Uganda - Here are the four banknotes of Uganda first series all issued reportedly on 15.08.1966. Prior to 1966, Uganda shared the same currency together with Kenya and Tanganyika (now Tanzania). The currency was then issued by the East African Currency Board (dissolved in 1967) and was known as East African Shilling. In 1966, Uganda established it's central bank and called it the Bank of Uganda and released a full set of Uganda shilling currency...

Tonga - Here are the three reprints of 10, 20 and 50 pa'anga specimen notes. This series was first introduced in 2008, and since then reprints were issued in 2012 for the 1, 2, 5, and 10 pa'anga notes. The notes that I have posted here are considered as the third prints since this series was first introduced in 2008, however, for these reprints only 10, 20 and 50 pa'anga were issued. It should be noted that both the 20 and 50 pa'anga were not included in the 2012 reprints, however, this is the third issue for the 10 pa'anga since 2008. No reprint for the 100 pa'anga has been reported or sighted...

Singapore - The is the latest $100 note printed with a tiny symbol of an inverted triangle on the back. It is not sure when this note was printed but since Tharma Shanmugaratnam left the Monetary Authority of Singapore as Chairman on 8 July 2023, one can only assume this note was ordered/printed before his departure date. Also it is not sure if there are other $100 notes printed with different symbols after this, or perhaps this is the last of the $100 note bearing his signature. Since then, Tharma Shanmugaratnam has been elected as the 9th President of Singapore...

1st March 1974

Scotland, Clydesdale Bank Limited - This is one odd note of £1 I have in my collection that was printed with the date of 1st March 1974 and signed by A R MacMillian as Chief General Manager. I am unable to find out what the initials "A R" stand for. The condition of this note is heavily circulated and I have no recollection as to how I got this note in the first place. It is most likely that I got this as a change, but I can't confirm this. This £1 note was issued between 1971 to 1981 and unfortunately this is the only piece I have in my collections. I have had this banknote in my procession for many many years...

Sweden - Here, I have posted two notes both supposedly printed in 2022 with the prefix letter K. The two notes posted are the 20 and 100 kronor and it is believed that the 500 kronor is printed too. So far, none has been sighted in public yet. As at the time of this posting, only two prefixes for the 500 kronor have been issued and they were printed with the letters B (nd2014) and C (nd2015). I also read somewhere that this 500 kroner notes were also printed with the letters E (nd2017), F (nd2018) and G (nd2019). I am not sure if this is correct. Time will tell!...

Malaysia - On 13.04.2025 I posted a full set of six notes from 1 to 100 ringgit all bearing the bank's governor's signature of Nor Shamsiah Mohd Yunus. This series was first introduced on 05.07.2009 with the 50 ringgit. You can click onto the link above to view my original post. It has come to my attention that whilst in all previous issues, replacement notes are usually printed for all denominations of banknotes that are issued for general circulation. However, for this series, only the denominations of RM1 (polymer), RM50 and RM100 were printed with replacement prefixes but not for the RM5, RM10 and RM20...

The designs on all the five notes are not the same this time. On the front, each note depicts a wildlife animal of Zimbabwe and on the back, each note features a famous landmark of Zimbabwe...

Zagreb, 8. Listopada 1991.

Croatia - I have added a 25 dinara second print note dated 1991 to my previous post. Recently, I found out that there are two varieties for the 25 dinara note dated 1991. The differences between these notes are the watermarks and also the fonts used for the serial number. The standard Pick banknotes catalogue refers to these notes as P19a and P19b. The first print has a watermark numeral of 5 and the second print has an inverted numeral 5 watermark. Also the fonts printed for the serial numbers are not the same for the two versions too. The best way to tell them apart is by looking at the zero on the serial number (if any) between the two notes. The first print shows a more oval shape (narrow oval zeros) for the zeros printed whilst the second print has a more roundish look (squared-off zeros). When I found out that I was missing the second print in my collection, I started to look and see if I can get one online. Of course, this is a small and cheap note, so spending between say $5 to $10 (including postage) to get one in UNC condition is not an issue for me as I like to collect my banknotes in full sets if possible. Whilst looking through seller sites for this missing note, I remember that I do have some spares notes for this 1991-1993 series. So, I went and dug them out and realised that I already have this second print in my collection. I have had this spare note for more than 15 years and was not aware of the differences between the two prints. There you are, I have now saved myself $5-10!...

Samoa - I have added the folder that was issued together with this 60 tala commemorative note to my previous posts (normal/replacement/specimen). A total of 500 specially designed folders were issued when this 60 tala commemorative note was issued on 31 May 2023. These folder were sold as it is without the actual banknotes inside but the folders were meant for both the standard uncirculated notes and the specimen notes. These folders are sold at Samoan 20 tala each.

It is believed that these were first introduced in (nd)1985 for the 10 and 20 tala, and the remaining two notes, 50 and 100 tala released in (nd)1990. The notes posted here are the third series since the country adopted the 'Tala' currency from the 'Pound' series. Samoa adopted the 'Tala' currency on 10.07.1967 at the conversion rate of 1 tala = 10 shilling (2 tala = 1 pound)...

New Zealand - Here I have added the $5 2018(nd) polymer note to my previous post. This note bears the signature of Governor Adrian Orr. Whilst this note is printed with the year date of 2018, not many of these uncirculated notes were made available to collectors until recently. Only three notes were printed with the signature of Adrian Orr for the 2018 issue, thus completing my collection for the 2018 reprints...

Western Samoa - Here, I have posted 8 notes all reportedly issued in (nd)2020. There are reprints from previous issues but not sure if these were newly printed banknotes or these were derived from reminders of old stocks. All notes are printed with watermark features, presumably the same as those original issues. I have a very strong feeling that these are newly reprints and not from the old stock.
