<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 25494590, member: 4626&quot;]For when actually existing banknotes just aren&#039;t enough...</p><p><br /></p><p>Most of these I&#039;ve found randomly browsing eBay for banknotes to add to my collection.&nbsp; I admit I initially rolled my eyes at such things, but some of them are just interesting, amusing, great artwork, or some combination thereof.&nbsp; I have to concede the point that many of them look better than some real banknotes I&#039;ve collected (or wanted to collect).&nbsp; Some of them could have been real ones, honestly.&nbsp; I don&#039;t actively seek them out often, but sometimes one will catch my eye and I get the &quot;I got to have that&quot; impulse.</p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s not a &quot;fantasy&quot; or &quot;novelty&quot; category on the site I use to catalog my collection, so I&#039;ve decided to start labeling my fantasy notes as &quot;exonumia&quot; which arguably they are.&nbsp; (I suppose they&#039;re the paper equivalent of medals.)&nbsp; Some of them don&#039;t even pretend to be from actually existing countries.&nbsp; I was debating whether the ones that do pretend to be banknotes of a real country should still be categorized under that country, but &quot;exonumia&quot; seemed to be the best way to separate them from real banknotes that are actually legal tender in that country (or at least used to be at some point in the past).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
