Hi
As you all may know, I recently became interested in banknotes.
I am seeing 'Pick #' and don't understand this. So I guess I need a book or site to understand the reference.

I need the name of book. and if possible an eBay link to purchase and see what the book looks like.. cause if I can find this book in my local bookstore and it might be cheaper then the eBay way.

The title is "Standard Catalog of World Paper Money", currently there are 3 volumes (#1 is specialized notes, #2 is prior to 1961, #3 is 1961-date). Originally written & edited by Albert Pick, now edited by Neil Shafer & George S. Cuhaj.

Link to Amazon.com with 11th edition of volume #3. http://www.amazon.com/Standard-Cata...26483&sr=8-4

Amazon lists several used (ex-library) for less than $10.00.

Be careful when using reference numbers from older editions of this book; the editors of Pick have a nasty habit of assigning new numbers to notes; it seems to happen much more frequently than the Krause catalogues renumber the coins.

I know it's something that peeves banknote dealers, having to go through their stock and renumber everything each time a new edition of Pick comes out.
