Here's a low value 100 Yuan from Taiwan (I forgot about). Its P-1991 (Not the commemorative). When we stopped over at their airport we could only deal with credit cards in 2022. I looked it up online & (sadly) Taiwan is nearly cashless today:  |

Thanks @jbuck & @hokiefan_82  I also picked up these 2 notes from the CR. The 100 Korun is from 1993 & during the transition from their Russian-puppet state existence:  I like this note as it shows the Charles Bridge which my wife & I enjoyed strolling across on our trip there. The 2nd 200 Korun note is P-19g from a 1998 issue but printed in 2018 when we actually visited Prague:  I think the contrast in the 2 designs nicely show how the nation has grown. (I apologize for the arrows & "1 of 3" icon on the 200 Korun image-but it was a screenshot of the note purchased). Edited by walk2dwater

This is my first order of the new year (2025) & I was happy to get this odd 50 Pesos from the Philippines. Why odd (I almost hear you ask)? Because, most of the 2022 50 Pesos I have seen -have marks for the blind (right border). The example below (with FM prefix) does not. I'm not sure if there's other prefixes (without the marks) but this one is a nice UNC example & I'll take it considering there's few out there:  Here's a link to the notes with marks for the blind: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/note419368.htmlEdited by walk2dwater

Trinidad & Tobago 1985-88 5 Dollars Actually, your $5.00 from Trinidad was likely printed in 1985 since Victor Bruce was the governor of the bank from 1969-1984 according to my sources: See the link below: https://www.central-bank.org.tt/abo...st-governors@otto - your $5.00 note is P-37a & I was mistaken about it being the tough one. I just looked at the Numista entry for P-31 & realized it had a different design. It is the 1985 design when the BoT issued a revised series with a different design (P-37) and the first "Bobb" signature. Sorry for any confusion. This is P-30b with the same "Euric Bobb" signature though the $1.00 is much easier to get than the $5.00. (I'm still looking for P-31b)  Here's the Numista link for the tough P-31b https://en.numista.com/catalogue/note225774.htmlEdited by walk2dwater

Sorry @otto (I messed up!) & you were correct (P-37a) Guess I was having a senior moment  Anyway, at least I corrected the reply (If you re-read my revision). I was going to post this inexpensive (& easy "low hanging fruit") note from Japan when I saw your Trinidad $5.00 & incorrectly assumed it was that tough variety & boy did I go off on a tangent!...  Here's the 1 Yen from 1946 Japan (P-85):  It features Ninomiya Sontoku who apparently was a notable agriculturalist who practiced prudence & frugality. He is revered in Japan for the fact that he was once a peasant, yet built himself a business empire (started one of the first credit unions there) & helped local communities (& many individuals rise out of poverty). Here is the wikipedia source where I read about this notable Japanese icon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninomiya_Sontoku |
