<p>[QUOTE="krispy, post: 848338, member: 19065"]Thank you De Orc! Glad you checked out the thread. I've been posting a few world currency threads this and last week to help bring some attention to world currency on the Paper Money forum. I welcome all the info that can be gathered as I am just setting out into a more serious and focused attempt at collecting paper money. I've also checked out your collection at Banknotebank and saw quite a few nice things, especially in the Hungarian and Italian notes sections that I liked.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for how I shot pics of the watermark on the French note above, I simply propped up a sheet of clear Plexiglas, placed a thin sheet of paper over that and the note on the sheet of paper. Then, I focused light from an LED lamp under the Plexiglas, the paper worked to diffuse the intensity of the lamp and just enough to focus as close as my point-n-shoot digital camera's macro function could get in to frame the subject, the watermark.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
