France - 50 Francs 1994
This is definitely my favorite banknote in my collection.
Portugal - 10$000 Réis 1799 (reissued during the civil war in 1828 by the Miguelites)
My 2nd most favourite banknote but I think that it's the most interesting one.
Belgium - 100 Francs 1952
My 3rd most favourite banknote.

The only note in my collection:
My dad found it in the loft. I don't have any idea as to why an Iraqi banknote was in my loft.

I do not really collect banknotes, or stamps, but have some from swaps.
These I have I do rather like ...
Oh and I have this error Bank of England note, with no serial numbers ...
One that I would like is this famous naughty note ...
which a clue is the palm trees on the right. The designer got fired for it I seem to remember.
And finally hope to get one of these when it is released in UK later this year ...
the first UK banknote made of plastic, like some other countries already have.

Czechoslowakia - 20 Korun - 1988 - P#95
I really like the backside of the Czechoslovakian 20 koruna bill, the nicest one of that series in my opinion.
Germany - 100 Mark - 1920 - P#69a
here I also like the backside, simple but nice
German Empire - 1910 - 100 Mark - P#42
here I like the design with Germania and some symbols of economical and military might

Quote: "Idolenz"Czechoslowakia - 20 Korun - 1988 - P#95I was actually considering posting this note, it looks like something from a medieval fantasy tale blended with modern scientific themes.

Yugoslavia, Socialist Federal Republic - 20 Dinara 1944

Not really a bank note guy. I have a few. I would certainly buy one from short lived colonies that didn't issue coins.
I got 3 types of Gibraltar notes over there but only could spare £5 to keep

Quote: "Oklahoman"North Korea is the best Korea? I dont understand your humor.The banknote looks so happy that it's basically a propaganda poster, the "great leader" is even surrounded by beautiful pink flowers and the backside where there's a house is made to look like a paradise but for some reason the newer series look very depressing.
I'm not a North Korean spy who's spreading propaganda through numismatic forums.

As with a lot of items I collect, the theme of the items I like the best always comes from the first and second world wars.
This note, as far as I am aware is a prisoner of war note from WWI and is dated 1917
The three banknotes below are also prisoner of war notes but from WWII.
These were given to me in the late 1970's but I guy with whom I worked with for a few years. He always kept them in his wallet, as these were his, which he brought back from Germany in 1945.
I know they are a bit tatty, but the history behind them is immense
The other note below is also from WWII but was purchased many years ago to sit along side of the other three, but it does not hold the same feelings as I have for the other three above, but include it for others interest.

I'm not sure if this is a legal banknote (because I don't collect them), but often my friends give me pieces like this (because I collect coins). Only I know it is an Allied Military Currency - WWII. Anyway ... this is the piece I like most of all I have.

Do you like uniface notes?
For people who do not know/remember what is a miniassegno
One of my oldest "legal tender" notes
My biggest one in size
A country you won't see really often, even as a former European note
Double effect: a commemorative note AND a polymer note
I've another commemorative note to add later, which is also a privately issued note with no legal tender but which use is reknown inside its territory.
What about a note depicting a coin?
And later I'll add my oldest note too.

Sorry Chomp, but when it comes to US notes the term "Legal Tender" has a specific meaning and that's not a "Legal Tender" note. While I realize it says "This note is Legal Tender..." that's not the definition. Legal Tender notes say "United States Note" in the upper margin where your note says "Federal Reserve Note" and they all have red seals.
They were first issued during the civil war under the Legal Tender Act of 1862 to pay the troops, and they were given distinctive red seals to indicate they were not backed by specie on deposit at the Federal Reserve. They continued to be issued sporadically up to 1966 (only the $100 was produced with that year). Today, all US currency is effectively Legal Tender; thus, the red seal notes will probably never be issued again.

Quote: "druzhynets"That's what I thought, yes. (Sorry for calling it Romanian - they're essentially dialects of each other, and I wasn't sure if it was Moldovan specifically.)

It's just that the weird old-fashioned Cyrillic was throwing me off - I didn't think it was still used anywhere outside church texts by the 19th century.

To be honest I'm not that much in to the Yugoslav banknotes. I have a some of the earlier years completed, but mostly it's just a little here and there. I might pick it up some day and complete the 1992 and 1993 series, but for the moment I am focused on to complete other series - and to complete my world map!

Luxembourg is quite easy to find on eBay.
PS: I already show this one, but I didn't need to check eBay to receive Luxembourg notes... I received a legal tender note before the euro arrived.

Finally got a new album to store all the notes that I had wandering around in my room... Kudos for Leuchtturm for making a 300-slot album that fits almost any size of banknote and for selling it for a reasonable price.
