crok Valued Member Australia 73 Posts	Posted 03/09/2020 1:13 pm Hello I notice several foil type banknotes made of test silver or test gold foil being printed as a sort of modern novelty currency. I was wondering if this is going to become a new sort of banknote or is designed purely as a novelty or fad. Would it be worth it to start up a type collection of such banknotes overtime as a hobby investment ? Report this Post to the Staff

Collect whatever YOU like....will it be worth it ? Only time will tell. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16832 Posts	Posted 03/09/2020 8:08 pm Such "banknotes" are almost always artistic replicas of notes, rather than actual government-issued legal-tender objects. A "banknote" made of actual gold or silver foil intended for circulation would be a really bad idea. The notes would become easily damaged and not last long in circulation. As novelty fantasy notes, there will be minimal collector demand for them. 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

Not meant to hurt feelings here, but they aren't worth the paper or foil they are printed on.. Report this Post to the Staff
