Hmmm
Is it going to be set out similar to the previous competition with the different categories? (quote taken from 2018 competition).

Hi to whoever is reading this. Did you know that TYPEWRITER (on a QWERTY keyboard) is the longest word you can type using only the letters on one row of the keyboard.
Quote: "Worldwide collection"Hmmm

Maybe, it depends on what other people submit.
Hi to whoever is reading this. Did you know that TYPEWRITER (on a QWERTY keyboard) is the longest word you can type using only the letters on one row of the keyboard.
It is P-52b, released on April 28th 1961 for one short year before replaced by P-52c (Dec/1962):
to me it has large (156X72mm) for such a small, unique denomination (10 Shillings) as Fiji converted to the dollar system 8 years later (1969).
Here's my Asian entry:
From Iran, a 200 Rials (P-113) with a massive arabesque design overprinted on the Shah's portrait & a circular lion symbol. What is interesting on this denomination is that on the reverse of the originals P-103a the reverse had 6 pointed stars (check out the link). This note is pretty unique. Of all the overprints I can think of (most of which are for hyperinflation or additions to a series) this is the only one which obscures the main portrait on the front of the note.
On the reverse of P-103b to P-103e the design was modified with culturally appropriate 12 pointed stars. The first overprints (1979) just had the arabesque design (no lion & sun circular overprint on left side). Below is a 2nd overprint (1979-1980) of 103d:
One last overprint (a symbol which replaced the lion) happened in 1980-1981 to a few denominations but no 200 Rials were overprinted for that 3rd overprinted series. All of them seem tough to source.
My entry from Africa is:
a 50 Francs (P-4) from Rwanda-Burundi which is a nation which lasted for 2 short years (1960 & 1961):
Although the above note is fairly stained, it is still tough one to acquire since the issue was so short lived. I feel that it qualifies for the beautiful tiger design (nice to see an animal featured rather than a person).
My entry for South America, comes from the tiny islands off the coast of Argentina, The Falkland Islands.
This 5 Pound note is P-9a, issued on April 10, 1960 & which I happen to think has a very subtle yet outstanding design.
There is no denomination marker '5' or any text at all on the reverse. I also like the small profile engraving of the young queen on the front & the green, yellow and red inks complement one another well.
(These are my first 4 entries. I'll add the other 3 later in the week. Hopefully some other Numista members will have entered some of their notes by then).

Fiji $7 note 2017 showing Gold medal winning Fiji Rugby 7's team. The note is innovative for the amount of 7 dollars and it circulates, has Ultraviolet 7 in paper and a great horizontal/vertical orientation.
It is also a lucky note and members of the team this Olympics had one each on them, when they won the Gold medal again.
Fiji have only ever won 3 Olympic medals, all for Rugby 7's, the men twice gold in 2016 and 2021 and now the Women got the Bronze medal this year!
I love coins. Especially silver, gold and anything really old.

$10 from 1976, very innovative for time, notice lively looking Kingfisher and the beautiful merlion device at the bottom right of obverse. The Vermillion colour is appealing and the map of Singapore around the denomination is a nice touch.
Most people get the $1 and $2 notes of Singapore which are quite dull, but they will see the higher values are very elaborate!

Nice adds "Moneytane." I have the Singapore $10 but not the Fiji $7 which is definitely one of the most unusual denominations out there. Sure would be nice to see some other banknotes.
Speaking of unusual denominations, here is my North American entry from Bahamas, a Four Shilling P-13b which is the 2nd note of its kind issued from the 1953 Series. I know that Bahamas has had a history of issuing 4 Shilling notes but I just thought it was a bit different as most often I saw 1, 5 or 10 Shillings from other countries (such as Bermuda & others).
From Europe, here's a One Pound P-336a from the Royal Bank of Scotland Limited which I believe is pretty unique. Can you guess/see why? "Camerinvs" will know.
My last note is for the pre-1945 bonus entry. I've posted this one before as its one of my favourites. It is the $20 from the Bank of Canada debut 1935 Series which lasted a brief 2 years. It is BC-9b (small seal) or P-46 with only 802,700 issued & was often called the "Shirley Temple" note featuring young QEII for her resemblance to the child star. Two things I like about this English version. First, the pink colour scheme (followed the UK convention) & I think it is interesting that it features the young princess before anyone knew she was the next in line for the throne (well before her uncle, the Prince of Wales, abdicated). Successive Twenties, from 1937 onward, were an olive green.
(Also the Two Dollar, featuring Queen Mary was blue & is now an orangish brown. The Five, which featured the Prince of Wales, was orange (& became blue from 37 onward). This odd colour scheme was exceptionally confusing amongst Canadians (a big fail) so the convention was dropped in favour of today's schemes).
I wasn't sure if the other were categories as well, or if they were to be included in the continets' category, but here's a few bonuses you can add if you want to:
Nice adds "ngdawa."
-I've got the $10 from Cooks Island & I really like the design of the $5 from Bermuda. I believe the 50 Lats from Latvia can be tough to get in higher grades & the British West African notes are tough in any grade.
Quote: "Serial_Number_8"Nice adds "ngdawa."

