing Gum Ltd. in the UK in 1971 as premiums sold with their chewing gum. All the notes in the series are knock-offs of genuine notes with fairly obvious differences.

    Now you also have my word for what they are. Or you can look up A&BC banknotes and read about them for yourself.

    Ah Lettow, I knew I could rely on you :D
    ABC Chewing Gum Company, They used to make the Confederate notes back in 1964 when I was a kid, I`ve never seen these Asian copies before or any others apart from the early Confederate bills. Thankyou.[​IMG]
