Latest Banknotes Acquisition. List Them Here.

That's very good hajduk.
About 10 years ago I visited Burma (called Myanmar then), and purchased from a market stall a 15, 35 and 75 Kyat notes.
They were printed in the 1980's and I was amused by their odd demoninations. Story has it that the head general at the time, was given to numerology and he believed those were auspicious numbers.
They have since returned to a more decimal format. Certainly easier for transacting change.

Central Bank of China 1 Dollar, 1928.
I've been trying to get one of these early issues of this note with the 'early' signature combination and overprints for years - I managed to get three this year. Life is odd.

Hong Kong 1 cent.
Actual size is a tiny 41 x 90 mm.




Bhutan 1 Ngultrum.
A most colourful banknote.

Reminded me of my childhood when steam locomotives were still operating.

My brother and I would go to the nearby main line running through my hometown. With a sack each we would walk separate ways and pick up any coal that had fallen off the tenders to help our mother and yes we had open fires at the time.

Now my brother (not being the sharpest knife in the drawer) would set off and pick up the coal until the sack was full and then lug it back quite often being a mile or so from where we started. I would walk the length and judge when I had seen enough to fill the sack. Then walk back picking up as I went.

I never did tell him about this energy-saving method.
