PLEASE READ THE RULES BEFORE PLAYING! My 1000th post is coming soon! Therefore, I am having a fun contest. I have here 26 letters from A-Z from various Banknotes. They date back to the late 1700's and go to 2017. Name which banknote these letters are from, in this format: 2005 Canada $10 and so on.  RULES: You MUST have 50 or more posts. Email me the answers, do not post here! You must be in the 48 contiguous states to win. The contest ends 11:59:59 forum time on February 14th. Go ahead and look on the internet for clues!  I will pay shipping! SCORING: For every correct answer missing the year, you get a point, unless the letter has the number 5 after it. Partially correct answers are worth half a point, and answers 100% correct except for I, Q, and K, which I don't have a date for. Good luck! Edited by coin197

Interesting idea, I assume you wish to get one answer per entrant, instead of multiple emails from one person?

After day 1, I have a blank leaderboard except for:
My parents: 19.5 (Doesn't count)
And of course, my parents are not numismatists.

I think I might have 3. This is hard, and I thought I had a fair knowledge of WW currency. So much for that assumption.  |

A lot of these are actually modern. Careful, some these notes are from periods of hyperinflation and have been demonetized. Good luck!

This is a great idea for a contest. Going to take some research though, which is part of the fun.

Thanks for the contest and I know NOTHING! Same here! It's amazing how much you bank note collectors know about the world and its paper money. I'm impressed! And I think it's a cool contest. I love the pictures you posted coin197 - almost like a piece of art.  |

Sent my guesses, based on what little research I was able to do in the time I have available. Looking forward to the answers!
