Collecting
paper money is
a great hobby.
I collect
banknotes from
Africa up to
the year 2000,
specializing in
different dates
and
signatures.
Check out the
new article on
French West and
Central African
CFA banknotes.
See British
West Africa
where paper
money first
competed with
cowrie shells
and cases of
gin as
currency!
Follow the
heads of George
VI and Queen
Elizabeth on
the banknotes
of East Africa
and the
Seychelles, and
Hastings Banda
on the notes of
Malawi.
See early Congo
Democratic
Republic
banknotes,
including
Katanga, from
the turbulent
transition from
the Belgian
Congo.
Articles on
African
collecting
themes and
collecting
opportunities
offer ideas on
expanding
collecting
interests,
whilst the
section on
washed
banknotes gives
steps to avoid
the pitfalls of
buying washed
notes on the
internet.
