My own collection gets a bit patchy in the 1930s...
1932 - a very ugly French 10 Francs..

Very nice!

with jbuck (at least you got something from 1932) As far as "patchy goes" I won't be able to contribute until we get into the 1920's so I'm really patchy too (from here until my oldest note).

Hasn't anybody got any notes for 1931?

I have two for 1930 but none for 1931.

1931 was our first hurdle in the Second Edition as well. ShareBear posted the only banknote for that year, and did the same in the First Edition. Maybe somebody can contact them?

I've got a few notes on their way to me, and one of those is a 1931-dated note. Hopefully they'll be here quickly...

I also found a 1931 note. If everyone is okay with it, I'd prefer to wait until hokiefan_82's note has arrived as well. I don't want to cut in line, and a day or two won't matter here. That way, we'll get to see more than one note.

That's kind of you, SchwarzerEinser! I just checked the tracking, and my note should arrive tomorrow. As soon as I get it, I'll get it scanned and share it!

Fine by me! I would rather wait to see two than get just the one now.

Let's get the ball rolling again! Fresh from my mailbox, here is a 1000 dinara note from Yugoslavia, P-29, dated Dec 1, 1931. This is a huge note - it's about 7-3/4" wide and 5" tall. It features a portrait of Maria, Queen Consort of Yugoslavia. She was married to King Alexander I in 1922 and was queen until Alexander's assassination in 1934 in Marseille, France.

Wow, what a beauty! It was definitely worth the wait.

My note isn't quite as impressive, but still — a 1931!

Nice example, SchwarzerEinser! I find it interesting that the serial number is printed a total of five times, and on both sides of the note.

Great notes hokiefan and SchwarzerEinser! Good to have the topic moving again!
1930...
Starting with a Hungarian 100-Pengo note. The Pengo was a relatively short-lived denomination that finished in catastrophic hyper-inflation in the mid-1940s, to be replaced by the Forint, which is still in use today. The portrait on the front of the note is of King Matthias I who ruled Hungary and Croatia from 1458 to 1490. The reverse of the note shows Pest Castle in Budapest:

Also from 1930 is this Bank of England One Pound Note. The Series A design was used from 1928 until 1960, but this one can be dated to 1930 by the serial and the Chief Cashier's signature, B G Catterns. The reverse of the note shows two gold sovereigns with the Pistrucci 'St George' design, and a street-level view of the Bank of England building in Threadneedle Street, London:
