Singapore banknotes. Portrait $5. 1st variant issued in 1999, signed by the then-Finance Minister Richard Hu Tsu Tau. Replacement prefix 0CX. A piece that is hard to come by. This piece that I have is of poor condition, think probably at best VF20. PMG catalogue: Pick #39*. Only 94 pieces in PMG record.  Edited by aster

Got a new German note to add to the collection. Cool design but from a pretty tragic time period.   |

Great notes everyone! I saved this 200TL note from my recent cruise when the ship called in Istanbul. It has a face value of about US$5, and, amazingly, is currently the country's highest face value circulating banknote!   |

My interest in world banknotes was recently reignited by The Numismatist's "Paper Money" column and my trip to the fall coin show. Thematically I like notes with birds and churches, but really any attractive, inexpensive note might find its way into my collection. First up is a 1984 Indonesia 100 Rupiah with a Victoria crowned pigeon on the obverse and the Sigura-gura Dam on the reverse. The dealer listed this as P-122a, which were engraved. P-122b were lithographed. I can't seem to tell the difference and want to verify the variety. Any thoughts?   |

This happened to our Canadian currency back in the eighties & I could not tell the difference. I know some collectors who claimed that they could (by examining the embossing, the engraved would leave more) but this was usually online. Most of us went by the prefix & serial number cut-off point (provided by our Charlton guide) b/c otherwise, they look identical. I just checked my Krause SCWPM & the BNM & Numista. None of them have a prefix change-over point. The BNM shows a note with the prefix KBQ as P-122b FWIW. Below is the link for P-122 on Numista: https://en.numista.com/204548Quote:

Presently, I'm focussing on trying to get some African notes in UNC (which can be challenging). I put in an order from a dealer who did not send 2 notes I ordered from Tanzania & Malawi. Instead she put this note in my order, which happens to be my 2nd example of this 10/- from Uganda. It has a nice heron on it but I would have preferred the 2 notes from Tanzania & Malawi:  Edited by walk2dwater
