Currency forum?

Well I would like to see some posts about currency too...even though I don't collect it that much I still pick up some pieces every now and then....

I found a RED seal $5 at the bank once and a $50 1950-E for face...I understand that it is worth more than $50

About the only paper money I buy is the Silver Certificates..I would like to do a set someday.
I would also like to buy some bank notes from Kentucky but it hard to decide how much I'm willing to spend!

Actually Jody, I was hoping to tempt people to show more of that paper stuff, if you know what I mean. To love life is to live life and to live life is to respect it and all the beauty that it may behold.

 

I do have a few currency items and as with my coins most of them are Canadian.
There seems to be a lot more interest in Canada in serial numbers and one of my interests is "radar" numbers. Here is my only U.S. radar note. A 2 number radar like this if it were Canadian would be worth considerably more than I paid for this one.

Foreign Currency

Does Foreign Currency have a different place on the forum for talking about and showing photo's..?

Feel free to post pics of any currency here. I am sure that many of us would love to learn more about this area of numismatics.

Hi again everyone I thought I would show you a picture of my favorite foreign banknote. I never posted a picture before so I hope it works.

The note shown is a five peso note that was issued by Mexico in July 1970. Inflation hit not too long afterward and made it obsolete. I gave it a nickname in the early 1990's and promoted it well.

The "Gypsy Girl" note was produced by the American Banknote Company from engraved plates. The quality shows it. It has a nice intricate detail with raised elements due to the printing process. The portrait is of a real Gypsy girl. This is one of the notes that I fell in love with at first glance.

It's listed as P714a in the Picks book
It was selling for about $.50 in 1991 but current values put them at about $4.00-$5.00

Beautiful note. Now that you posted it, you need to tell us about it.

 

Very nice note, catman.

Thanks for sharing the pic and the info.
Learned something new today. Good deal.
