Years ago I bought some world banknotes at auction. They have been in a folder for some years and they are not my area of interest. Jersey, France, Sri Lanka, Italy. Have a peek.

Collecting banknotes can be a passing interest or as time goes on, an all-consuming hobby. After some years of buying banknotes for my own collection, a turning point was attending  a banknote auction in Warwick.
