Cayman Islands: Are a fun nation to collect since they have a few odd denominations & great designs. The 1970's series only gets a bit expensive...
Thanks @LakeEffect! Originally I wanted this Commemorative $25.00 but it was both out of reach & rarely listed -so I shifted my focus on the...
I have this P-187 500 Escudos note! I'm actually surprised they're not on more nations (but I really haven't searched that hard). [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I started collecting Bank of Canada notes 50 years ago, as a young lad delivering our local newspapers. My collection started like many...
Great idea @Troodon! When I started collecting, collecting animal motifs was the furthest thing from my mind. A couple years later, I realized...
The British Caribbean (British Guiana, Trinidad & Tobago plus Barbados) used notes issued by the "Currency Board of the British Caribbean...
If you are referring to this P-70 20 Pesos then your guess is as good as mine. If you scroll down on the Numista link you'll note that it has a...
JEEZ, I nearly forgot one of my favourite countries (& one that my mum used to gift me souvenirs). The 50 Cent & $1.00 notes she brought back...
Cash has always accounted for about 40-50% of transactions in the past. It never was the main way we paid for things but opponents of cash (The...
Here's another note with an elephant @Troodon. The 100 Baht from Thailand (P-89). Some of the other Thai notes have elephants featured as well....

-Yes, you're correct: that was why I posted that 1935 $20 note. It is a small seal 1935 $20 (the most accessible example) but still very tough...
The easiest QEII nation to acquire (less $ & in higher grades) was Belize: [ATTACH] But a bit more tricky (going back a decade) were the British...
Yes- fortunately & one of the reasons some of the higher denominations go for a pretty penny today (these mid-80's series were expensive for...
I have heard other collectors experience that problem: the perils of uploading updates in software (I suspect). Every time I updated my software I...
The dark cloud of hyperinflation: Imagine if we had to deal with that (000 lopped off our notes- a $1000 becoming the value of $1.00) & even the...
Mexico is a fun country to collect. Great, if have you travelled there & there are few tougher ones (sleepers, like you mentioned) that still...
It's a bit overpriced considering how recent it was released (2005). You might want to get a later revised version (like SteveinTampa posted) or...
I ask that question all the time. Just picked this one up from Peru (2 images of different planes + Pilot):[ATTACH]
Not an "inking error:" definitely post-print damage (either light or chemical). From what I have seen in the past 50+ years of collecting, I'd go...
