  1. Recent #numismatic #news has been dominated by the European Central Bank's survey on proposed new euro #Banknote designs. But they aren't the only ones looking to update their notes. The government of #India has authorised the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to print an initial batch of 2 billion #polymer #banknotes for field trials, the government informed Parliament on Monday.
    The RBI has recently floated a tender to procure material for polymer banknotes, reviving a proposal that has been under consideration for nearly two decades.

  2. A few months ago, I wrote up a 1/2 Duit from the Dutch East India Company: coinofnote.com/1754-dutch-east

    If you collect #Banknotes, then you will be interested in an article from this week's E-Sylum on the banknotes from the same currency: coinbooks.org/v29/esylum_v29n2

    The article notes: "Netherlands Indies paper money offers more than a record of colonial finance. Across its portraits, coats of arms, multilingual inscriptions, and carefully composed figures, it traces the shifting authority, identity, and visual culture of a region shaped by commerce, empire, occupation, and revolution. From the Dutch East India Company's early foothold in Java to the final years before Indonesian independence, these notes reveal a world in transition-and the 1933-1939 De Javasche Bank series stands among its most evocative artistic expressions."

  3. Good Lord. It really seems to be the case that with enough power and little enough shame, you can do *anything* to stroke your ego.

  4. BANKNOTES SALVAGED FROM THE SS EGYPT

    This week's E-Sylum has an excerpt from an article about a shipment of new Indian banknotes recovered from the 1922 wreck of the SS Egypt. It is in turn excerpted from Rezwan Razack's book Paper Money of the Princely State of Hyderabad.

  5. Given the current furor in the #UK regarding #banknote redesign, it seems a good time to mention De Nederlandsche Bank's "Designing Banknote Identity", an expansive and copiously illustrated text suitable for anyone interested in such things... #notaphily

  6. Ich habe mir jetzt endlich den langgehegten Wunsch erfüllt Milliardär zu sein. Gut, für den Gegenwert kriege ich vielleicht einen Laib Brot aber immerhin! 🎩 💰 #zimbabwe #geld #banknote #großerReichtum #hyperinflation

  8. Very successful #banknote and #coin auction today - some of the #Polish coins fetched amazing prices. While the top price was predictably achieved by a #gold #Ducat which went for £2,000, quite a few #silver coins fetched prices in the hundreds. Other than a #telephone bidder (a longstanding client who spends big) all our bids today were obtained via the two online platforms we use (www.the-saleroom.com and www.easyliveauction.com).

  9. Bargeld gilt als anonymes Zahlungsmittel. Dabei ist anhand der Seriennummer durchaus ersichtlich, welche Routen Geldscheine nehmen. Die Infrastruktur zum Bargeld-Tracking wird immer weiter ausgebaut. Auch deutsche Sicherheitsbehörden nutzen sie für Ermittlungen.
