I just wonder why Xavier can't implent banknotes in this site...
I believe it's quite easy....
I don't like that other sites shows every year from every banknote separately.
I mean I like the layout and all that of this site.
I completely agree. I think it would be a very nice "added value" getting banknotes on Numista. I mean, it's practically all there already: country list, swap, etc etc.
I completely agree with kommodore. I tried several other sites but none is like Numista. It's just like trying to ride a donkey when you're used to a Ferrari...
Exactly...I'm having troubles with colnect...there isn't a list for years like it's here on coins...I collect banknotes by year..and it's a hell on colnect...
Quote: kommodoreI really can not find a site like Numista that has banknotes....
why can not Numista be a banknotes site also ?
Well my website http://coinsnnotes.co.cc
is trying to do that but it's really a separate project, numerous people can't upload, there's only one admin (blame apple) but I'll find a way, I would love to see a Numista for bank notes since it's all the same computer code.

I completly agree with you, I tried colnect, but it was just a "donkey".
This function would be very good and useful. I think a lot of people here already collects banknotes too.
This should be considered.

And can't there be done a survey or something like that? If enough people vote in favor of adding banknotes to this page, maybe the administrators can think about it more seriously, don't you think?
I dont understand why there is not a sister site for Numista?
I thought you guys were going to create one, there is a whole thread on y'all creating such a site?
I have not been able to get any good scans of my bills, I would love to just enter them like you do on Numista, but then only swap for coins.
Paulosousa, how did you get these images, both sides of the bill in one image? Thanks
Taking a break from swapping for a while, but still interested in pre 1799 Spanish coins, I will make time for that!

Hi redsmithstudios,
I scanned both sides getting two jpegs and then...
I upload then here http://imgur.com/
click on the image you need to put here, for example
extract the Linked BBCode (message boards)
and I put the images side by side.
Hi! Banknotes I have some to share!, are used!,
my email is: thebrother_sj@hotmail.com.ar
send me an email and sent them pictures of the tickets I have to share!
I hope to make a page like Numista Banknotes Exchange! : D

I have tried lots of sites but they are not foolproof like Numista.
The list which you have uploded that is final but like Numista we don't find any references so

What do the administrators think we pay all these monthly fees for? I demand bank notes be added or a bank note site.
That is what they are getting paid the big bucks for.

There was talk a while back about making a sister site, done by computer literate members. Using the same format would be wonderful, with Xavier's permission of course.
Maybe someone will take the steps to make it happen. I would, but I can barely check my email
The minute Xavier responds I will summon people to build it. I'll use the original source code and have people working on section.

I am not into banknotes at all, but it seems like a revolution here, so I just want to support those who want to have a banknotes section.
I trust it is easy technically, go for it!
Xavier, if you are reading this, allow us to make this site. It will become part of Numista and will actually increase the amount of people visiting numista.com

Yes, I also vote for a banknote site similar to Numista!!! And I also can contribute my time, effort and knowledge. I've collected banknotes as well as coins since childhood )) So the site will be packed with images and info in a minute's time! Let's do not give up on the idea, guys!!!
I talked with the founder of this site via email. There will not be a banknote Numista. This is final. It is just too much work and the code is difficult to work with (old code). If you want to see the email, I can show you via PM.

I agree with imreh on this, it seems like a revolution, but then again I don't collect paper money anymore. Maybe I would start again if we introduced Notista I might get into it again. At the moment I would like Philatista to be a reality.
Its quite simple, money talks, money makes it all worth it. If he makes some good money off of Numista he would think again. If we can show Xavier how much money he can make, perhaps he will let us open a Numista Bills?

There will be new people to work who are interested in Bank notes. The members who take interest in uploading and verifying the same. The notes will be much much less than the coins since they are just about 100 years old and it will be a great thing to have this. We once again request you all to reconsider the proposal for Bank notes.

Although I do not collect bank notes myself, I do agree with the previous speakers here.
I can get Swedish bank notes of almost any type there has been in circulation, and would happily swap them for coins, and since many collect both coins and notes this would sometimes make swapping easier.
As i said, I am not into banknotes, but the way you guys, pathethically, suffer here is disappointing.
Take your action!
This is a numismatic website, which the founder ignores for long, YOU guys need to take initiative!
Here is my humble suggestion: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces41281.html
Just created this nonsense banknote on numista, the system can do it, so YOU can do it!
The only difference is that you shall pay attantion to the dimensions, enter in mm, which in this case is 275 (unusually big for a coin) then say that it is rectangle shape (which it is) --- Make sure you enter the longer side as diameter!!!
As country, choose "Banknotes - [CountryName]" then as currency choose the normal currency of the period. There you go and your banknotes will be on Numista, regardless... "
I think that is it.
If you need more discussion, than do it.

