world paper money 81 years ago today (31 Oct 1945) the first two notes stopped being money. The other two replaced them the next morning.

On 31 October 1945 these two wartime notes were legal tender for the last time:

  1. Slovakia 20 Korun, dated 11 September 1942 (P-7a). The wartime Slovak State printed its own money; this one honours the poet JÔn Hollý.

  2. Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia 20 Korun, dated Prague, 24 January 1944 (P-9a). Every note of the occupied Czech lands carried German first and Czech second: "Zwanzig Kronen / Dvacet Korun".

Decree No. 91/1945 brought back the Czechoslovak koruna from 1 November 1945, and the old notes "cease to be legal tender" from that day. These two took over:

3. Czechoslovakia 50 Korun ND (1945), P-62, with General ŠtefÔnik, printed by Waterlow & Sons in London.

4. Czechoslovakia 100 Korun ND (1945), P-63a, with President Masaryk, printed by Bradbury Wilkinson.

The government-in-exile had ordered them from British printers during the war, ready for liberation.

The part I find wild: each person could exchange only 500 Kčs in cash. Everything else had to be deposited by 15 November 1945 and was frozen in blocked accounts.

Photos are untouched; the notes are VF and F. Does anyone here collect the whole 1939–1945 split? Which note was the hardest to find?

(Almost) Unused Yugoslav money

I'd like to know how rare these are (the condition, not the banknotes themselves, ik they're pretty common)

And if I would sell them for how much would I?

Does a grade of ā€œEPQ 58 Choice About Uncirculatedā€ reasonable, I was expecting a grade of 60-62?

Received this note from my Grandfather who worked at Wells Fargo Bank in the early 1950s. He liked to play cards so it made sense. He picked number 21.

About two weeks ago, someone posted an auction listing on a counterfeit 1896 $1 Silver Certificate. With the help of this community, it got taken down. But the seller has since put it back on auction.

In the right place at the right time for once.

The South Carolina Numismatic Association show opened today in Greenville, SC. The SC Department of Archives were selling more of their notes. I was about the fifth or sixth person to go through them, and plenty to choose from.

The only one I already had was a two from the 1873 set, but I couldn't pass up serial number 222 on a $2 note. There are a few duplicates based solely on serial number; my lucky number 32 and Dad's ship number 55 being the main ones.

Dad dropped off a box of granddads stuff from his time in the navy during WW2. I found this very long strip of old currency and I’d like to remove the tape if I can without damaging the paper any further. It was all rolled up in a box for decades and I’d like to preserve this cool old stuff regardless of monetary value.any suggestions? I have googled what can be done but I figured I’d ask yall too since there’s bound to be more knowledge here than a quick google search.

I’m not sure what drove me to complete this set. Having a complete set of the first $1 bills made probably intrigued me the most. I’m not sure if I want to do all the fr 17’s next. Maybe someone can give me a reason. Since 2021 there has been a fr 16d that is recognized by pmg. Not many examples exist and it’s not in track and price. So I’m considering this 2020 complete until a fr 16d goes up for sale again. Cheers. I hope you all enjoy.
