Why Collect World Banknotes
World Banknotes are a relatively inexpensive hobby and an educational way to discover the economic history, industry, and leaders of countries from around the world.
They represent art, history, and economics.
An easy way to begin is to purchase a starter package of notes from 25 or 50 different countries. These are easily available on eBay under a World Banknote Set search. Be sure to buy uncirculated banknotes from many different countries.
World banknotes are identified by their condition, country, year, signature(s), denomination, and Pick or their Banknote Book number
Uncirculated notes for recent or current issues are recommended for beginner collectors as they are more apt to retain their value.
To learn more about bank notes join the International Bank Note Society.