I hate to say this bro, but,
Many probably feel the same: I strongly disagree with adding banknotes to Numista. Numista wasn't made for banknotes. It was made for coins. Remember when one of the team members decided to add the Tokens section? Look at what a mess it became. That's because nobody maintained the tokens, which, by the way, are not coins. Banknotes aren't coins either.
I put a lot of work and effort to verify pages on a weekly basis, and so do many of the members on Numista. If we start adding banknotes, we'll simply lose effort on the work of coins. I remember when I wanted to start "Numista Stamps" since I'm an avid stamp collector. I had the plans all worked out, but it was rejected. The reason was simple and just. There is too much work to be done to add stamps, not to mention banknotes, to Numista.
Hopefully you guys understand. I love Numista, and if banknotes are added, I won't be able to work for Numista as much as I do now.
NOTE:If any banknotes are added to Numista, I will have them erased from the catalogue.

OR it will attract new people to the site and hopefully additional moderators (which we need).
I think it's unfair to compare banknotes to tokens. Banknotes are issued by central authorities while tokens are not. That's why it's difficult to catalog the tokens, because they are issued by literally anyone, the list will never been complete. That problem isn't true with banknotes, while time consuming it's not an infinite list.
Also while the token list is messy, it's not useless, and could be improved with clearer boundaries on what's in and what's not.
Quote: IrnBru001OR it will attract new people to the site and hopefully additional moderators (which we need).
What we need is the Website Administrator (Xavier) to help us out.
I think we have enough members on Numista (20k) and with the amount of work that is amounted with coins, I think that we should leave notes alone for now. I honestly think we should rid the tokens section as well.

Surely, Numista is not designed to administer Banknotes, neither Roman coins and Ottoman coins for that matter.
If Xavier has decided that Numista will have no banknotes section, then HE should get out from the background and announce that decision.
He has been ignoring everyone here for more than 7 months now, which I find very irresponsible and unrespectful to everyone here, because everyone above have put a lot of energy into improving Xavier's baby one way or another.
Unfortunately, I could copy this paragraph to at least 20 more forum posts
I understand your frustration. We can only await the big man's return...we the team are looking to have Xavier delegate to us some of the work load he usually carries out.

Just for the record:
116 days has passed since the commitment of Bam777, stating that XAVIER will change the systems.
That is: Onehundredsixteen days, ONLY: 116 to make a decision on something, which to a normal decision-maker would be 10 seconds! ---- see above I was estimating 500 days, so we all should be very happy for the service Xavier provides us!
Everyone hates the tokens section but I like it. It helps decipher if a coin is legal tender or not for the type of people who may not know and just want to find out. Is it our fault its not corrected frequently enough because no-one wants to do it. I suggest each country has its own delegate responsible for that section then everything would be just fine. Instead of one person responsible for the whole continent. Why doesn't someone just be in charge of the tokens section only. You could add in the banknotes the same way just like the tokens separated by country. Then what's next people want to start adding stamps and stock bonds and scripophily. I think the real problem is the server will overload, for all of those who remember when that happened a few years ago how slow and glitchy the site was for months, until the server update then everything just ran smoothly once that happened, and by adding all the banknotes would probably jam the server again and we couldnt even look at coins without it feeling like dialup. So in order to do the banknotes it would probably have to be a whole separate site and not just all clustered together. I collect G.I. Joes also, how about I just start adding them in too - haha - not really.
Quote: kommodoreYou really thought Numista is going to have a banknotes section?
NO,
you know I am not into banknotes at all.
But I thought Xavier can write the word: "NO" in about 117 days. That would help all those people who ARE interested in banknotes, like you, and still have a hope in their heart.
Unfortunately, it does not happen. It must be very difficult to find those 2 letters on the keyboard.
2) it seems there have been some some secret changes in the background of running this site. Again, we do not know anything about it, because, we, the peasants shall be not informed!
3) You, kommodore, have been showing enthusiasm to contribute to the catalog and have been totally ignored for months now, which we all see. I find that unacceptable and disrespectful. It also annoys me personally, as I would like to see an improved Romanian section.
I don´t get it why don´t you guys go to colnect for stamps and banknotes; it's pretty much the same style and model as here. Trust me the majority of users here is against having banknotes and stamps on this site.

