April

1st April, 2020
Zimbabwe - The Land of Funny Money. These are the two latest $2 and $5 notes issued in late 2019, replacing those Bond Notes issued in 2016. The words Bond Note have been omitted from the design on these two new notes. According to some sellers, these are also printed on Hybrid material. I have no confirmation on this and if any readers can confirm this would be great. It has also been reported that the bank will issue other larger notes at a later date.

6th April 2020
Scotland, The Royal Bank of Scotland - This is a £20 paper note printed with the date of 04.04.2017. I believe this is the last paper banknote print for the £20 series, given that this denomination has now replaced by a polymer note issued recently by the bank. The signature on this note belongs to Ross Maxwell McEwan who has since left the bank.

8th April 2020
Transnistria - One ruble commemorative issued on 20.12.2019. This note was issued celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the Transnistrian Ruble currency (1994-2019).

10th April 2020
Georgia -  I have added the final note of 10 lari to the 2016 series. This note is dated 2019 and was issued on 02.10.2019.

Happy Easter to all my friends and visitors. Please be safe and be sane too

15th April 2020
Zimbabwe - I have added the two notes of $2 and $5 Bond Notes, first issued in 2016. I believe these are from a difference imprinter as the font on the serial numbers are not the same from the first issues, especially the numbers like 0, 6 and 9.

22nd April 2020
New Zealand - $50 ND2018 polymer note with the Governor's signature of Adrian Orr.

28th April 2020
Australia, National Australia Bank Limited - Another set of specimen traveller's cheques. These were issued by the National Australia Bank Limited in 1984.
