Banknote collection

It seems that most people don't collect banknotes but I don't understand why not, luckily some of us do so here's my stats:

I have 400+ banknotes in my collection and more coming soon
largest in face value: 100 000 000 000 000
largest in size: 275mm x 127mm
smallest in size: 27.5mm x 38mm
oldest: 1792
not sure how many countries but I will count them when I have time

Citeer: kolikko99It seems that most people don't collect banknotes ...

So that is true for me - I just have those three nice ones that someone gave me.  

I've been uploading my banknote collection online. Here's the link.

I only have 47 banknotes from 13 countries, in many cases just one or two notes per country. Those with several include mainly Germany and China.

I would say about half are old (WWII or earlier) and half modern/current, the newer ones being mostly for the novelty factor (e.g., Zimbabwe's hyperinflation notes, dead dictators, funny looking people on notes, lol).

By the way, quick (and possibly odd!) storage question:
I just received some Leuchtturm pages for banknotes and am wondering whether you're supposed to use the page pockets as they are, or are you supposed to put the notes in plastic sleeves first? Like with coins and 2x2 coin holders. I'm guessing you don't need to with notes?

P.S. Nice uploads, nalaberong!

I don't collect them (yet). I have a few.
* Full set of Estonian pre-euro kroon.
1991-2010

*a random 1 dollar and 5 dollar note from USA.

*2 random Polish notes from 1940's

*1 leu ( I think it was leu or lei) from Romania, recent year.

I think that is all.
So by no means a Rockefeller

I don't collect notes because choosing from two, I like coins more and my coincollection still needs a lot of work trying to Organise it. Time and money are the two I'm lacking.

I use the pockets just as they are

Here are the ones I have: http://colnect.com/en/banknotes/list/collection/Houseofham

I don't really collect banknotes, but I do have a bunch. Mostly got them as gifts. Many are in less than perfect condition.

I am kind of hoarding them, I have no clue how much I have but it shall be in the range of 800-900 mostly NOTGELD from Germany, Austria and Hungary and some other currencies, mostly Eastern European, and some shares.
It would be nice to find time to organize them one day, provided there is a good site which helps to do so...

It is an area of collection, I need to focus on, after I manage to organize my coins neatly....

For the moment, I have 285 banknotes in my collection. The majority is from Yugoslavia, those are easiest to get hold on!
For now my collection doesn't consist of very rare notes, but I will add 3 emergency banknotes from Slovenia and Croatia (1919) soon, pictures will follow!  
I started this new collection just a few months ago, got a little bored of all the modern coins, so I think this is a nice way to learn some new things about the countries I have coins from!

imre, this website --> http://colnect.com/en/banknotes was very useful to me for organizing my banknote collection, maybe it is something for you too?

Thanks.
I am kind of an anti-colnect guy, as I did not find it proper for coins, but I'll  check it for banknotes.
The fact is that I am not very motivated to organize my banknotes now.
It is a result of 30 years of hoarding, so I guess it could wait till I retire or so...  

EDIT:  I just clicked to see that they have 4100 German banknotes, so yes, maybe it shall be my game ...  later
This is what I have used so far for values and stuff: http://www.banknoten.de/

For the inflation freak, this is the record:  


That is 10 on the 27th, so it is: 1 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 Pengő

Nice a billion trillion banknote    .... now my 100 trillion dollar bill looks kinda small

it's actually pretty valuable considering the fact that most hyperinflation notes are very low value

because it was never issued

Citeer: Idolenzbecause it was never issued

and that makes it even more interesting

Any one in the US want a Finland 50 viisikymmenta markkaa 1986 banknote? http://www.pmgnotes.com/priceguide/world-note-prices.aspx?deid=74530&subcat=1986%20Issue&fromsearch=true

Made me remember the African "Mr Good Luck President" and his polocy "The poor need money? Print more and more and now they will be rich!". Next week Notes = Toilet paper.

i  have bank notes from  15 countries.most of them are from india.

Have lots of banknotes too. Mainly from EU (eurozone and national currencies) and Asian currencies. You can't imagine how much euro banknotes we can save, between different ECB president signatures, different country codes (and not for me, printer codes)... and new Europa series with new printer codes (instead of country codes, but with equivalences)...

But another funny note: "Eine krone Oesterreichich-ungarishe Bank 1922"... printed after Austrian-Hungarian EMpire split due to their defeat in WWI

I have of those too, mine's a 1,000 Kronen banknote from 1919. It says its also printed on behalf of the Austrian-Hungarian Bank in 1902, but it was actually printed in 1919 with a stamp "DEUTSCHOSTERREICH" to let people know they were meant to circulate in the recently formed Republic of German-Austria. It's funny how they kept changing the design of the notes but never removed the words "Oesterreich-Ungarische Bank" from them.

Bonus: photo of the single-sided 1 krone

I collect also banknotes and coins.
I have more than 800 notes of about 180 countries (20 missing and difficult to find at a reasonable cost). And also 65 to exchange of various countries and condition.
Very interesting from a point de vue history and geography, and often very nice engravings.

In my collection 356 banknotes
If you registered in Colnect, you can see my collection http://colnect.com/ru/collectors/collector/Huntersfoto

These beautiful (and tiny) notes arrived today:


But also some others:

I also have some uploaded here, but my camera broke when I was in Korea this September, so after that I haven't really done anything

​Quite nice collection. I'm jealous on you now after I saw in your collection a beautiful 100 Francs 1947 (Congo).

if anyone needs $2 circulated Canadian bank notes (non key) I have a stack of them.
