Latest Banknotes Acquisition. List Them Here.

.....I've probably got that many coins and postcards combined.....but I'll never catch up on notes.

Iceland 1 Krona 1941 issue.

Has anyone tried to get creases out of polymer notes - and how?

Very nice design.

Romania 10 Lei 2005

Obverse: Portrait of Nicolae Grigorescu (1838 - 1907), Romanian painter; Marsh Mallow Hollyhock flower
(Althaea officinalis) and artist's palette and paintbrush; Romanian Coat of Arms. Reverse: House from Oltenia
region; Nicolae Grigorescu's painting "Rodica", representing a country girl. Watermark: George Enescu; BNR

If anyone is interested in the Security features:

Transparent window: Painter's palette with paintbrushes and embossed denomination value.

Shadow image ("watermark"): portrait and NBR logo, next to the transparent window. The shadow image
is visible only when the banknote is held up to the light.

Security thread: Hold the banknote against the light and the thread will appear as a dark narrow stripe in the
middle area.

Perfect register: Palette, visible when the banknote is held up to the light. Parts of the palette printed on the
obverse beneath the name of the central bank match perfectly with the parts printed on the reverse and build
a complete image.

Iridescent stripe on the reverse side: All Romanian notes in circulation have on the right of the reverse side
a vertical translucent iridescent stripe which has the nominal value printed seven times.

Microtext: All Romanian notes in circulation have, on the obverse and reverse, printed areas which contain tiny
writing. This can be seen using a magnifying glass.

UV print: On the reverse, green tetragon in UV light which holds the nominal value: "10". The black vertical serial
number shines green, the red horizontal increasing characters serial number shines orange in UV light.

Golden overprinted patch: on the right side on the obverse having the shape of a palette.

Raised print: Special printing technique makes the ink feel raised on both sides on the main design elements
of the 10 Lei issued in 2005 only.

Latent image: When the note is tilted, the letters "BNR" can be seen on the left shoulder of Nicolae Grigorescu.

Japan 1923 10 Yen

Got this 10 pound note in yesterday. Was a little worried as the envelope was wrapped in plastic with a note stating that another persons package had leaked on it, and they determined it was non-toxic. It was a type of oil that had soaked into the manila envelope. Luckily the envelope was a bubble wrap padded one and the plastic was a great barrier to the oil. Plus the note was in a plastic holder and wrapped in the invoice.

Found these radars at money exchangers on my latest trip to Thailand:

These aren't all new acquisitions, but they are my favourites since I have been to all of these countries, aside from Scotland in the UK, and brought back the notes personally.

@trickedoutcobalt - You've been all over! Lucky guy! Nice to get them yourself while you were there, too!
