The Coins And Banknotes Of Fiji!

Fantastic!

I agree, I have nothing like jvrnz.

Mine are mostly Decimal and they are on the Paper threads and even on Numista too.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments. Next are Elizabeth II 5/- notes. P51a to 51e. Again, some better than others; I'm always looking to upgrade when I can!

Very nice!

You don't have to apologise for anything, your images if anything have made this thread much more complete and we thank you for it.

It was interesting many of the tropical colonies had 5 shilling notes when Britain and the Dominions like NZ, Aus, SA etc started with a 10/- note. My guess is it was for natives who were paid in cash and often 5/- was about a days labour.

Also I suspect many walked around in folds of cloth, loincloths, lapcloth lava lava like garments and saris which did not have pockets, so numbers of coins were not an option.

Here are my George VI pounds and 5 pound (only have one). More gaps here. Again, the images are variable.

A wonderful collection.
