Nothing systematic about this batch... Oceania's better represented in my collection now though! These are all nice and colorful. Think I'll forgo the usual commentary on each individual note and let the notes speak for themselves this time lol... Samoa, 2 tala, 2002 Uzbekistan, 25 sum, 1993 Costa Rica, 5000 colones, 2005 Fiji, 5 dollars, 2007 Cook Islands, 3 dollars, 1987 Yemen, 100 rials, 1993 Lebanon, 50 pounds, 1988 Colorful animals, great landcape scenes... got to love these!
If you could get Yemen to do the naked women on the Cook Osland bills, that would be something... Ruben
It's my favorite of all the banknotes they currently circulate... love the colorful jungle scene on the reverse. The 2000 colones note is nice too... seriously considering replacing my rather worn one with an uncirculated version in my next batch of notes. The 10,000 is somewhat underwhelming IMO... nice volcano scenes on the front but arranged as if they're a stack of postcards! They should blow one of them up to the full size of the note and make that the reverse at least. Passing on that one (not worth the about $40 it goes for these days IMO.) Um, fat chance of that lol... Is some story behind that bill apparently; in some Polynesian folk story Ina (woman on the note) is trying to get a ride across the ocean for some reason... convinces a shark to give her a ride. She gets thirsty, so plans to drink the coconut milk out of a coconut she brought with her (no idea how she holds a coconut and holds onto the shark, as she obviously doesn't have any pockets lol...). To crack it open, she bangs the coconut on the shark's head... the shark then dumps her off and swims away. Moral of the story: when someone's giving you a ride, don't hit them on the head!
LOL , no just a dirty old man . To be truthfull the shark I liked , the woman was badly drawn , and looked , how to put this , ugly . rzage:kewl::whistle:
