yes my friend zimbabwe probably are not fakes , they had a hyper inflation period when they made notes with very high values the japanese notes are known as J.I.M. or japanese invasion money issued by japan during occupation of the countries (rupees,burma, pesos,philippines etc) if you want to send scans of the ones you cannot identify,maybe i can help..... my email....... belabiaruca@gmail.com the thing is i don´t know if i have anything you want. talk later............ROY
Hello Roy..... Thanks for your reply and yes, I fully understand about the Zimbabwe hyper inflation issue..... These are One Hundred Trillion Dollar notes (1 followed by 14 zero's). Trouble is there are no watermarks whatsoever that is why I assume they are copies. The serial numbers are consequtive from AA3156605 // 6 // 7 and AA3156610 // 11 // 12 //13 seven notes in total. I did have the two missing numbers but actually gave them away when I ceased collecting worldwide banknotes. Upon reflection, I should have given notes from either end of the count rather than from the middle, still not to worry. If you need notes from the countries I mentioned earlier then let me know and I will send some photo's so you can check them out. I am sure we can come to some arrangement // agreement over them one way or another. Will get the unknown countries to you tomorrow as I am having an early night as I am worn out. Speak with you tomorrow mate. Kindest Regards. Ollie.
ok mate no problems i am interested to know the unidentified countries ALSO israel,kazakstan,suriname,iraq,italy,zambia,nigeri a, and the japanese invasion notes and maybe some others depending on the notes i have quite a lot of notes from some of the countries thanks talk to you later........ROY
