Nice $2 @BasSWarwick
Here's a newer $1 from St. Lucia of the ECS:

 

Her Majesty is a pretty nice girl
But she doesn't have a lot to say
Her Majesty is a pretty nice girl
But she changes from day to day

I wanna tell her that I love her a lot
But I gotta get a belly full of wine
Her Majesty is a pretty nice girl
Someday I'm gonna make her mine, oh yeah.....

 

I’m interested. Nice

 

That is so sweet. And the bills weren’t so bad either

 

Someone here got one of these a while back and the interesting date made me want one. Finally pulled the trigger.

 

Yep, sure did didn't I; lovely note

 

My son worked in China about 15 years ago and has had these notes in storage. Unfortunately a bit damaged by being folded for years, but I'll see what I can do when they arrive. Cheap enough to gently iron out the creases perhaps. I already have the lower values 1-5 and the HK20 in better condition.
Always good for swaps.

 

Who didn’t love that gal

 

- I wouldn't. The heat will dull their colour & effectively make them tough to get rid of (even swap). They flatten but you can see that they've been flattened b/c the evidence of circulation is still there. They're more desirable "as is."

 

@Notaphylic_C

Will they flatten if left in a book, or any other way without spoiling them? Or just put them immediately into pockets

 

I have used a book in the past... but it can take some time.

 

Acquired these last week along with a Hancock $2 silver cert.

 

Love the educational series! May begin picking those up soon.

 

I found my lost pile of bank notes. Here are the ones from Kenya.

 

Very appealing designs. Interesting to see they are still using paper in 2019.
Are you looking to complete the set with 50 and 500 shillings?

 

Sure. I have a good friend who lives near Mombasa, and I will ask him to bring those notes for me next trip. Thanks for the heads up. I am mainly a coin collector and only dabble in banknotes now and then.

 

This series is what got me into world note collecting. I have them all in UNC and would like to eventually get a circulated set too.
