<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 26160912, member: 4626&quot;]I was very lucky on my last day of my trip in the Guatemala City airport to get really fresh 1 and 5 quetzal notes.&nbsp; I do have a 1/2 quetzal (50 centavo) note but these tend to get beat up pretty quickly (they look really nice if you can get a fresh one, but they&#039;re hard to find there.&nbsp; They circulate very heavily very quickly).&nbsp; I didn&#039;t think at the time of saving notes higher than 5 at the time (later thought better of that kind of thing lol, but at the time my habit was to save any banknote worth $5 US or less, or at least one of the smallest bill if all of them were worth over $5.&nbsp; Actually that should have included a 10 but I just didn&#039;t save one for some reason.&nbsp; Exchange rate at the time was 1 US dollar being worth a little over 7 quetzales, so even the 20 was worth less than $5 US.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Other than the signatures most of the designs haven&#039;t changed much since I was in Guatemala in 1998, other than the 1 quetzal note coming in a polymer variety.&nbsp; (I&#039;ve seen older notes online and the designs only have a few minor changes since about the 1980s.)&nbsp; One of these days may finish the set and get the 20, 50, and 100.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
