November 2011 Postings

November 26, 2011 - Here I have re posted all the Denmark note issued between 2009-2011. The 2009-2011 Bridge series comes with at least 5 signature varieties. I am not sure if there are more. This series of notes are signed by the Board of Directors, namely Torben Nielson (full set), Nils Berstein (full set), Hugo Fry Jensen (1000 Krone), Per Callesen (1000 Krone) and Jens Thomsen (50 to 500 Krone). Again, I am not sure if all signatures are appeared on all denominations either. All notes are counter signed by Lars Gerrild Sorensen.

November 23, 2011 -  Indonesia 1000 Rupiah. This is a reprint of the 2000 series with year date of 2000/2001. The reference number for this note, according to the SCWPM is P141b. The 1000 Rupiah is currently the lowest banknote denomination circulating in the country and needless to say this is also a very affortable note to collect too. Cheap Cheap!

November 19, 2011 - Hungary 2008 prints. There is a birthday celebration in the family today (not mine) and so I thought I put up few more notes on my site today. Here I have added the notes of 1000 and 5000 Forint to the original post. The first two notes (500 and 2000 Forint) was first posted on 15/8/2011.

November 16, 2011 - Sweden 100 Krona. 2005 P66. A commemorating note issued to celebrate the 250th Anniversary of the Tumba Paper Mill. In 1755, the Swedish National Bank established a paper mill called Tumba Bruk in Tumba, a town located on the outskirts of Stockholm. The purpose of this company was to manufacture all the Swedish banknotes required by the country.. In 2002, Tumba Bruk was sold to the current owner Crane & Co, a paper banknotes supplier. This 100 Krona commemorative note is rather a large note measuring 170mm x 92mm. Original issue price for this folder note was 150 Kroner. The folder is the size of the A4 paper.

November 11, 2011 - Barbados $50. I was lucky to get this replacement note at a very affordable price. This note is listed as Pick 40a (40r) and was issued in 1989. The Governor signature on this note is Dr Kurleigh King. I have previously saw this note listed on Internet auction site with asking price of US$260+. Of course, I didn't paid for this kind of asking price. It's cheaper than you thought.

November 8, 2011 - Kazakhstan 10,000 Tenge. Another commemorative note issued to celebrate the country’s 20^th year of independence. The design of the note on the front is in vertical format. This note was released on 4.7.2011. Similar main features retained for the design of this note as pre previous note of same demonination issued, such as the "Kazak Eli ", the  Residence of the President of the country and the contours of the map of Kazakhstan territory. The note issued is inscripted with the following words "KAZAKHSTAN TAUELSIZDIGINE JYIRMA JYL" or "20 years of Independence of Kazakhstan", including the Independence Day of 20-year celebration logo. Quantity issued, 30,000,000 pieces.

November 4, 2011 - Cayman Islands 2010. A complete set of new notes released for general circulation on the 4.4.2011. These notes were released under section 18 of the Monetary Authority Law (2010 Revision). Previous laws were the 1971 Currency Law, then followed by the Currency Law of 1974, The Currency Law was then repealed and replaced by the 1983 Currency Law Revised. This is the forth series of notes issued by Cayman Islands and as such the "D" letter prefix. This series comprises of 6 notes - $1, $5, $10, $25, $50 and $100. All previous notes issued since 1971 are still legal tender in Cayman Islands. It should be noted that the first Cayman Islands currency was issued in 1971. Prior to that, they used Jamaican Dollars;

November 1, 2011 - Brunei 2011 "D" Series. Here I have posted 3 polymer commemorative notes all issued on the 18.7.2011. These notes were released for circulation to coincide with the celebration of the Sultan of Brunei's 65th birthday (dob 15.7.1946). These notes replaced the "C" series polymer notes which was first released in 1996 (still legal tender). Only 3 notes were released for this special occasion. It seems that nowadays, Central Banks around the world have a habit in releasing new banknotes to commemorating special events even there are no overprints or additional special texts imprinted on the notes. I have few spare sets for exchange at face value if interested.
