My Foreign Currency Collection Part 1

03 Feb


A few years ago I went through a phase where I liked to collect foreign currency. The coin store here in Mansfield had a bin of low grade foreign currency, 3 for a dollar. Many a discovery I made…

    Biafra was actually around almost 3 years (May 30th 1967 – January 15th 1970). That Biafran Pound though is still very rare.

    Nice collection,,,, I collect foreign currency as well. I love the German big notes and their artwork,,, but are so common,, not worth shit. I love the old Italian Lire.

    I don’t think any of them are legal tender anymore, and “uncirculated” means they were never put out into circulation, or crisp.

    i do this, i have UK, US, Chinese, Hong Kong, Euro, Canada, Guyana. it’s interesting. i keep mine in a book that has clear pages so you can see the back of the bills and the front of the bills. but you have a really nice collection.

    Awesome video! I really enjoyed seeing the different currencies and the tidbits of history behind the notes. Great job.

    Just wanted to tell marfg12345 that he does not even know the history of his own country……the note shown at 3:50 IS from Croatia…….these were used in 1993-94 before they changed to the Kuna………..
