SCOTLAND, BANK OF SCOTLAND - This is the latest £50 polymer note series released on 01.07.2021. The note that I have posted on my site came in a presentation folder and sold with a premium of 100% over the face value. According to the bank, all profits generated from the sale are all donated to charities.

HONG KONG SAR - This is the only one banknote currently issued by the government of Hong Kong. This $10 banknote was first issued in 2002, when all the three major banks in Hong Kong ceased printing the $10 note. The first three prints (July 2002; January 2003; and January 2005) were all printed on cotton based paper banknotes. In 2007, the polymer series was introduced for a trial of two years. Since then, reprints have been issued and the latest one is dated 01.07.2018. Here, I have updated my post with the latest 2018 issue.

IRAQ - Here, I have posted a set of five notes all printed with the year date of 2018. Missing from this set are the 10000 and 50000 dinars, as I believe these two notes were not issued for this 2018 series. Of the five notes, the two high values of 10000 and 25000 dinars are both printed on Hybrid materials.

NORTHERN IRELAND, ULSTER BANK - Posted here is the second print of the £20 polymer, first released on 14.10.2020. The first issue was dated 22.02.2019 and was supposed to be released on 20.07.2020, together with the two other commercial banks, namely the Bank of Ireland and Danske Bank. The delay was due to the error in printing the legal clause on the note and as such a new version has to be re printed. This note is dated 01.03.2021.

ALGERIA - A 2000 dinars commemorative note issued to celebrate the 58th Anniversary of Independence 1962-2020. Algeria was once a colony of France until 05.07.1962. Unfortunately, independence was not achieved by peaceful mean, but through a War of Independence, which started on 01.11.1954. The French had ruled Algeria since 05.07.1830. Only one of the six national heroes depicted on the note, died naturally. The rest all ended up their lives violently. This note was released on 18.03.2021.

VENEZUELA - A set of 3 notes all printed with the date of 22.01.2019. These are hyperinflation banknotes and all been printed with the same designs ob both front and back but with difference colours. The only differences are the face value of the notes. It is not sure if it is still worth the value the paper is printed on.

VENEZUELA - I have added a 500 bolivares dated 15.01.2018 to my previous post of 18.07.2021. This is a cheap note and plenty in the market. I do not believe the face value of this note is worth the paper printed on now.
