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

Egyptian £ - 5,10,15,20. Canadian $ -5. Croatian Kuna-20,10

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

Ignorance breeds Fear. Fear breeds Hatred. Hatred breeds Ignorance. Break the chain.
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.
Pm me your address to- have some old Yugoslavian and Turkish stuff
I've got one of the infamous 100 trillion Zimbabwean $ notes somewhere... If I can find it I'll happily send it on
I have some Iranian notes and change I can post to you.
Cheers
Ross
Another here with a few interesting bits in drawers.
PM me your address and i'll get them to you.
thanks
Alex
send me your sort code and bank account details pleasing
If he needs any Thai baht let me know. Can get Hong Kong Dollars in a day or so as well.
In Feb I may be able to get him North Korean money if the visa comes through

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
I'll check if I can find any Finnish marks(markka) but no promises.
I have some low value yen and Egyptian pounds if they are any good. Just let me know where to send them

I have loads, can he wait 5 weeks?, just off to work now, but can post when back?

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).
JK
i should have some trinidad notes, just pm me your address
I think it's great your son is collecting old banknotes. I spend most of my time trying to collect new ones.
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
Drop me a PM
Would love to help, but it seems that all I left these days with is the receipts
Fas est ab hoste doceri
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.
Hi Andy

I should still have some Brunei Dollars somewhere. I'll have a look when I get home tonight and let you know

Bloody hell, what a great response.
"A man of little significance"
UAE dirham and Indian Rupee any good? If so PM please.
I'll see if I can get some Malaysian Ringitt (dollar) and Srilankan Rupee from my friends.
May even be able to arrange Polish Zloty!

Please PM your address. I have a few from countries not mentioned in this thread. I'll be in the UK in two weeks or so and will post them.
I've got a 25 Eesti Kroon note (Estonian) to add to the collection if you'd like it.

We have a little drawer full of random currency- if you PM me your address, I'll happily put together an envelope full of interesting things for village jr.

Czechoslovak Korun (20 and 50)
Greek Draxma (50 and 100) - ropey state
