<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Notaphylic_C, post: 24695486, member: 130786&quot;][USER=56370]@KSorbo[/USER], I think some of the old placemat sized notes from France (&amp; overseas territories) are amazing too (500 Francs &amp; up post WW2 to the New Francs issues). Just try to get one without staple holes! Pre-1800 French Assignats were rampantly counterfeited as were the old Bernhard WW2 White series of pounds (see link below). Some of these notes really need to be authenticated! So there&#039;s a lot of older world notes out there that can be &quot;holy grails&quot; in VF EPQ &amp; up if you know where to find them. Too many were stapled, pinned or got toning/foxing back in the day.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you like counterfeits, you could go after the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Bernhard" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Bernhard" rel="nofollow">Operation Bernhard</a> types.&nbsp; Another cool note is the <a href="http://www.banknote.ws/COLLECTION/countries/AME/CUB/CUB0097.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.banknote.ws/COLLECTION/countries/AME/CUB/CUB0097.htm" rel="nofollow">CIA 20 Peso fakes (P-97x)</a> printed for Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba (or even a P-97 regular issue!) Then there&#039;s the popular Cuban &quot;Che&quot; signed notes (limited to 1960) or the duplicate signatures found on the <a href="http://www.banknote.ws/COLLECTION/countries/AME/CUB/CUB0100.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.banknote.ws/COLLECTION/countries/AME/CUB/CUB0100.htm" rel="nofollow">1966 P-100 1 Peso</a> &amp; <a href="http://www.banknote.ws/COLLECTION/countries/AME/CUB/CUB0101.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.banknote.ws/COLLECTION/countries/AME/CUB/CUB0101.htm" rel="nofollow">P-101 10 Peso </a>notes</p><p><br /></p><p>I think that&#039;s what I love about hunting elusive world banknotes (or even watching what others find). There&#039;s just so many cool ones out there![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
