<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lettow, post: 541226, member: 6986&quot;]Specimen notes are usually printed to use as examples for banks, law enforcement and others who will come in contact with the notes.&nbsp; Specimen notes frequently have special serial numbers such as all zeroes or 12345678.&nbsp; Sometimes they are stamped or perforated with the word &quot;SPECIMEN&quot; but not always.&nbsp; The serial numbers and the number at the top of this note (12345) are consistent with how this printer made its specimen notes.</p><p><br /></p><p>Test notes are usually printed to test the printing presses or ATM machines.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Most specimens are scarce because they were not intended for general release.&nbsp; Czech notes are an exception where specimen notes were sold to the public and collectors.</p><p><br /></p><p>The regular issue notes of this $5.00 note are scarce.&nbsp; This specimen is undoubtedly even more scarce.</p><p><br /></p><p>You friends uncle seems to have a lot of nice notes.&nbsp; He would be better served by contacting a dealer or an auction house in SE Asia or one of the major currency auction houses in the US, UK or Australia if he really wants to sell these notes.&nbsp; Solicitations on an internet discussion board are not really the best way to do this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
