anybody get anything new? I got a 1, 5, North Africa notes. and a 1928 $50. yay. i got some other stuff too, i just dont remember what else. I got a couple of Euro's too. How do i tell what country they're from? I never noticed but they're alot smaller then USD. but anywho i'm excited
congrats on the pick ups! I am working on a lot of over 200 world notes, and trying to finalize a sale on a national for my hometown bank in Mass! Yesterday i was given a small box of a couple dozen notes and coins from when a coworkers dad was in the military in Europe. I need to go through those as well
I bought about 50 new notes at CoinFest...the majority came from the dollar bin one dealer had, some were 2 for a dollar! I'll be posting some very soon...I inadvertantly missed scanning the obverse of one of them so I gotta do that...It will take multiple posts as you are only allowed 20 pics per post...hehe
Due to the pooling system, it does not really make sense to say that "this euro note comes from that country". However, you can tell which central bank in the Eurosystem commissioned the production, and what printer made it. The first character of the short code indicates the printer, e.g. the "G" is for Joh. Enschedé (Netherlands). If you turn the note, the first letter of the serial number indicates the commissioning central bank, e.g. the "U" refers to the Banque de France. This year, for example, all €5 notes are commissioned by the Dutch and French central banks only. AT, DE, FR and GR take care of the €10 notes this year, and so on. In most cases, especially when a central bank has its own printing works, the country of the central bank and that of the printer are the same. But since in DE and FR there are two printers, and in others there is none, you can get interesting combinations. Even De La Rue in the UK prints a few euro notes. When you say the euro notes are smaller than US dollar notes, you will probably know the €5 and €10 denominations only. With euro notes, each denomination has a different size. By and large, our notes are "less wide" than yours, but "higher" ... Christian
