As you know, I’m a coin guy, but a recent auction lot included banknotes, and since the auction price was lower than the face value of the coins themselves, it seemed a good buy. They’re mostly foreign notes (with the exception of a beat-up US dollar (says 1935, but that can’t be right, right?) and okay CDN dollar). Any idea what I should do with these? The Canadian one is in really good condition except for the top edge (some ‘ruffling’), and says it’s a 73. I can never tell with notes if that’s just the series year or the printing year though. Anyways, any advice is appreciated. There are also lots of beat-up notes from other countries: - 1962 10 Jeon Koreon note in pretty good condition - 1930 50 ‘custom gold units’ Chinese note in okay condition - Yearless 500 ‘something’ Brazilian note in rough condition - 1993 100 something Russian note in rough condition - 1991 5 something, something Slavic note in okay condition - Yearless 50 Kwacha Zambian note in what I’d imagine, being African currency, is okay condition, but what would be rough in North America… I’m not even sure these are worth the paper they are printed on… Any tips / advice / help in rough value / dates / etc?
I'm not much of a bill collector myself, but I'm curious about the 1962 Korean note....OK...looked it up. It appears the 10 Jeon was only issued in 1962. You can check out a pretty cool pictoral history of Korean money(1950 - current) at this site: http://aes.iupui.edu/rwise/countries/korea_south.html
Yeah, that's the exact note, and it's in fairly good condition as well. I'm pretty sure these aren't worth anything. I just bought the lot for the coins' face value, so these were a bonus. Just curious, since I know next to nothing about bills and even less about foreign ones.
