Banknotes Made Of Unusual Materials (Non Polymer Or Paper Or Card Issues)

..........and a side-table cloth. Bear in-mind, these are rare items! Most people won't have seen them, let alone understand what they are and the history behind them.

@oriole - thanks. I'll keep posting pictures if I know people like them....

My real passion as a banknote and notgeld collector were the 100m silk and linen pieces, as they came with different borders/edges, which seemed to me to be ideal for collecting. I started with 1 or 2 then found a few more.......and so it went on. Eventually I wrote a catalogue about them as I had learned so much about them and knew I had one of the best collections of them in the world. You know what us collectors can be like!! We have to take it to the 'nth' degree, don't we

@jbuck - thanks!

Some of the wonderful coloured borders to collect on this 1000m yellow type:



These notes feature 'the animal concert hall' - the graphics are absolutely fantastic

Quite interesting!
