    I have accumulated several (many) world currency notes, and I need to begin the process of identifying and organizing them. Please share with me what you consider to be the best one or two reference books available. Most of my paper money is from the last 100 years, but is from all over the world. I prefer a book to a website. Thanks. IMG_3134.jpg

    Best online resource I’ve found to date for World notes. Sorry, I’m unable to recommend a book/guide.

    One of the best notes in the picture will not be found in a standard reference book. It is the Opeation Crossroads short snorter.

    It’s remarkable that @lettow spotted that when only seeing a small portion of the note.

    I use the Krause Publication "Standard Catalog of World Paper Money".
    I've got both volumes.

    "Oh, you mean these? This is why I need to get these bills organized. History here."

    Do you know anything about them?

    Operation Crossroads was the name given to nuclear tests at Bikini in 1946. Google it for the full history.

    There are a handful of different notes that were printed to be used as short snorters for the event.
