way to go Keith67  Yugoslavia broke up in 1992. I don't know the circumstances but I do believe I have a Yugoslavian banknote around here somewhere. Joanne  Edited by Empty_Pockets

Great idea for a game! Czechoslovakia 100 Korun 1961:   Czechoslovakia was created in 1918 following the break-up of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It was split between Hungary and Germany during WW2 but was reunited as a single country again in 1945. It ceased to exist on January 1, 1993, since when the Czech Republic and Slovakia have been separate countries. |

Here's the 1993 version (the 1961 note with a revalidation stamp):  I believe that the above note was the CR (Czech Republic) version & there were also 1961 100 Korun notes revalidated for Slovakia (different stamp). And here's a 1979 $5.00 from Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe):   The same country was also called "Southern Rhodesia" & "Rhodesia & Nyasaland" It was explored by Cecil Rhodes who then claimed it a British colony (I believe) way back when Imperial England was claiming many regions of Africa to be their colonial territories (like Portugal, France, Belgium, Italy & Germany). |

-very pretty & tougher variety (I believe). I mean I was looking for them some time ago & found few listed. Here's a One Kyat (P-46) from Burma (now Myammar) without staple holes typical of this issue:  Edited by walk2dwater

numisrob .... Nice 1988 Czechoslovakia banknote. A whole lot of symbolism going on in there. The sun (symbol for "God", boy and girl studying a book "Bible", atomic symbol "atomic age"'Science", rainbow refraction of light to it's wave lengths, tree with fruit and root system in a book which I would think is the tree of knowledge? All of these ideas came to mind when looking at that bill, but I'm sure it's not the case in reality. Can anyone come up with some symbolism? Oh, another one...the fruit is only on the bottom half of the tree while flowering is happening above. Joanne |

Joanne, I've always liked that series of banknotes: they are very colourful. I think the Tree of Knowledge is correct, but all I've found on Wikipedia is that it's an illustration related to culture and education. These notes were issued in the dying days of the Czech Communist regime and the Communists were fond of pictures showing smiling, happy people, but they'd gone from the rather grim looking farming couple on the 1961 100K (reminiscent of 'American Gothic') to the nicer young couple on the 1988 20K. Incidentally there was a 100K note in the new series, with a nice view of the Charles Bridge in Prague on the reverse, but they were swiftly withdrawn after the end of Communism as the front had a portrait of a particularly hated Communist ruler, Klement Gottwald, while the 1961 type remained in circulation.
