[QUOTE="Luis, post: 547493, member: 17336"]I never heard about this kind of thing. I guess it makes sense. But for sure there is no law against taking photographs of bills. Right? I have no clue about all that stuff you said about numbers and letters. I'm a metal guy, myself :D What I do know is that bills, unlike coins, have both sides equal on every country. The only difference is that each country has a different letter going in front of the serial number. The largest value we had in Portugal was 10,000 escudos, which would be about 50 euros. Now if you wanna collect these in mint state, it gets kinda steep very soon :) even if you collect by type. Now, there's this old man back there who sells old books, but decades ago he was a coin dealer. I got very good deals on some leftover coins he had around that he cared little for. One day I noticed he has a bunch of mint state notes from the 80's. I don't think they are expensive at all.
