1st September 2020
Dominican Republic - After waiting for 20 years, I finally managed to get this commemorative note for my collection. Whilst I do not believe this note is rare, the selling price for this note was way too expensive to me and for that reason, I have not bought it earlier. With this note, I now almost have a complete collection of all banknotes issued in 2000 celebrating the new millennium. Some people said that technically the new millennium should be celebrated in 2001 and not 2000. Well, who am I here to argue with? Interesting fact is that not a single country in South America or in Africa had issued a new banknote celebrating the new millennium in 2000.

Great Britain - This is the latest £20 polymer note issued by the Bank of England, released on 20.02.2020. This is the third note of the polymer series, first issued in 2016. Banknotes issued by the Bank of England are also legal tender in both Scotland and Northern Ireland, in addition to those banknotes issued by the commercial banks. The auction house, Spink also auctioned off 267 pieces of AA01 (first prefix) of this new £20 notes. I have also detailed some of prices realised on my post. Feel free to check this out.

Fiji - Here is a full set of the 1974 specimen series first reprints. This set consists of 6 notes from 50 cents to $20. The $20 was the largest denomination at the time. It is not sure when these notes were issued but if I have to guess, it would be between 1975 to 1976. The interesting fact about this issue is that the 50 cents note was not released into circulation. With the specimen note for the 50 cents printed, one would also assume that the authority had also printed the circulating notes too. I wonder if they have destroyed all these printed 50 cents notes. The specimen note is the only way to get this note. If you have the 50 cents circulating note, then you are a very lucky person.

15th September 2020
Fiji - Another full set of specimen notes from $ 2 to $20. It is not sure when these normal circulating notes were issued, but I believe it was between 1977 to 1980. More to come.

21st September 2020
Fiji - Another set of five specimen notes issued in 1980 with the signatures of David J Barnes & H J Tomkins. The denominations of these notes are $1, $2, $5, $10 and $20, all have four cancelled hole punches. If anyone knows the initials of HJ Tomkins, please let me know. All I know was that he was seconded from the Bank of England all I can say is that he was from Great Britain. More specimens to come too.

24th September 2020
Fiji - Another specimen set of 4 notes. These are the only four normal notes issued between 1989 to 1991 for public circulations. The first three notes were issued in 1989 and the last note of $10 was issued in 1991. This is also the last series of the $1 note. The $20 piece was not included in this series.

27th September 2020
Yemen Arab Republic - An odd note of 20 rials from the 1990 to 1997 series. A full set consists of 9 notes from 10 to 500 rials. This is the best I can do at the moment.
