    Thanks for this comment! I was wondering about the exact definition of "Obsolete banknote" and now I know. So all of the large-size US Government-issued Notes don't qualify. I was thinking that all of the pre-Small bills were no longer valid at face value.

    I reserve the right to post this in the new pickups thread as soon as I start my overrunning of that thread, but everyone posting the 1 and 5 makes me have a nervous tick without anyone showing the deuce...

    As the topic is written, it's about obsolete currency, not just limited to a specific country or just limited by definition to the term obsolete banknotes. In fact, the thread topic as written, does not even require the currency to be demonetized. None of these restrictions are stipulated. I would say post what you have. The only limit is; it should be paper money since that is the forum chosen. Otherwise coins, tokens or even whale bones could be defined as currency.

    "Obsolete currency" does have a specific meaning in the U.S. paper money field, which I mentioned earlier in the thread. But perhaps we should leave it to the OP to define what he meant -- Scotts1, can you narrow it down? Are you looking for foreign as well as U.S. notes?

    I had US obsolete currency in mind when I created this thread, but feel free to post obsolete currency from other countries if you would like!

    Here are three foreign notes from the time period of U.S. obsoletes. These were printed in 1852 but never issued. They were put out by Hungarian revolutionary Lajos Kossuth (you can see his printed signature) with hopes of using them to help raise funds for a revolt against the Austria-Hungarian Hapsburg Empire.

    For a short period in 1848 Kossuth had successfully established an independent Hungarian government. It was crushed the following year and Kossuth went into exile, seeking support in Europe and the U.S. Though he became a popular speaker, the cause never gained ground and the notes became nothing more than historic remainders.