Hello again!
I think everyone should take a deep breath... One thing I think we should bear in mind is that Numista is FREE to use but most surely not free to run. I presume there must be some costs in running servers etc. that are been covered by advertising, maybe. Still, I am personally very grateful to those who put work and energy in making Numista what it is and offering it to me without any payment.
Having said that, I also believe most of us are willing to contribute as they can in making this site even better, first of all contributing to the catalogue, but also coming up with ideas and suggestions. One of those ideas involves of course banknotes.
I do not think it's totally fair to compare banknotes to other collectibles like stamps, bottle-caps, dolls etc. Coins and banknotes are most surely highly related, being most of the monetary systems composed by both! Moreover is pretty common, especially over time, for coins to evolve into banknotes and vice-versa. Take for example the 1000 lire from Italy.
Personally, I think it would be extremely interesting to be able to trace that evolution on the same site. Nonetheless I understand the possible technical issues involved. Also, some of the specific field related to coins would loose significance, e.g. metal, shape, while others, like dimensions, would be better off with a different layout.
Maybe, the best compromise solution would be to set up a parallel site, as someone as already suggested on the same model of Numista, but dedicated to banknotes. This is what http://worldcoingallery.com/ and http://worldbanknotegallery.com/ do.
I think it would be enough people interested to help with this. Also, it's highly probable that the same model of advertisement would cover the costs of running the new site. If not, I would personally be prepared to pay a small contribution to make it happen, let's say 5 € or so... The idea of a fee could also work as discouragement for bad-intentioned members..
This is sad. This has been open since 2011 and I can not find 1 reply from Xavier. I buy and sell paper money and would love to trade it. As a dealer in the US, I can tell you that there are probably half as many collectors of paper as there are collectors of coins.
WHATS THE PROBLEM?
1. The basic web site is already laid out.
2. Images can be shared from Don's paper money gallery just like it is with coins.
3. The advertising revenue will make this site profitable.
Let's use some of that great French engineering ability and get this done and move on.
Xavier recently wrote to me that he is not interested in a Numista for banknotes and that he also doesn't want to invest his time in it. So now please finally stop nagging about it because [luckily] it's just not going to happen. Also you should better invest your time in editing the catalog.
I'm sorry Euromunt, but that's not the answer I expect from a Numista team member. The guy is a member since only 5 days and this was his very first forum post. And the answer he gets is that he is nagging. Is that the kind of welcome a Numista team member gives to new members?
And as second answer you say: "Also you should better invest your time in editing the catalog".
To see then that change requests stay pending for months?
Or am I now nagging too?
I'm sorry if my answer is impolite but your answer is not the right attitude of a team member.

Dear Essor Prof,
My message was not directly meant for Bobby Ghelani 58, it was meant for the members who have been on here for quite some time but still keep this thread alive for years now although Xavier has been very clear from the beginning that there won't be a Numista for banknotes.
If it would have been meant for Bobby Ghelani 58, I would have quoted his message. You are right that change requests are pending for way too long, this is mainly due to inactive or lazy referees (53%) the other 47% of the current pending requests has to be validated by the team. Unfortunately there is a major backlog in validating these requests as we can hardly keep up with the new requests every day, which makes that there is not much time to make big cuts in the number of old pending requests for both the team and the inactive referees. There are only a few team members who actively validate requests. The team (referees and team members) lacks dedicated experts. There is nothing that we [the team] can do about that. I think that you maybe better should get some respect for the people who currently try to keep the entire thing running [And for sure for the very few referees and team members who stayed here during the absence of Xavier].
- I read every forum post since my membership so I knew exactly what you meant. But I also know for sure that a new nember can't know that. And even I don't quote you, you know exactly that this reply is intended for you (and not only because I started with "Dear Niels" but because of the contents of my reply). You quote someone when there are other posts between the post you want to reply and the reply itself. If there are no other posts in between, quote or no quote the previous poster will experience the next post as a reply on his post. Although I'm sure you didn't mean that, I'm sure Bobby Ghelani 58 will experience your reply as a personal attack in stead of a warm welcome. Numista team numbers should be an example and I think your reply should have been much more diplomatic. That's why I felt the need to react.
- Long pending change requests are very frustrating. And I disagree that the team can't do anything about that. If the team lacks dedicated experts they have to go to plan B: dedicated active referees in stead of inactive experts. Referees who are inactive for months and months should be replaced immediately. Even a less expert but dedicated referee is better than an inactive one, how big his expertise might be.
- If you've read my previous posts you would know I already have expressed my deepest respect for active referees and team members several times. I love Numista very much. And I want to co-operate to make Numista better and better every day. But that doesn't mean we have to be blind for all those things that don't work like it should be.
The banknote section will permit to do swap with them at this place. No other site with banknotes only can make it as fruitful. Numista already added the token section, which is less popular then banknotes, though it became possible to swap coins on tokens. So it is left to expect the new decision from the headquarters.
I don't even know how to code at all, but I am learning just for this purpose, and maybe some of us (fluke?) can coordinate through PM with me and we can make a website. PM me if you are interested. I have already started.

Numista is both genial and "simple"...it shouldn't take long to design a sister site.
To me it seems basically composed by three databases.
This is not a critique but rather a praise: simple is beautiful when it comes to coding.

I reckon you should create a companion banknote gallery website.
I would be more than happy to contribute photos of notes that are in my own collection.
