Just picked up these 3.

 

Another canadian quarter

 

Very attractive notes I'm jealous

 

Well those German notes do get bigger

 

I really liked the winged mercury on the back of this one

 

Did a little research on this note and it turns out that the portrait on the bottom right is Senator and Statesman Daniel Webster and on the bottom left is our 14th President Franklin Pierce. So along with our first 5 Presidents depicted in the center, this note has 6 Presidents on it.. I bet that's the most Presidents on any note

 

Finally got myself a sleeping dragon!

 

2 years ago this would have been illegal to own!

 

Hey, at least it was cheap

 

I don't get too many Russian notes but I had to have this one

 

Like the colors and themes

 

With limited opportunities to fill holes in my St Louis metro area national/obsolete/financial document collection, it appears that I'm starting to buy Italian banknotes to feed my compulsive need to collect. Here's the latest, which arrived in a box due it its large size (125 x 250 mm, a true "horse blanket"). Not super high grade but still pretty attractive and a nice balance between price and appearance IMHO.

 

Interesting note.

Does anyone here know if PLATA, stamped on the back of the note, interprets as SILVER or MONEY ?

 

I would imagine it means Silver, probably. I dont know their economic history but it wouldn't be unreasonable to assume that they were stamped "silver" to indicate that they could be exchanged for silver at a bank. I guess it was too much trouble to reprint them altogether, just stamp and save some money that way.
I hope someone else knows for sure!

 

Got a bunch of random cheapo notes. Will post over the coming days.
First off, a couple Austrian thingys.

 

I asked my Mexican friend and he says that "plata" always means silver, as in silver the metal.
Not sure if the Cubans have a different thing.

 

At first glance, the girl with the sheep almost looked like a centaur...

 

Imperial Russian stuff is kind of cool
