I recently found this remainder Farmers Bank of China 5 Yuan of 1935. It appears to have been crossed out in red pencil. It's clearly been circulated. I've long had a theory that such remainder notes were thrown into circulation (along with more common Central Bank of China etc) after the outbreak of WWII, probably by the Japanese.  |

Seeing it, makes me want to pick up one. @walk2dwater, I'd seen a post about this on a paper money forum and that's what spurred my decision. There are a couple different sellers based in Kyiv offering these on ebay for about $25 including shipping. I got this one from seller lev-535, and I also ordered some interesting stamp sets from them as well (one featuring graffiti art by Banksy). The note in a folder I purchased from seller mega_seller1989. Quote:
That is reminiscent of the flag raising on Iwo Jima on Mount Suribachi. I knew it looked very familiar, @Dearborn, and now I see why! I thought it was quite interesting with the overlay of the flags of Ukraine, EU, USA, UK and Canada. Member of SPMC, FCCB, ANA and ANS.

Thanks, walk2dwater. I pick up paper currency occasionally. I've always been interested in these provisional war issues from Mexico.

I am the same as otto.
Principally a coin collector, I have perhaps 200 banknotes, mainly cheapies.
I will add anything to my Note collection that may be of interest, and what appears to be really good value for money, at the time of purchase. As with coins, historical interest and condition are important.
I do not regard myself as a confident expert in the area of notaphily. Thus, I stand to learn much in a thread such as this one.
Thx for the pix.

Thanks, walk2dwater. I pick up paper currency occasionally. I've always been interested in these provisional war issues from Mexico. You're welcome! Mexican revolutionary notes/provincial & provisional war notes are all very popular (which is understandable- given their size & classic designs). Myself, "I just don't go there" since I have some strict parameters of what I collect & these simply don't qualify. I have to set limits otherwise I'd be broke (& likely single again). Quote:

I do not regard myself as a confident expert in the area of notaphily. That's great that you've got a collection of 200 (or so) notes & a coin collector. I still regard most World currency as fairly good value (esp the farther back you go & the notes with decent eye appeal). There are many nations that are far scarcer than Bank of Canada notes I primarily focussed in when I started out. These BoC notes are much more expensive so I often feel I can't go wrong with my UNC world purchases. I have absolutely no knowledge of coins (other than high grade will be valued more than low grade) so your expertise in paper is far greater than my knowledge of coins. I also still regard myself a novice in World currency since it's such a vast subject & have only been at it for 10 years or so. Learning is the fun part. Quote:
