Paper Money and Banknote Collecting Events This Weekend
Do You Miss The Old Banknotes From France?
There is something about those old French Banknotes, they are colourful, encompassing so much detail, what beautiful notes they produced in days gone by.
I collect world banknotes but I'm sure if I ever decided to narrow it down to just one country I'ld choice France most probably.
Just behold the beauty:
The 1940 "Violet"
The 1956 Bonaparte
The 1977 "Quentin de la Tour"Wednesday, 23 July 2008
Paper Money To be Burned in Taipei, C hina
Did you know that it's a custom to burn paper money in Taipei? Incredible stuff, but there you go this is the right spirit to have, their attachment to the much sort after paper is non existent it seems. There is a credit crunch around us here so we in the West wouldn't dare increase our hardship by burning the little we have.
But there is another consideration that has been forgotten and that is, environmental safety, burning the notes would create a heavy mass of pollution. The government is therefore doing a lot to ensure that people are aware that this practice though grounded in their culture has little or no place in todays world as consideration has to be given to keeping the environment from pollution.
Will you be burning anything this summer?

China's Olympic Banknotes are Instant Collectors Items
The Bank of China has started issuing the Olympic Banknotes, and I think history is being made right before our eyes. If I am wrong do correct me, but this is the first time that a new banknote has had such instant success. Just watch this video and let me know what you think. The value of these banknotes has skyrocketed even before they get out of the banks.

£20 Note Was The Most Copied British Banknote
Did you know that in 2007 a total of 290,000 counterfeit banknotes were removed from circulation and a majority of these were £20 notes.
In actual fact the Bank of England released some figures recently and out of the 290,000 fake notes retrieved, 276,000 were £20 notes!
This is the reason why we actually have new £20 notes, the redesigned banknotes have improved security features. And this strategy has actually worked as large as the proportion of the fake £20 notes are , the Bank of England figures show that counterfeiting the £20 notes is on a decline. The number of notes taken out of circulation had decreased by 24 per cent and the total face value of fake notes has been reduced by £1,800,000.
My Paper Money Collecting Absence.
Apologies to all my Paper Money Collecting readers who have patiently waited for a new post for over a week now. I have not been on holidays or I would have informed you. But life all the same has been very busy and challenging. I am hoping that now things will slowly get back to normal and I can continue blogging.
Just to let you know that I may not be able to make frequent posts as before but there should be at least a weekly post and one on events, making a total of two weekly from now on. As life improves I shall get up to speed.
Thanks for bearing with me folks.
