<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 374387, member: 4626&quot;]OK it&#039;s official... all my notes, all 94 of them, are finally up!&nbsp; Woo-hoo!&nbsp; That was a lot of scanning lol... now I just need to add more notes as I get them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Check it out!&nbsp; So far the 2 major categories are US $2 bills and WW2 era Japanese notes.&nbsp; Also a handful of notes in the &quot;Dragon Collection&quot; (plan to designate them as such in the descriptions lol).</p><p><br /></p><p>P.S.&nbsp; Decided to reassign the Japanese occupation notes to the occupied territories (whatever they&#039;re currently recognized as) for sake of consistency; notes issued by colonial powers are still listed in the colonized country, and although Japan rules these areas temporarily, they were still &quot;local&quot; currencies, abeit for a realtively short time (and basically became worthless when the Japanese were kicked out lol...).&nbsp; History is what it is, I&#039;m not going to try to impose any judgements on it by insisting these notes are purely &quot;Japanese&quot; and not the notes of the occupied areas.</p><p><br /></p><p>Euro notes I decided to just assign to whatever country happened to print them (you can tell from the first letter in the serial, which corresponds to the country which issued it) despite the fact they&#039;re accepted as legal tender anywhere that accepts Euros.&nbsp; I treat Euro coins the same way (though they&#039;re more obvious where they&#039;re issued lol... as each country uses unique obverses for their Euro coins.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Last personal policy I came up with is to keep dating to whatever is on the note, even if that doesn&#039;t actually correspond with the actual year issued (often the case with US notes) for sake of simplicity, as often the actual year of issue is difficult or impossible to determine.&nbsp; In the case of undated notes or notes where the date is difficult to determine, I try to make a reasonable estimation, usually researching the note design to get a ballpark figure or use what I know about when the note was acquired to give a reasonable estimation of its date.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anywho-- take a look!&nbsp; Will hopefully be added more to it from time to time... will call attention to any new additions here with new threads.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
