<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MEC2, post: 2287773, member: 38692&quot;]Well, today&#039;s new pickup will be my last for several weeks as I hit the Caribbean for a while. This note is from a completely different sea, the Med, as this is a tougher Greek issue, a NEON series 25 Drachma note. Great engraving design work from ABNCo and I&#039;d expect nothing less... the NEON notes were released to replace the previous series that are usually found torn in half - half remained in circulation, at half face value, the other half treated as a bond coupon that matured in 20 years. All to finance the Greek state.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyone telling you Greece&#039;s problems with finance are the result of predatory lending and credit swaps from 2008, or German occupation in WW2, or anything other than gross general fiscal irresponsibility can just look at those series of torn notes to realize Greece has been a monetary dumpster fire for a century now...</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i352/MEC2DFW/Currency/Greek%20Notes/25Drachma1919F.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i352/MEC2DFW/Currency/Greek%20Notes/25Drachma1919R.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
