Newromom New Member United States 20 Posts	Posted 08/18/2022 4:26 pm I have these foreign notes. A quick check on ebay suggests they might have some value. I posted front & back. I'd would like to get some opinions on these. TIA!! Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16805 Posts	Posted 08/18/2022 7:18 pm The Australian note has, unfortunately, been "vandalized" on both sides. Now, this vandalism seems to have taken place during the war, so it might qualify as a "short snorter" - a banknote signed by military personnel on active service - but there aren't really enough signatures on the back to qualify as such. I can't speak with authority on the others, but it wouldn't surprise me if that Bermuda note was valuable. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16805 Posts	Posted 08/19/2022 05:26 am Yes, it says "Hobart, Tasmania". The date "1/6/45" below "Tasmania", is also hand-written onto the note and not part of the original note design. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

There are a lot of beautiful world banknote designs out there & a lot of new collectors becoming more familiar with the hobby. You have a lot of nice notes! Here's one similar to your Bermuda 5 Shillings (P-8b) & the seller is asking $50 (USD) but it is customary (these days) for sellers to ask more than book value: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2247255592...9SR7jc4PnWYA A good way to start checking what notes you have is to use the banknote museum as a reference: http://www.banknote.ws/ Good luck & have fun! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUc8Kx5wCI4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LeYOYtSAoc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mq1DlqkPHhE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PsCjxldIao Report this Post to the Staff
