-that's a beauty @ColonialCoinsUK ! The only note I have with Mayan ruins (other than my 25 Colones from El Salvador, posted earlier) is this $2...
-yes & Burma (now Myanmar), Cuba & other shady nations that have run their economies down into the ground by dictators. All these "usual suspects"...
A picture would help us help you. Typically, catalogues (or online sources) don't provide info on any note's particular prefix unless the prefix...
I would go with Steve's answer. Other serial numbers you mentioned (like 00001000, 00002000, or 00010000, 00020000) are thousand & ten thousand...
I did not know that about Belair (interesting). Thanks for sharing @Kashmir Pulaski Here's my two 2 Gourdes from Haiti (the first note is...
Very nice! My $10 & $20 would have been very soiled & circulated if I were looking for either (1991 $10 & 1989 $20) while I lived there. Here's a...
Very good! Lucky you! I worked in Jamaica for 2 years (1995/96) but the only notes that would have been worth keeping were the $100 (but that...
Nice birthday Penny: but shouldn't it be 01012001 ? I really like birthyear notes, like the one posted by @SteveInTampa, but rarely see them...

I agree with @Mountain Man & @SteveInTampa (any error must be dramatic) but I must say your images are very interesting to look at. They show the...
@ewomack, if you like $2, how about this one from 1937 (BoC 2nd series)[ATTACH] [ATTACH] ?
Nice $2 @ewomack ! Is the Saudi note a tough one? That's a drag it came with the fold (& I understand why you didn't send it back.. sometimes I do...
Try the bank note museum or NUNISTA. They're great online references. Top note looks to be from Russia, 2nd from Mauritania, 3rd from Afghanistan...

Unless you're a brick layer (or have loads of callouses on your fingertips), you should be able to feel a difference between a banknote & regular...
Great video & fun way to start off this topic (thanks for sharing @desiboyee :greedy:!) I started out with Canadian banknotes & this 1979 $20 was...
-I hear you @SteveInTampa: & I'm not a grade-rarity seeker myself but I found this UNC67 100/- from Austria irresistible after a 2018 honeymoon in...
It really takes a while for a collector to pick up the differences between a soft pressed banknote VS a hard (ironed) pressed note. Actually the...
Great advice above. I would just add that you may want to bring a friend (or have a fellow collector tow along). Why? A 2nd set of eyes is always...
