 1st July 2025

Belarus - This is a commemorative note of 80 rubles reportedly released on 31.03.2025 for the celebration of the 80th Anniversary of the Victory of the Soviet people in the Great Patriotic War or the Second World War (1939-1945). I believe this note celebrates the defeat of Nazi Germany in Belarus (Belorussian SSR) in mid-April 1945. A total of 80,000 pieces issued for this commemorative note...

Curacao and Sint Maarten - Here is a full set of five notes all released on 31.03.2025. These are new currencies of Curacao and Sint Maarten called Caribische Gulden (Caribbean Guilder), replacing the previous currency of Netherlands Antillean Gulden/Guilder. As these are new currencies, all notes are also printed with the new central bank's name of the Central Bank of Curacao and Sint Maarten (Centrale Bank van Curaçao en Sint Maarten)...

Moldova - Posted here is a full set of 8 notes of the 2015 first series, all printed with the year date of 2015 and all signed by the same bank governor, Dorin Dragutanu. Subsequent reprints are also dated 2015 but with different signatures.

Bhutan - Posted here are the two notes of 1 and 10 ngultrum both issued as part of the 2019 series. It is believed that these are the two notes released with the year date of 2019.

Scotland, The Royal Bank of Scotland Limited - Here is the only ₤1 note of the 1981 series I have in my collection. This note belongs to the Scottish castles series. The design for this Edinburgh was first introduced in 1969 with the ₤5 note. In 1970, the bank issued another ₤5 note with the same theme and design but with different colours. In 1972, it released a full set of banknotes all depicting different Scottish castles on the back. Since then, the bank went on and issued the Castle series, albeit different designs, until 2017. However, despite releasing banknotes featuring various Scottish castles, the bank ceased issuing the ₤1 note after the 2001 series...
