Paper Money: New Acquisitions

Welcome to Cointalk. Large Size notes can be expensive but they are great to collect. Most people have never even seen one.

Okay, here's a small size I picked up at same show (cheap, too)


Got this one also, but unfortunately it is a counterfeit:

 

Oh well, at least you got a nice scarcer district on one of those number notes.

 

New Caribbean pick up. That huge boil on Aguilera's forehead is courtesy of ABNCo.

 

Got this from the bank a few weeks ago:



Picked this replacement note from a coin/pawn shop for $2; gotta love 'em:

 

Today's new pickup is an obsolete deuce from The Planters Bank in Georgia. The big deuce sports the enormous engraved counter on the left, a couple of floating figures off center, and a red reverse, always a bonus.

 

Just picked these up .... today

 

These too!

 

Wonderful note, I used the large 2 from the obverse on another thread as an example of techniques used to help stop counterfeiting. The large 2 is from an engraved steel die and the DETAILS and DEPTHS are nearly impossible to counterfeit. Thanks for posting

 

Some 76 $2 from my dad.

 

1986 Cuban 3 Pesos

 

Korean 1000 Won notes.

 

India 2 Rupee

 

Canada $1, 1976 with humorous editions.

 

Nice addition to the note collection arrived today:

 

Today's new pickup is a sharp designed obsolete $20 from the New York Loan Company. The engraving is nice on this, very rich looking, really like the left margin intricacy. And it has a Cherub riding a %$U*ing Lion, that's STOUT. It's like an Old Spice commercial, only on paper money. A Cherub on a Lion FTW...

 

How about a nice Chinese radar number?
Roman numerals ( VI IX VI ) no less. Our number: 696 of course

 

Arrived at their new home today:


A replacement note from Yugoslavia:

 

A couple more at their new home:

 

As I looked closely at this one, I realized that it's actually a mini bond, payable one year after issued with 2.5 percent interest. I've seen post-Civil War mini-bonds that circulated as currency, but never one this early. Very intriguing!
