<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 1605666, member: 12789&quot;]They are an example of something that was rare for a long time - most of the notes were never released into circulation initially - Portuguese Guinea became Equatorial Guinea in 1974 and the new country printed it&#039;s own notes eventually.&nbsp; These colonial notes sat in storage for a long time and were released into the collecting world much later on - which explains their initial rarity, but subsequent commonness. Similarly there are examples of Portuguese colonial coins from their African colonies that were very rare in BU - then a bunch of them hit the market about 5 years ago - it is now possible to find Angolan and some Mozambique coins for a fraction of their initial catalogue values.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
