NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 18138 Posts	Posted 04/13/2021 08:48 am Nice notes, hfjacinto! I remember an occasion in Portugal in 1984 when I needed a 5-escudo stamp to make up the correct rate for a letter to the UK. I went to the post office and handed over a 25-escudo coin, and got a 20-escudo note like your lower specimen in change! It's the only time I can actually remember paying with a coin and getting a banknote in change.

walk2dwater Pillar of the Community Canada 2594 Posts	Posted 04/13/2021 4:13 pm Nice pick up 'NumisRob' (always fun to get a note for FV) and it looks to be in great shape. Nice examples from Portugal 'hfjacinto' (those are the first 3 examples I picked up from Portugal late last year). Got this 5 Rand (P-119d) from South Africa recently: https://sites.google.com/view/notap...ng-banknotes Report this Post to the Staff

hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7358 Posts	Posted 04/15/2021 09:24 am Today is 100 escudos. Coolest part about these notes is that my wife purchased them and that I used these when I was a kid. Sadly they got replaced with the Euro which is about as boring as currency can be. The notes below are my favorite of Portuguese currency. My Slabbed Dansco 7070 with Gold Page My Slabbed IHC Set My Slabbed 20th Century Type Set Report this Post to the Staff

Sadly they got replaced with the Euro which is about as boring as currency can be. Your wife sounds like a 'keeper' to me Every time I visit Europe I fall in love with the countries (the cycling, the parks, the old buildings & esp the beer!) I really like all European banknotes, even the lowly Euro which has been kicked around the block by a lot of currency collectors (on this & other forums). But I never buy notes while there as they're typically priced in Euros and I rather keep them & use them on all the fun things we can do. Other funny thing is, one of the toughest banknotes to find is the 20€ issued from Portugal, with the Duisenberg signature but printed in England (@ TDLR) seen in this post. His signature was only on the Euro for a brief year (& I tried to buy one since my first 2003 trip). (Took me about 3-4 years to get that 20€) http://goccf.com/t/390766 but I hear you & hope to get some more pre-Euro cool designs from Malta, Cyprus, Spain, France & Portugal (to name a few). https://sites.google.com/view/notap...ng-banknotes Report this Post to the Staff
