I've had these for a while and not sure if they are actual banknotes. They are a set of 3 different unifaced notes printed on a heavy card stock and each hand cancelled on the reverse. They measure 83mm X 43mm

They look like private issues from the Bosnian War.

They're denominated in "DEM" - Deutsche marks, the pre-euro currency of Germany which was unofficially used in Bosnia from 1992 to 1998 because the Bosnian dinar had been rendered worthless by wartime inflation. In 1998 the mark became the official currency of Bosnia and remains so to this day, though the Bosnian mark has the code BAM rather than DEM.

As for classification of these Travnik notes, I would call them "modern notgeld", issued by a local bank. I doubt they would be listed in the regular banknote catalogues.

I am not sure what happened but when my posting got moved from U.S. to international banknotes the 1ST scan of a 0.50 DEM note (reddish-pink) got replaced by the scan from another posting I listed under exonumia. I can tell you that I can not find these notes in the regular Picks catalog or the specials catalog.

Jim, you have to use a unique file name for every image upload on any given day.

If you use the same file name, it will overwrite the previously uploaded file.

I just host my images elsewhere to avoid that.