Cheers!
The Latvian one with the ship is amazing – if you ask me. I also love the CI's. I still need the $20 in that series for full set.
The British West African note was actually given to me as a Numista Christmas Gift, and despite the low grade it's one of my favourites.

Phenomenal gift! I really screwed up when I didn't participate in the Numista gift exchange, I see now.
There's lots of great notes out there. I think the deadlines need to be extended: if possible.
This is P#122 from South Africa. While this is a beautifully coloured note, I didn't choose it for the design. Instead, I chose it for the portrait. The portrait of this note is listed as being a painting of Jan van Riebeeck, however, this appears to be incorrect. It appears the painting the portrait is based off of it not van Riebeeck at all - rather, a man believed to be Bartholomeus Vermuyden. There are some good articles on this that I'd recommend checking out:
This is P#S153 from Trinidad & Tobago. This is a lovely dual-denomination note by the Royal Bank of Canada - 100 dollars or 20 pounds, 16 shillings, 8 pence. In addition to the odd denomination, the note also has a nice design on the front portrait and the coat of arms on the back.

This is P#48 from Canada. This is the only ever $25 note issued in Canada. It was issued as a commemorative in 1935, but most were withdrawn from circulation in 1937. Not many examples survive today, and those that do command a high price (especially the rare French version).

This is P#76 from Switzerland. This is a stunning vertically-oriented note. I chose this note for its impressive security features. My descriptions wouldn't do the note justice, so here's the official brochure from the Swiss National Bank.

This is P#2 from Australia. This is a very rare emergency note that was only printed for a few months - From 03 October 1914 to to 11 March 1915. Only 4,000,000 of these notes were printed - only 2,500,000 of which were ever issued. These notes were heavily counterfeited, and didn't last long.

This is P#63 from Burma/Myanmar. This is a vividly-coloured note with a very peculiar denomination - 35 Kyats. Other notes from this series were 15, 45, 75 and 90 kyats.

Quote: "ngdawa"You know you must own the notes yourself, right? And you know you must use your own pictures, right?
Ah, I never noticed this! If this is/was the case (though I wasn't aware this was), then my entries don't have to count and I can remove them. I guess this is on me though, so I guess I'll get to acquiring notes worthy of next year's contest!

the older banknotes have more intricate designs imo. right now, the only banknotes that are in circulation are the polymer ones with the first president's face on it although the older ones can still technically be used. Personally, as an aviation geek, I'm a huge fan of the 20 dollar note that was produced in the 70s. It's a true stunner! the older 50 and 500 dollar notes are really beautiful as well:)) I'll be sure to send in my entries soon.

Not an entry, but just for you Qwerty 844448
The $10 and $20 came together in a banknote lot with a mint 10 and 5 Ringitt of Malaysia and about 10 $1 Singapore notes from 1976. Drink that $20 in.
I chose to enter the $10 as I felt the $20 as nice as it is, did not have the wow factor the $10 does.
I love coins. Especially silver, gold and anything really old.

NZ - 1934, Reserve Bank £1 - worn but a nice ethnic design!
And rare (It's worth $250 in this condition!!!)

Love the $20 note (that’s on my list to buy) with the the only time that Concorde had a Asian airline livery on it.

Lovely, seldom seen pre-decimal entry, "Moneytane." Really like the designs of these notes & would love to pick one up one of these days. (I know they're pricey)
Here's another 2 from Singapore:
P-1b $1 (Orchid Series) with the tough Dr "Goh Keng Swee" signature
and P-13b $50:

Thank you Moneytane!
Personally, the Concorde is one of my favourite aircrafts although it was grounded before I was born :( I had visited the sites of several Concorde aircrafts in Great Britain, including the one at the Brooklands Museum. It's always lovely to visit these beauties and I wish that we will have something similar in the future (Perhaps a Concorde 2 ;))

Got about 10 of the $1's but none like that!
The $50 is lovely, and I agree expensive, but probably cheaper than the $1,000 and $10,000 of that series!
