<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Daggarjon, post: 695851, member: 4230&quot;]I stand corrected <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> i dont refference the coin catalogs very often these days, so that might explain my error lol</p><p><br /></p><p>for currency catalogs, its true there are dozens and more of different catalog systems, but what i was getting at was this.... in the US most folks would prefer to use the Friedberg book for US notes, but alot of the same notes are listed in Krauss. So for folks in countries outside the US, they might use the Pick numbers to attribute their US notes. As being from the US, we might want a more in depth numbering system for our US note collections - so we use Friedberg (which i believe is the largest numbering system in use for US notes (not counting specialty collections like MPC&#039;s and the like), but i could be wrong). But both numbering systems, weather the Pick or the Friedberg, although two different numbers, refference the same notes (almost, since krauss doesnt get too deep). The same will hold true for other countries. Yes, the Pick catalogs usually only skim the surface of every country - but they hit every country and list notes from each (no other catalog does this, yet). Spain has their own catlog for Spanish notes similar to friedberg, Icland has one, Italy, France, Egypt,&nbsp; Syria, Canada, ect... So while i agree there is no &#039;universal&#039; numbering system in use, i would say the Pick numbering system is the most widely used for world notes. Anytime i see world notes - 99.9% are listed with the Pick number. There are times they are also listed with another catlog numbering system, but i never see a note listed without the Pick number and with and different catalog number. This to me makes it seem that yes the Pick numbering system is the most widely used.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
