Transnistria - Trans-Dniestr or Transdniestria or whatever name or spelling you want to use. Transnistria, a strip of land, is a breakaway state that is located between Moldova on the left and Ukraine on the right. Following the breakup of the Soviet Union empire, Transnistria declared independence in 1990 and then fought a brief war with Moldova in 1992 as it did not want to be part of Moldova. These 4 notes of 1, 5, 10 and 25 Rubles (full set) were released in 2014, celebrating the nation's 20th Year of National Currency, the Transnistrian Ruble. These commemorative notes were issued in separate folders and is limited to 2020 sets only. The designs for these notes are the same as current issues but with commemorative text (1994-2014) overprint added. Here, the four notes that I have posted are all have matching serial numbers. The folders are printed on a A4 size and it's folded into 3 equal parts. There are no plastic sleeve to hold the note on each folder, but instead on the center of the folder there are have two U shape cuts to allow the note to be "clipped" onto, if you want to. I personally suggest that you do not do that as in the long run, the notes may get damaged with an indented marks on the notes (both top and bottom edges). I am not sure what language the folder is printed with (Russian or Cyrillic/Moldovan alphabet) but there are no English to translate them. The official languages in Transnistria are Russian, Romanian and Ukrainian. Other than to a collector, the Transnistrian Rubles has little or no negotiation value outside it's territory. Transnistria is not a member of the United Nations and is not recognised by any of the United Nations member state.

Paraguay - This is a commemorative note, issued to celebrate the country's Central Bank's 50th Anniversary - Banco Central del Paraguay. The bank was created by law on 25.03.1952. This note was issued in 2002 to celebrate it's golden Jubilee. The design of this note is the same as previous issued, except that commemorative texts were added to the note just under the currency value of 1000 - "Cincuentenario del Banco Central del Paraguay" (50th Anniversary of the Central Bank of Paraguay). This note was released to the public as normal circulating type. This is a cheap note and it's making it interesting to collect them. I hope you have one too.

Gambia - This is a full set of notes which was issued in 2013. This set comprises of 5 notes with denominations of 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 Dalasis. The designs for these notes have been in circulation since 1996. In 2015, the country released new series of banknotes which included two new denominations of 20 and 200 Dalasis. The 20 Dalasis is a new denomination replacing the 25 Dalasis and a new 200 Dalasis value. In addition to these, it also issued a new 20 Dalasis Polymer note celebrating the country's 20th year of Progress and Self-Reliance.
