mulla New Member Australia 32 Posts	Posted 04/07/2014 10:37 pm Hi All, My first post on the forum, I've only been collecting Japanese banknotes for the past year or so. Mostly been buying a few here and there on ebay, but now I'm getting to a point where ebay no longer have what I wanted or are getting expensive. Wondering if there's any pointers as to where else I can look? Thanks in advance for helping a newbie along the path. Report this Post to the Staff

mulla New Member Australia 32 Posts	Posted 04/08/2014 01:17 am Thanks Ark for the tip. You mean some of the shows listed below? I have checked a few retail stores here in Melbourne and in Brisbane. Unfortunately, selection for Japanese notes are not great. But will give the shows a try, never been to one before would be a great experience if anything. http://www.apta.com.au/SubMenu/Even....aspx?id=190 Report this Post to the Staff
rggoodie Moderator United States 23503 Posts	Posted 04/08/2014 07:42 am Might Want to mention you are in Victoria, Australia, so the rest of our forum family does not recommend you go to a local shop in Japan or some other venue far from home. Also have you checked any of the local coin and banknote clubs? rggoodie aka Richard "catch em doing something right" Report this Post to the Staff

mulla New Member Australia 32 Posts	Posted 04/08/2014 6:42 pm Thank you all for the kind advice and tips, will check all of them out! I haven't checked any of the local clubs, didn't know there were any :( But will definitely try to get along to one of the IBNS meetings. I might send them an email before hand to make sure I'm welcomed as a non-member, at least for the first meeting. In terms of online resources, I suppose ebay is the best bet? I've recently ordered the 2014 catalog for Japanese coins and notes, hopefully that'll give me a bit more knowledge of what I'm collecting! Thanks once again, appreciate all the input!
