money ALBUM
Collecting currency, to me, is like embarking on a captivating journey through the corridors of history, culture, and the world's vast treasures. Within each banknote resides a unique narrative of a nation's past and its dreams for the future.
In this money album: "banknotes become more than currency — they become tiny masterpieces of art and history."
Vietnamese Dong:
The dong has been the currency of Vietnam since May, 1978.
10,000 Dong is equivalent to 33 pence in the UK.
Reichsmark:
This German banknote dates back to 1909, just a few years before the onset of World War I. On the left, you can see Mercury, while on the right is Ceres.
Yugoslavia Dinar:
The dinar served as the national currency of Yugoslavia from 1918 until 2003, and its usage continued until 2006. Yugoslavia expanded its territory during the war, and it eventually divided into six republics: Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Montenegro, Bosnia & Herzegovina, and North Macedonia.
Reichsmark:
A German banknote, dates back to 1924. On its right, it has the portrait of Prussian politician and banker David Hansemann.
British Shilling:
The Shilling note made its debut in 1928 and remained in circulation until 1969. Before decimalization in 1971, a 'bob' was the colloquial term for a Shilling, which had a value of 12 old pennies. However, after the currency change, a Shilling became equivalent to 5 new pence. The pre-decimal 'ten bob note' (10 shillings) held different values in relation to other coins. It was equivalent to 5 Florins, or 4 Half Crowns, or 2 Crowns. However, following decimalization, the 'ten bob note' was worth 50p in the new currency system.
Azerbaijani Manat:
The Azerbaijani Manat was introduced as the official currency of Azerbaijan in August, 1992, replacing the Soviet ruble. It underwent a currency reform in 2006, when the currency was redenominated to remove several zeros from its value due to hyperinflation. Interestingly, Manat is considered to be stronger than euro.
Cypriot Pound:
The Cypriot Pound was introduced in 1879, replacing the Ottoman piastre and becoming the official currency of Cyprus under British administration. The Cypriot Pound served as the official currency of the Republic of Cyprus until Cyprus adopted the Euro as its official currency on January, 2008.
