[QUOTE="Dave M, post: 3185082, member: 17469"]Thanks! For a catalog I would use The Banknote Book, for which you can just buy the individual countries. If you're looking at Morocco, it probably won't be long before you're ogling notes from Algeria and Tunisia as well :) There will be plenty of show-stoppers along the way, so don't get your heart set on a complete collection. Not only just looking at the cost, but even with an unlimited budget you just won't find many of these notes available. The general category of "banknotes printed in France" is what I collect, and is a fairly common desire since they all have a familiar look. If that's your intent, the Banknote Book lists the printer of the notes, and you will quickly see and learn to distinguish those, and possibly they are the only ones you want. That's common across all the French Colonies, where Bank of France printed notes but also there were locals, or of course notes printed when the country was not under French rul.
