1st November 2023

Kyrgyzstan - A set of three commemorative notes - 200, 500 and 1000 som, issued on 10.05.2023 celebrating the country's 30th Year of National Currency 1993 -2023. This is the fifth series of banknotes issued since its first series released in 1993, following the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991, and independence was declared on 31.08.1991. The date of these releases was exactly 30 years from the first series of banknotes issued in 1993.

Fiji - This is a 100 cents legal tender numismatic commemorative polymer note issued on 08.08.2023. This note was presumably issued, in a joint venture between Shenzhen China Coin Investment Co Limited and the Reserve Bank of Fiji, to celebrate the Year of the Dragon (10.02.2024 to 28.01.2025). As this is a numismatic item and issued with a high premium, it is unlikely you will ever see them in general circulation, just like the previous 88 cents note issued on 08.08.2022.

11th November 2023 (105th anniversary of what?)

Liberia - Here is a full set of five notes with the denomination of $20, $50, $100, $500 and $1000. These notes were all released on 06.10.2022. This series started in 2021, when a $100 was released in December 2021. I have posted all the six notes here.

Laos - I have this 1974 full set of banknotes for quite a while now and have decided to post them here today. This is a set of five notes, released in 1974 before the current communist government took over the country in 1975. Both the 10 and 1000 kip were not released (unissued) back in 1974. Some of these two unissued notes then found their ways into the collector's market and as expected, it was selling very expensive in the 90s. My old 1998 SCWPM had listed these two notes of 10 and 1000 kip with catalogue price of $600 and $800 in uncirculated condition. Today, you can get them at a very affordable price.

Pakistan - I have added two scans of the 75 rupees commemorative notes of 2022 with the prefixes of AAB and NFT. The AAB note serial number on the bottom left does not glow under UV light, despite what it has been claimed by certain websites, and I have no idea what the NFT prefix is representing.

Hong Kong, HongKong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited - Four banknotes all printed with the dates of 01.01.2020. These are the first reprints of the 2018 series. The four notes are $20, $50, $500 and $1000. The $100 note was not issued for this given year. The designs are the same as the 2018 series, but with new dates.
