As some of you know, I'm pretty new to collecting world note and my passion is of the polymer issues.
A question has come to mind and I'm not sure how to answer it myself.
OK here it is:
This has to do with the Pick numbers.
1. How are the pick numbers determined/assigned?
2. Why are notes given a 'Pick #'?
3. What's the purpose of pick numbers?
4. Is it important to 'know' the pick number of your notes in your collection?
5. and most importantly--If I should have two identical notes (same country, same denomination/year of issue) or does the year matter? Would these two notes have the same Pick numbers?
Thanks,
mila_

G'day,
1. by the editors of the Pick Catalogue
2. & 3. convenient, accurate, and well-understood shorthand way of describing the subject
4. only if you want to discuss them with anyone else. But they are useful when you make purchases, also.
5. "... If I should have two identical notes (same country, same denomination/year of issue), ... Would these two notes have the same Pick numbers?" - the same number, yes.
Pick is just another catalogue, like Krause, Spink, Gaudry, Maccas and Renniks. You can get by without them, but once you've used a good catalogue, you'll realize how useful they are.
From my limited experience (Maccas & Renniks), the CVs are what a dealer might dream about, but they give an idea of relativity between coins.

One other thing.
Is there a site where I can find the Pick #'s for my notes?

Mila you can use Ron Wises website which has almost every note broken down by country. Pictuers of most notes are there also. Under each country the Pick #'s are in order. Though they don't denote in the info if the note is a polymer, you would have to look at the pictures. Or you can ask here. As new notes are released, sometimes it takes a little bit of time before they issue it a Pick #. Sometimes the notes will be listed as P-New. I had a list last year of the current Polymer pick #'s, if I find it I will post it. *edit* forgot the link to the site http://aes.iupui.edu/rwise/Edited by onejinx

Another question on Pick #'s.
I've notice that some Pick numbers have a letter after it (Pick 45a, Pick 45e).
What does the letter mean?
When cataloging your notes do you enter the 'year of 1st issue'? Or the year of the note itself?
Some notes I don't see any years. Is it hidden somewhere in the note?
Thanks,
