Iran has become very popular due to its violent past and biblical history. After the Islamic Revolution, banknotes with Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi were quickly sought after. While Revolutionaries may make great leaders of change, they don't always make the best economist! Iran's economy took a nose dive following the fundamentalist change in power. Every new series Iran introduced had climbing denominations with several zeros! Hyperinflation (& worthless) denominations ensued making the older series all that more attractive. The older the series, the higher the collector value! Banknotes with the elaborate arabesque overprints on the Shah had 3 variations and these also became highly sought after by Iranian specialists.
The odd denomination ( 2 1/2 Guldens) of the Netherlands Antilles, featuring a jetliner, makes this 49 year old banknote very popular.
I love big game notes featuring lions, tigers or elephants & when I saw this 50 Francs for auction I had to put in a bid! You are probably wondering where Rwanda-Burundi is as it is no longer a nation since it only existed for 2 years! I was very happy to win this super rare note. Sorry this scarce note was snapped up by a savvy collector!
Now Guinea-Bissau, Portuguese Guinea is a small nation bordered by Senegal (to the north) and Guinea to the south.

This site has been a work of progress since 2019. It will always be "under construction" in my books but the good news is that I am always adding new world duplicates. How long this will last is up in the air but the time being, I am still adding notes & I apologize if any page is outdated (or provides misleading info). Please feel free to contact me at the email address provided if you're interested in purchasing any of the extra notes listed. I'm sure you won't be dissatisfied.
