These are the new banknotes i have gotten in the last week. i had been looking for a good deal on that note from ireland for a long time. I was happy to add all of them to my collecion, i have banknotes from 164 countries now. The question i have is what is everyones opinion on the value of the sequential serial number notes from iceland ? there is a value for them in the standard paper money catalog i have, but does having the sequential numbers add any value to them?
Yep, I like that Irish note too! I haven't seen any catalogs that price sequential serial numbers, and personally I'd be very cautious of getting sucked in to collect them. IMO, it's just an easy way for a seller to sell you more than one copy of a note. He's always going to get new issues in sequential order, so why not try to sell more than one at a time. Dave
