A nice American couple gave me this as a tip yesterday after I escorted a shore excursion from a cruise shipo. The ship had previously docked in Belfast...   My first Ulster Bank polymer note! |

Speaking of British private bank notes, my folks recently went on a tour of Scotland, and brought me this back. Clydesdale Bank £10 with Robert the Bruce and his pet spider.   |

A lot of nice recent additions, everyone, thanks for sharing!
That's a fascinating note, notgeldman. Can you provide a bit of background/info on that note? Thanks!

Hi @hokiefan_82  I have seen these types described as anti-Semitic by quite a few people (sellers and dealers) but they aren't! The Star of David hexagram was also the ancient guild symbol for inn-keepers, brewers and maltsters. There, it was sometimes called the Brewer's Star ('Brauerstern'). The design was understood to demonstrate, back then, the 3 elements used in brewing (water, fire and air) intertwined with the 3 ingredients of medieval brewing (water, malt and hops). It is still used in parts of Southern Germany outside some pubs. I think this explains the hexagram on the Goerlitz pieces, issued by the Wine Restaurant, Cafe and Hotel 'Hansa'. |
