Here's one I got recently. Union Bank of Burma 1958 ND Issue P48 - 10 Kyats Front: Portrait of General Aung San with cap at right Back: Elephant lifting log at center Watermark: General Aung San with cap Size: 145 x 82 mm Staple Holes: Older notes are rarely found without having at least two tiny holes on the left side of the note made by staples, stick pins, or stitching having been done during age old accounting practices before and after a note is released to circulation. Bogyoke (General) Aung San (13 February 1915-19 July 1947) was a Burmese revolutionary, nationalist, and founder of the modern Burmese army, the Tatmadaw. He was instrumental in bringing about Burma's independence from British colonial rule, but was assassinated six months before its final achievement. He is recognized as the leading architect of independence, and the founder of the Union of Burma. Affectionately known as "Bogyoke" (General), Aung San is still widely admired by the Burmese people, and his name is still invoked in Burmese politics to this day. Aung San was the father of Nobel Peace laureate and opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi, who has been under house arrest for almost two decades.

Yes. I like it because it is not POC like most of them, it would otherwise appear as though it was an unissued remainder. Most of the time with these they were either overprinted SPECIMEN or POC'ed and I really really really do not like POC notes they are damaged to me.
You beat me to it! I was going to post the same note, but I saw you already did. Ok, I'll go with this one: French Pacific Territories P-1 - Institut D'Emission D'Outre-Mer 500 France Note, 1985-1996 ND Issue Obverse: Canoe and an outrigger sailing, coastal landscape of the Marquesas Islands (Polynesia), bust of a young Polynesian fisherman, fish, corals and coral polyps, other underwater flora and fauna Reverse: Bearded Polynesian man from the island of Uvea (Ouvéa) on Loyalty Islands, New Caledonia (Iles Loyautés, Nouvelle Calédonie), landscape rocks representing Hienghène (New Caledonia), palms, conch shells, wooden carving, harpoons, branch of mangroves, shellfish Watermark: Woman "La Marianne" wearing the Phrygian cap, capital letters "RF" Size: 150 x 80 mm
