Hi paperbanknotes,
Nice danish notes you've posted here.
A nice blend of modern and traditional pictures used on the notes.
Noticed quite costly to acquire a complete set esp those with high denominations.
One of the reasons why ordinary working class collectors like us prefer coins to notes...LOL
For us, we normally go for the unc notes of small denominations due to financial constraints.
Thanks for sharing.

Whycollect, thanks for dropping by. Yes, banknotes collecting can be quite an expensive hobby if one is not careful. Since I have been collecting for so long, I have now come to a stage that I will try to collect them in full set if I can, unless the note is too expensive ie both Brunei and Singapore $10,000 denominations. I have put so much time and effort on this hobby that sometime, I wondered if I know what I was doing.

Hi paperbanknotes,
Guess it happens to most collectors like us.
At times, wondering maybe OCB has taken over us, haha.
Started with one, then two, then more, and more.
But looking back.
No regrets so far.
Like the saying goes, "you can spend all your money in the bank on coins and notes but at the end of the day, you will still be left with some."
Thanks for sharing.

Hi paperbanknotes,
We have seen some very colourful Antartican notes on sale.
Are they considered as numismatic items.
Thank You.

Hi Whycollect

In my opinion, they are not. To me, they are more like novelty than numismatics. I used to buy them, but have ceased collecting them now. Whether they are numismatics or not, there are always people collecting them.

Got your point here. Better stay away from them. Saw some UNC USD50 & USD100notes specimen notes on sale.
As well as smaller denominations. In fact never intended to buy them as they aren't cheap. But just curious.Thanks alot for the advise.

Hi Whycollect,

It’s all depending on what you are collecting. I am sure there are collectors solely concentrating on these kinds of ‘novelty’ notes. I would find it hard to collect as one would have to pay say USD$100 for a $100 value note and then you can’t cash the same note at your local bank at a later date should you need to do so. Whilst I am not saying that I will cash in my entire collection, but it would be good to know that the value is still there should the need arises. Like in Australia, all banknotes issued since 1901 are still legal tender, but of course one would not be that naïve to run all the way to the bank to convert any old notes into current polymernotes. Despite saying that, they are people actually doing that, and I have heard about an interesting case in the US too when a lady walking into a bank and asked to exchange one of a very rare note ($100) at face value. That Bank Manager almost fell of his chair when he saw that note. That would be another story..LOL!

Wow, I would be the happiest person to change the USD100 note for her, LOL.
Thanks alot for the info.
