Message:: [QUOTE="Dave L, post: 1081467, member: 26285"]Those are a couple of very nice Yugo's! Too bad they aren't printed that way still, eh?  As for the Chinese notes, I should add that the one I posted is very similar in nature to the old US Broken Banknotes/Obsoletes. They were issued locally, and some are remainders, some not. The purple and red stamps are actually seals - not quite chopmarks, but seals from the issuing bank and government agencies attesting to the authenticity and also serving as a form of security feature: Those that appear to be half off the paper have a 'receipt' at the issuing authority. The rarity is as yet unknown, as the market is still primarily at a trickle. I have a couple of sources, but even they are 'hit and miss' on the cool looking ones that I am after - those with great vignettes. As yet, the most I've spent on a Chinese note is 38 US dollars. Most were in the low to mid 20 dollar range. Let's watch those prices rocket off like those French notes, eh?[/QUOTE]
