Regarding P153, it was also the first note France produced with the raised dots over the serial number to help blind people determine what note it...
Very interesting to hear. I'd assumed they all were put in a trash bin at the end of the war, or melted down to make cans for Orangina :)
I only have this one, a 2F coin termed "Philadelphia" minted for Free France during WWII while much of France was under German control using...
Typo, sorry :)
I'll take a shot at your question, even though I'm not a collector of serial numbers. Collectors always want to collect something that's rare, or...

I would tell him he's only kidding himself if he calls this an investment. If he wants his grandkids to have a bit of money for college or...
It's probably been over a decade that I've been looking to complete this set of "Marianne de Walhain" notes, and just recently I was happy to pick...
This note is a cutting error, ie the note was cut so that the design is not well-centered on the paper (ignoring the discussion of how far off...
Ah, gotcha, thanks. As soon as you mention horses I see I'm not the first to come up with this brilliant idea... :)
