P.S. Cass I love those older 1918 Ukrainian Notes!!!! Want them :P
@druzhynets
Oh, I thought you were Polish! z|
But yes, I agree; it is very tragic what has happened there recently.

@Salaction
Thank you! :8D
They're both actually very cheap; under 10€ each.

I actually bought the second one (the 1000 Karbovantsiv) from cgb's retail store in Paris the last time I was there:

Well, a lot of people think that I'm Polish because I talk a lot about Poland (and speak fluent Polish). I moved from Ukraine to Poland at the age of 21 and then lived there for 6 years before moving to the Netherlands last year. Warsaw is my favorite city and, of course, Poland has left an impact - those were the years when I finished my studies and got my first real job and then got married. In terms of numismatics, I started to collect coins seriously 5 years ago - in Warsaw (although I collected random coins since I was 9), because there was (and still is) a nice flea market every Sunday.

But now I build my life almost from the scratch... again!

Poland is actually one of those few countries in Europe I have not yet had the chance to visit (also includes Belgium, Luxembourg, Ireland, Iceland, Romania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Slovenia, Cyprus, Malta, Ukraine, Belarus, the Baltics, and the micronations of San Marino and Andorra).

By the way, about a MPCC-style banknotes contest; how would you organise that? It would probably be a shorter and smaller affair than the MPCC that just ended. Either way I'm getting excited; I have a few nice notes I set aside just for something like this. <:D

12th September: United Kingdom

(Scotland and NI had their own days previously, but if you missed those feel free to post here)
Don't have many banknotes from the United Kingdom, only two, but here they go :)

https://colnect.com/en/banknotes/banknote/44235-5_Pounds-2002-2015_Issue_-_Bank_of_England-United_Kingdom_of_Great_Britain_Northern_Ireland

https://colnect.com/en/banknotes/banknote/44231-10_Pounds-1999-2015_Issue_-_Bank_of_England-United_Kingdom_of_Great_Britain_Northern_Ireland

Anyone can tell me by the way what exact year my 5 Pounds Banknote is from? I don't see a year and on colnect I see it must be this note, because of the autograph, but it says first issued 2012 and last issued 2014, so it could be three years? How to find out.

​I don't know where you found the 2012/2014 date info, the note is printed in 2002 after my knowledge.
Also, around the big white circle on the front is a text, here you find the 2002 date.
Here we go! :wiz:

For this one, I lived in the UK for like 16 and a half years, so I better have some nice stuff from there!
I'm actually a little disappointed I passed up the chance to buy a white pound note, maybe a £5.
13th September: United States of America
Okay, here we go; presenting, for the USA:

USA Fractional Currency

Series of 1863 USA 25 cents


Series of 1874 USA 10 cents


Series of 1874 USA 25 cents

USA Local issues

1840 USA 1 Dollar (Cincinnati & Whitewater Canal Company; uniface)

USA Civil War issues

1864 USA 5 Dollars (Confederate States of America)

I'm not sure if the Confederate States was covered back in C, but here's my note from it just in case (too lazy to check! 0:))

USA Hawaii issues (ND 1942)


Series 1935 USA (Hawaii) 1, 5 dollars

I think we also had Hawaii back in H, but I didn't have anything to post then.
United States of America: Large size notes

1 dollar 1923


5 dollars 1914 (9-I; Minneapolis)


20 dollars 1914 (10-J; Kansas City)

Nicknamed "horse blankets", the smaller size notes (that are still the current size of all US banknotes in circulation today!) began being issued in 1928.

United States of America: Small size notes

1 dollar 1928 A


1 dollar 1934


1 dollar 1935 A



1 dollar 1957


2 dollars 1928 G


2 dollars 1953 B


2 dollars 1963


5 dollars 1928 F


5 dollars 1953 B


5 dollars 1953 B


10 dollars 1934 C


20 dollars 1934 A
Bonus, just like for the UK! (I hope I didn't overrun USA day... :P):

USA Military Payment Certificates

USA MPC 5 cents, Series 1947


USA MPC 1 dollar, Series 1947


USA MPC 25 cents, Series 1948


USA MPC 5, 10, 25 cents, Series 1952


USA MPC 10 cents, Series 1966


USA MPC 5 cents, Series 1968


I remember reading that the last two, issued during the Vietnam War, are extremely common in Southeast Asia; since the US military switched out the different Series quite often, the old series would lose their value and stacks of them would just be abandoned by the GIs on the roadside. I bought those two cheap over in Singapore, so that seems to back that up.
that is..impressive!!! :8D:8D
Almost didn't dare to post them, but my less impressive notes from the United States of America here they are.

Fun fact, Vanuatu is one of only two modern countries in the world to have been ruled as a "condominium", or by two countries at once over the same territory (the UK and France), the other is Sudan (UK and Egypt).

​If I recall correctly it's usually a compromise to solve an argument about who owns this territory.

In this case, there were settlers from both neighbouring British colonies and French ones in Oceania; but neither side wanted to cede sovereignty over the islands to the other, so they came to that arrangement in 1906, which lasted until 1980.

Their flag is pretty weird too:
