Anaximander Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 709 Posts	Posted 06/03/2015 03:35 am I have a small but growing collection of banknotes from short-lived countries. So far I have Biafra, Republic of Rhodesia, and Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. Does anyone have other suggestions for countries that lasted ten years or less? Thanks in advance.

Sap Moderator Australia 16810 Posts	Posted 06/03/2015 08:42 am Some more that occur to me (sorry if others have already entered them while I've been typing). Note that, for some of them, you have to stretch your definition of "country" a bit. Confederate States of America, 1861-1864. Popular, beware of fakes. Katanga (seceded from Congo), 1960-1963. Much more expensive than the notes of fellow secessionists Biafra. Krajina, Serbian-occupied part of Croatia during breakup of old Yugoslavia, 1991-1995. Memelland, also known as Klaipeda - a small neutral state on the Lithuanian-German border, 1919-1924. The notes are listed in Pick, though they really should be classified with all the other German notgeld. Qatar & Dubai, short-lived monetary union, 1966-1971. Rhodesia & Nyasaland, a federation of the future Zambia, Zimbabwe and Malawi, 1953-1963. Saarland, French-occupied Germany, 1947-1957. The "mark"-denominated notes actually date from a different, earlier time period to the "franken"-denominated coinage. Srpska Republic, the Serbian half of Bosnia-Herzegovina, during Bosnian war 1991-1995 Texas (independent republic), 1836-1846. Even pricier than CSA notes. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

Deepak New Member United Kingdom 11 Posts	Posted 08/30/2015 10:40 am Chechnya had a currency called the Naxar. In fact it was printed in the UK in 1994 and banknotes were printed in 1, 3, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 500, and 1000 nahar denominations, dated 1995. This currency was not put in circulation, and almost all printed banknotes stored in bank of Grozny were destroyed by the Russian military. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chechen_naxar Report this Post to the Staff
