New Zealand - I have uploaded my New Zealand collection from 2002 to 2006 notes issued for general circulation. No notes were issued in 2001 and only one note was released in 2000 (NZ$10 Millennium). However annual collector sets of 1000 were issued between 1999 to 2004. Please feel free to view my collection. Whilst I have all the annual sets with serial no #98, I have only uploaded the 1999 set and the 2004 annual set uploaded has the serial number of AA04 000031. I also have the set no AA04 000036. Needless to say, this is my spare set for the 2004 notes set and if anyone interested to buy and trade with me on this set, please let me know. I can tell you that the issue price for this annual set was NZ$295 per set. Below were the issue prices for all annual sets issued since 1999: -

1999 - Face Value NZ$185, Issue Price NZ$240.00;
2000 - Face Value NZ$195, Issue Price NZ$255.00 (6 notes);
2001 - Face Value NZ$185, Issue Price NZ$250.00;
2002 - Face Value NZ$185, Issue Price NZ$270.00;
2003 - Face Value NZ$185, Issue Price NZ$270.00;
2004 - Face Value NZ$185, Issue Price NZ$295.00.

2004 was the last annual set issued. Whilst a thousand sets were issued from 1999 to 2004, it is believed that only the 2000 sets were completed sold out. Since then all unsold sets have been locked away at the Reserve Bank vault and I am not sure if those reminder sets will be ever released for sale at a later date. Time will tell.

New Hebrides (now Vanuatu) - 100, 500 and 1000 Francs. Got these at a very affortable price. Excellent notes with beautiful and nice colours.

Vanuatu - A complete set of 4 notes (Vt100 to Vt5000) issued under the previous name of Central Bank of Vanuatu from 1982 to 1989.

Vanuatu - I have updated the Vt200 Commemorative with serial no AA000555. If you are looking for one of this, perhaps drop me a line and I will see what I can do. Of course it will not be this #555 note, but it will be with low serial #5** too.

I have now collected a complete set of all Vanuatu notes issued since independence (1980), including the two commemorative notes. Please click here to view all the notes.

North Korea - 200 Won Specimen dated 2005. The postage is more expensive than the price I paid for this note. Perhaps the postage should be my purchase price and the price I paid for should be the postage!
