<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kaparthy, post: 1023574, member: 57463&quot;]Back when I collected, I pursued Aviation as a theme on banknotes.&nbsp; Brazil honored Alberto Santos-Dumont on two different consecutive series.&nbsp; The earlier one was revalued 1000 to one against the old.&nbsp; For a time, people in Brazil &quot;saved&quot; by buying things -- anything: radios, for instance.&nbsp; Then, you could trade so many radios for a television or refrigerator.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, the thing is, I paid about $5 each for the notes (choice uncirculated!). As in the case of Zimbabwe, they were worth far more to a collector than on the street.&nbsp; That is often the case with numismatics.&nbsp; I mean a 2-cent piece from 1864 is, after all, just two cents, right?</p><p><br /></p><p>Finally, the last news I had from Z was that the government stopped issuing money completely.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
