Northern Ireland Ulster Bank Limited - £10 and £20 notes both printed with the date of 1.1.2014. These are the only two notes issued with this date sighted so far. With all four major banks issuing banknotes in Northern Ireland, it is not surprised that not all denominations are printed on an annual basis by any of the four major banks. The last £10 and £20 issued by the Ulster Bank were both dated 3.1.2012. This £20 note was released in early 2014. However I am not sure about the £10 note. The design for these notes changed little since the 60s, despite the ownership of the bank changed hands few times since then. Apart from Northern Ireland, only Scotland, Hong Kong and Macau where local banknotes are still issued by commercial banks. The signature on these notes are signed by the bank's Chief Executive, Jim Brown.

Saint Helena - With the recent released of the 2012 reprints of £10 and £20, so does the specimen notes too. Here are the two specimen notes for the £10 and £20 printed with new date of 2012 and new signatures released in 2014. Saint Helena is a British Overseas Territory located remotely in the South Atlantic Ocean. The currency of Saint Helena is at parity with the British pound sterling. Saint Helena was once the home of Napoleon Bonaparte (b. 1769-1821) from 1815 to until his death in 1821. He was exiled by the British government to this island following the defeat of the French at the Battle of Waterloo. Bonaparte died on the island on 5.5.1821, aged 51 (his remains were returned to France in 1840 and entombed in a crypt under the dome of Les Invaildes in Paris). These reprint notes are all signed by the members of the Currency Board of Saint Helena. The board comprises of four members (Commissioners). The facsimile signatures on these notes are Andrew Wells, Paul Blessington, Anthony Kilner and Gillian Francis. The Currency Board was established in 1976 and the role of the Commissioners are to meet on a regular basis to discuss proposals relating to the issue of all new bank notes, circulation and commemorative coins. The specimen quantity issued is not known but based on last issues, it would expected to be around 300 pieces, after all there is only one commercial bank in Saint Helena and also there are no major changes to the designs of these notes too. Therefore it is unlikely that more than 300 pieces were printed, in my opinion.

Madagascar - 2000 Ariary Hybrid note. Here I have added the second Hybrid note issued by Madagascar. Like the 500 Ariary, this note was first reported in late 2014, but I am not sure when these were actually released as there is no change in designs on the notes. The first prefix/suffix for this note was reported to be B/P.

Venezuela - 100 Bolivares 1980 Commemorative. 150th Anniversary of the death of Simon Bolivar. Simón José Antonio de la Santísima Trinidad Bolívar y Palacios Ponte y Blanco (1783-1830) was a military and political leader. During his life time, he was involved in the independence of many northern South American nations from the Spanish Empire. Today he is considered as one of the most influential politicians in the history of the South America. He died at the relative young age of 47 from tuberculosis.

Indonesia - A full set of the 2014 issue. The design of these notes will be re modified slightly with new name/wordings added and title etc and will be released on stages with the first note (100,000 Rupiah) already released on 17.08.2014. This current series was first introduced in the year 2000 (1000 Rupiah), and then followed by the 5000 Rupiah in 2001. The 2000 Rupiah was then added (new denomination) in 2009 and the 1000 Rupiah was discontinued in 2010. In addition to this, I have also updated the 10000 Rupiah 2007 issues and also the 1000, 5000 and 50000 Rupiah for the 2009 issues

New Zealand - Three notes from the 2014 prints. I believe these are the only polymer notes issued with this year date. There are no change to the designs since it was first issued in 1999. The signature on these notes belong to the Governor, Graeme Wheeler.
