Hey folks, I bought a whack of circulated bills of international currency for 10 euros when I was over in Europe this past month. I don't know in particular what any of them are (though I of course have an idea). My biggest question relates to the last photo on here. The bill (bad shape as its in) is dated 1905. Is it pre-revolutionary soviet? As for the rest, I think I have them pegged. The first is dime-a-dozen "Banana Money". At least it's uncirculated though. The Kronen is Austro-Hungarian. I am a bit curious about the "Eine/Egy" and "Zwei/Ket", but I'm assuming that's just the denomination (1 & 2 respectively), right? The Reichsbanknote are obviously German bills. Is there any significance to the bottom left bill? It's a markedly different looking, but perhaps this is just an earlier design (it's 1914, while the other two are 1922). Then the two notes I figured were Soviet Union based on the hammer and sickle, but I've been searching Soviet Currency and it doesn't match the photos of bills I've found yet. I know these are all worthless, but it was a fun find for next to nothing. I felt bad for them as they were all in a crumpled up box (less the Japanese note).
cool notes!! The first one looks like an Oceania note when the Japanese were planning on attacking that part of the world. It looks alot like the $1 note i have.
The Austrian notes were printed in more than one language that one is in German & Hungarian, it was called the Austro-Hungarian Empire :smile The JIM note is from Malaya 1942/45
Thanks for the replies. I had no idea it was Bulgarian, and I'm not sure I would ever have guessed. Does anyone have any idea for the large bill with the whole in it? I know it's not a very good photo..
Speaking of that, I found an answer online. It is a 1905 Russian Ruble. Supposed to look like this: http://aes.iupui.edu/rwise/banknotes/tannu-tuva/Tannu-TuvaP2-3LanOn3Rubles-(1924od1905)_b.jpg
