Dave L Valued Member United States 484 Posts	Posted 05/01/2012 10:43 pm Just got this note today. Nice 5000 Drachma from 1942. It's a french printing I think - P119 b. The thing that leaves me scratching my head is how this could get here from Greece, registered, while I'm still waiting on a note from Pennsylvania. Oh well. Report this Post to the Staff

Dave M Valued Member United States 67 Posts	Posted 05/02/2012 11:13 am That's a nice note Dave, but it would be news to me if it were French. I've never seen that mentioned. Dave Report this Post to the Staff
Dave L Valued Member United States 484 Posts	Posted 05/02/2012 4:47 pm Hmm. You're very right Dave M. Pardon my faux pas. I should've checked first. I haven't the foggiest idea where I even got the idea that it was French printed, but somehow I did. My mind is slipping I guess. Thanks for clearing that up. Report this Post to the Staff
