    It’s remarkable how much Carlos Gomes resembles Mark Twain.

    Cambodian riels. I see the exchange rate is about 4000 riels to the dollar, and US dollars are used as currency there. These notes are just for small change or a novelty. I have been there a few times. 2004 KH 500 r.jpg 2007 KH 2000 r.jpg 2014 KH 100 riel.jpg 2014 KH 500 riel.jpg

    Cambodia monetary system is so interesting.

    Its 4000 riel to one USD; and there are no circulating coins. So basically every transaction is done in multiples of USD, and small change is in riel.

    so if you were to get $1.25 in change, it would be 1 USD Note and 1 1000 riel note.

    smallest riel I got in change was 100, about 2.5 cents

    Here's my newest acquisition! I'm surprised it got circulated as much as it did before someone saved it.

    One of my favourite notes from that era, Bank of Ireland was actually headquartered in Dublin, but with the partition of Ireland in 1922 and the resultant creation of the currency commission in 1927 regulating bank issued notes Bank of Ireland could only issue "ploughman" notes in Ireland beginning in 1929 and could not use their own design notes in the Irish Free State. The earliest version of this particular note was issued in Dublin in June 1922, with more of a green tinted background than the later notes.

    The partitioning of Ireland and the introduction of the Free State and later Currency Commission and Ploughman issues coupled with the redefined note issue in Northern Ireland is an amazingly fascinating topic.

    Curiously as a collector of said notes, I find that in general the notes issued by banks headquartered in Dublin and London tend to have much more attractive designs than the Belfast headquartered banks which tend to be more uniform in blandness. And prices for said notes agree, National Bank and Bank of Ireland notes are priced much more dear than Belfast Banking, Ulster Bank etc.

    I really like the art work on that note. Reminds me of our (U.S.) currency.

    A well used note, but one with much history. The Irish Free State, Saorstát Éireann, had been proclaimed by the Anglo-Irish treaty with the United Kingdom as a dominion of the British Empire. What should have been an easy transition to nationhood was not. The reality was that the pro-treaty forces led by Michael Collins were opposed by the anti-treaty republicans led by Eamon de Valera and a short and violent civil war broke out in the south of Ireland. The pro-treaty forces prevailed, but Michael Collins was assassinated.

    This note was issued a couple of weeks prior to the start of the Irish civil war, surely a witness to that violent struggle that saw more people lose their lives than the war of independence. Bank of Ireland issued these notes in Dublin until 1927, then beginning in 1929 issued the "Ploughman" series as part of the Consolidated Banking Scheme until 1940. This design continued in use, but in the name of the Belfast branch until the design was modified beginning in 1933.
