Thematically I like notes with birds and churches, but really any attractive, inexpensive note might find its way into my collection. The Netherlands and Netherlands Antilles have some nice banknotes with birds. |

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. Thanks for your feedback, walk2dwater!  I was hoping you would chime in with your knowledge. It's possible that with the ZCK prefix it could be P-122b, but it might also be a replacement note since it starts with Z. It looks like I will trust the dealer's judgement on this one, baring any evidence to the contrary. P-122a accounts for the vast majority of examples on Numista, so it seems most likely. Even though I may never know for sure about this one, I certainly enjoy the investigative aspect of collecting world banknotes.  Quote:
I like notes with birds too. 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: Sounds like a great collecting focus! That's very disappointing that you didn't receive the notes you ordered. I hope you contacted them and asked for your notes! But I do like the heron and the simple reverse on the Ugandan note, it's very nice. |

Next up from the fall coin show is this ND (2009) The Gambia 5 Dalasis P-25b. The obverse features a giant kingfisher next to a portrait of a girl, while the reverse has a scene of cattle grazing. A very pleasant banknote.   |

Yes, I contacted her & she refunded me the $ for the missing notes but I would have much preferred her contacting me immediately after I placed my order b/c I have been on an African binge & really wanted to get those 2 countries (which were well-priced). I would have tried to order something else from her (had I known). Here is the set that I was after, from Northern Ireland ( P-340-342; Ulster Bank 2007-2014):  Edited by walk2dwater

Another coin show purchase, this time from Guyana. A ND (2005) $100 P-36a. The obverse has a very interesting map of the country showing regional commodities. I bought the note for the reverse, which features St. George's Cathedral in Georgetown, Guyana.   |

I too like to maximize my orders to reduce the overall money spent on shipping. Quote:

That's a very nice set! I like the obverse vignettes. Thanks (They're actually much nicer to view in person with many subtle differences between the denominations- not so visible on the small seller's picture I posted) I actually picked them up for two reasons. The first is I wanted to compliment this George Best note I picked up a while back. (Big soccer fan). The 2nd reason is I really like Ulster's new polymer series (which I wanted to get) but discovered they're all about £5 more than this older (paper) series! So I am hoping that the furor over the new 2018 polymer series dies down so I can pick up a set for a decent price (rather than a king's ransom). P-539 (issued 1 year before my 2007 note):  Here's the link to the 2018 polymer £5 which seems so dear right now: https://en.numista.com/217505Edited by walk2dwater

That makes sense, sounds like a good idea to keep an eye on the market. I like that George Best note, it's very dynamic! The 2018 £5 banknote is lovely, though, especially that peaceful reverse design. |
