In addition to coins, I collect paper money from around the world. Here's one of my more scarce pieces:

Yes, I do! 
I have about 1,500 notes from almost 200 countries. And just like I am trying to do with my coins, I am trying to get one note from each existing country - at the same time I'm trying to complete sets at get "all the good ones"
You can find my whole collection here.
I will also try to continue to add them all on my banknotebank account, but I haven't been active there in ages.

I also collect them but mostly cheap notes and the ones were I like the design. Also with a focus on Japan Germany and occupation notes from WWI+II (Axis + Allies).
For the European Union and just the basic 10 types until now 1,048.64$

Not catalogued any of my notes yet, not quite decided where to log them.

I'm not an expert in any kind of coins, but I reckon I'm good at research and will do my best to help. Feel free to tell me my identifications/valuations/gradings are wrong. It's the only way I'll learn.

Quote: "Peter M. Graham"Coins are enough for me. My plan is to send all the notes I receive annually (at 1/2 their collectors value) to a loving home in exchange for some coins. I will post on Numista about November.Hey Peter! No need to "send" them - I can come and pick them up!
Seriously though, keep me in mind when/if you decide to part with them.

Quote: "smoked_caramel"Banknotes is my secondary collection. I'm not as active with it as coins. I have just over 500 notes from 142 countries but mainly cheap ones. My most expensive with the value of $20 is US $20 dollars note. :-)Nice collection, I particularly liked you notes from Yugoslavia. Here's one of mine (it's part of my "hyperinflation" collection):
I kind of have 3 goals with notes at the moment:
1) At least one from each country (just building up country count)
2) Architecture: anything with buildings, various landmark structures, etc.
3) Animals: those that were meant to be on the note (excluding small ones on coats of arms, holograms, etc.)
Here is my collection on Colnect.

Quote: "ngdawa"Yes, I do!Another nice collection, I liked your notes with QEII on them, but I noticed you had none from Canada. Are you afraid of the "Devil's Face?"

Quote: "derf"Wow, 1783 notes! I went through all 394 from Russia, they're amazing, but no Mavrodi funny money?
Quote: "Geison"I am keeping any note that for some reason end on my hands, I would love to collect them, but that would need an extra investment since coins are already taking a big part of my wage.A full set from Kyrgyzstan (20, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000, 5000), at present, would be 93.22 USD
For example, one set of banknotes of my country (2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100) would cost 48,50 USD of face value.
Just wondering about the sets of other countries...
I also collect banknotes. Collection is 1,700+

Quote: "Idolenz"I also collect them but mostly cheap notes and the ones were I like the design. Also with a focus on Japan Germany and occupation notes from WWI+II (Axis + Allies).I have made my map more simple. Since the amount of banknotes changed almost every day, it would be impossible for me to keep track with colours. I'm just trying to fill the world map red. Just a few white left.

And yes, I am country the East Caribbean, West and Central African notes for each country depending on the Country Letter. With Europe I have not counted the Euro (even though they follow the same system).
I haven't counted Yemen, even though I have notes from both Yemen Arab Republic and Democratic Republic of Yemen, I don't have from the modern united Yemen.
I have Gabon and Botswana on the way in, and today I could finally add The Bahamas.
Red = I have at least 1 banknotes from this country
White = I don't have any banknotes from this country
I am very proud of my soon completed Eritrea and South Sudan but also of my North Korean collection and my complete series of Zimbabwe.

I like collecting things that have some historical significance, and banknotes is no exception. I have too many to post, but here is one from my collection:
Shreveport, Louisiana: $5 Mar. 10, 1863 (Criswell-14)
One of the few Southern notes with an overtly patriotic vignette, this $5 depicts the South striking down the North and its eagle. The vignette is similar to, but not the same as, Duncan's vignette on the CSA $2 Treasury Note.

Blue = Both a coin and a banknote
Orange = just a banknote
Green = just a coin
Grey = neither
Some rare banknotes include South Carolina 75 cent banknote, British Malta, Canada Devil's Ear banknote, Montenegro banknote from 1915, US $5 and $10 bill from 1950, and South Vietnam banknotes

Mexican banknotes, before the 20's and after the 10's its a disaster (likely mexican coins during the revolution) because almost every state had his own coinage and banknotes, adding people really hated banknotes, until the 20's it became common, but before the people used to bury or burn them

I collect all manner of banknotes as a secondary collection, got maybe 400-500 on my last count which is a mix of old, new and rare. I try and buy them in when I can but do not search for elusive or expensive banknotes.
I get a few banknotes and coins donated to me through my You Tube Channel which is always nice as I can return the favor by sending them coins

I think I googled 'png world map' and this was one hit (without the blue sea) there are more complex once but filling them as a bit tedious. Then I simply used paint and the paint bucket et voilà.
Just don't use jpeg or other compressed formats ... with those artifacts filling the countries is no fun.

Here is my country collection using paint. The colors are strictly to show separation of the countries, not a count. For most countries, I only have one or two notes.
All told, I have notes from 177 different countries.
