I really wanted to reply to this thread a few weeks ago but had yet to add my "white fiver" to my Numista account (so it had to wait):
My smallest is a 1935 Five Pesetas from Spain which measures 100 X 60 mm.
My largest is a this massive "white fiver" from GB
which measures nearly 210 X 133 mm.
When I first laid my eyes on one these I was not impressed since they lacked colour & I generally like my banknotes to have colourful designs. However, when you get one of them in one's hands & actually see the intricate watermark in person (which runs through the entire note) the need for colour suddenly doesn't seem so imperative. I see "Coinman1" has one so he'll understand my sentiment (I believe).
Also like the examples posted by "Idolenz," "Griff888," "ngdawa," "SpuDy," "BluHawk" & "Giobruno"

I love my white fiver. Have searched many years to find one with my actual birth date, but never even found one with 1952 on it. This banknote was a Birthday gift from my wife, so very highly treasured.
If every collector actually saw one on these, they would have to buy it, although they are certainly not cheap.
In terms of area you could fit 49 of the 15 kopecks onto the face of the 500 rubles. But tell me, wouldn't you feel positively royal presenting a gigantic, full-page banknote in payment?
