<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MEC2, post: 1629001, member: 38692&quot;]Got some more in the mail, could hit you with more Egypt but the band doesn&#039;t seem to like playing it so let&#039;s change quickly to Greece. This Fifty Drachma is one of the 1935 issues done in France, and it bears a strong resemblance to other French notes at the time, including French colonial notes. The paper is delicate, like the French, and doesn&#039;t stand up to much abuse, also like the French. It&#039;s one reasons these were the only types issued since they wore out so quickly, like a French division in 1940 (*rimshot* - thanks folks I&#039;m here all week, try the veal...). Between the delicate paper, pastel colors, and design, it&#039;s positively might be the *gayest* Greek note issued, and being Greek, that&#039;s saying something... though I imagine the 100 Drachma issue with a lipstick wearing Hermes might take that prize. It&#039;s fabulous!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i352/MEC2DFW/Currency/Greek%20Notes/50DF_zps7c219b66.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i352/MEC2DFW/Currency/Greek%20Notes/50DB_zps5178f24e.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
