    These don't get out much - my interest was due to the fact my Dad worked in Sierra Leone between 1942-56. Would almost certainly recognise it - bit late to ask now though! Better late than never I guess.

    Any members got other examples of colonial currency?

    Cool note.
    This is the only colonial currency I have:

    -I'm a big fan of colonial currency but I just don't buy that much of it (partly b/c I don't see much & partly b/c its beyond my budget). (Nice BWA 20 Bob BTW @mikebell!)

    I used to own this 50 Francs from Rwanda-Burundi:

    This issue lasted for 2 years!

    Finally got the small brother to the above. Quite a bit scarcer, no more pricey.
