    Banknotes from around the world wanted!

    Thanks to everyone who sends me any notes.....sorry if I don't pm as they arrive but I'm not sure who's sent what.

    *Many thanks for everyone's generosity....it's been a great response and I am grateful to you all*


    I have a favour to ask....my son likes to collect coins and has now expressed an interest in banknotes. I quite like to encourage this hobby as it's educational.
    With so many members from around the world,and people going on holiday all over the place,I wondered if anyone could send me some banknotes for the collection?
    Obviously not £ or € but notes from as many different countries as possible would be great. Also,any notes from the Euro countries when they had their own currencies.

    Obviously i will be more than happy to pay any costs.

    Thanks in advance

    At the moment,from what I had already, and what has been kindly sent,we have:
    Egyptian £ - 5,10,15,20. Canadian $ -5. Croatian Kuna-20,10
    Thai Baht - 20. Czech Korun-20,50,500 Greek Draxma- 50,100,500
    Swedish Kronor - 20,50. Hungarian Forint-200,500,1000

    Indonesian Rupiah - 5000. Estonian Kroon-5,2. S.African Rand-10
    Zimbabwe-loads! Cyprus -£1. Gambian Dalasi-5,25,50
    Cayman $-5,10. Portuguese Escudos-20,50. Maldives-10
    Jamaica-$5. UAE Dirham-5,10. French Francs-50,10
    cuba peso-1. Iran rial-500,1000,2000,10000,5000,20000. China yuan-1,10
    mexico peso-20. Malaysia ringgit-1
    sri lanka rupees-10,20. Chile pesos-500,1000
    Turkey lira-1,100,1000,5000,10000
    Peru Sol-1000
    Jugoslavia Dinar-10,20,100,500,1000,5000,20000,50000,100000
    Iceland kronur-500
    serbi dinar-10,20
    saudi riyal- 10
    nigeria naira-100. Qatar riyal-1. Bahrain dinar-1.
    taiwan $-100. Singapore $-1,10. Brazil Reais-5
    Romania Leu/Lei-1,100,10000. Afghanistan Afghanis-20,50
    Korea Won-1000. Australia $-2. Venezuala Bolivares-20,50,100

    Russia Rubels-50,100
    Uruguay Pesos-20,50
    Argentina Pesos-2,5,10,20

    This is basically how many notes people have been kind enough to send.

    Collecting money as a hobby sounds very enterprising, what a great idea !

  3. #3
    Shoot me a PM with an address, I'll get a few in the post to your son. I've got Qatar (of course), but also some other bits and bits from the region. Some Iranian bits, I think! (I'm sending a package of post back to the UK next week, so should be with your son in 10-14 days.)

  4. #4
    Ditto above, post your address by PM to me. ;-)

    Likewise, found some currency I can't change here in the UK so he's welcome to it.

    I had a pile of old and interesting bank notes including Pesetas and Francs etc. Can't for the life of me think of where they are now!

    If I remember I'll let you know.

    My collection is more focused than the OP's son's. I prefer to collect only modern variants of $, £, €, Yen, and CHF. So if anyone has excess of those notes, please send them to me

    The way the pound is going, I'd keep hold of that.
    It might make you a very rich man one day!

    To the OP,
    I might have some old notes in my mum's loft. I moved there in a few days so I'll have a check.

    I'm in the UK at the moment but have a couple of Colombian Peso notes with me that he can have. When I return in early November I can dig out a few other South American currencies - Venezuela, Bolivia, Peru, etc. Let me have an address by PM.
    Cheers, Matthew

    OP,

    Any chance you could edit the opening post from time to time with what you have/need.

    I have a few, but no use doubling up I guess?

    If you can wait until i'm back in the UK at Christmas, I'll send your son some Chinese RMB (.1, .5, 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100).

    I also have Philippine Peso, Thai Baht, Hong Kong dollar (new and old notes).

    I think it's great your son is collecting old banknotes. I spend most of my time trying to collect new ones.

  27. #27
    I've got some Tunisian he can have, bearing in mind one isn't supposed to take it out of the country (or at least you weren't in '91) I take no responsibility should the Tunisian rozzers come knocking on your door

    I collect new ones on behalf of my wife. She seems to like trading them for cushions and stuff.

    I've got pre-2009 Chilean 1000 and 500 pesos notes (they changed for a different bleurk's head on 'em in 2009) you can have, in Chilean slang these are known as a luca and a quina respectively. Send me your address.

    Good point.

    I've just sent a selection off to the OP, cannot recall what they all are but I'd guess at about 20 different nationalities.

    If he doesn't already have them, I can offer up:

    Canadian $ (5)
    Croatian Kuna (20)
    Czechoslovak Korun (20 and 50)
    Greek Draxma (50 and 100) - ropey state
    Hungarian Forint (1,000)
    Thai Bhat (20)
    Vietnamese Dong (200)

    And a Soviet Kopek coin with a hammer and sickle on it if his left-wing credentials are sound!

    I've had a good look and I can't find it anywhere. Very sorry OP but hopefully stefaulkner can come to the rescue and make you a trillionaire!

    I do have some other notes. Will send them on.
