[QUOTE="GeorgeM, post: 1458090, member: 28550"]I went out to do some Storage Unit auctions today, got separated from the group, and found a Half Price Books instead. While browsing in there, I found an inexpensive copy of the Standard Catalog of World Paper Money: 1961-Present (16th edition). So, I pulled out my rag pile and checked to see if there's anything particularly valuable in there. Is there a prefix for labelling currency numbers found in that book? For example, a coin with the label 3 would technically be KM-3. Anyway, here are my tentative ID's on these bills: 179e Portugal 100 Escudos, 12/3/1987, (there are 8 signature varieties) worth ~$3.75 179f, Portugal 100 Escudos, 12/24/1988 (I have 2 of the 6 signature varieties) ~$3.25 + $3.25 93a, Peru 10 Soles de Oro, 2/23/1968, ~$0.50 196, Greece 100 Drachmai, 1/10/1967, ~$1 374g, Great Britain 1 Pound, 1970-1977, ~$4[/QUOTE]
