1951 Indonesia 1 "Satu Rupiah" Banknote

The currency derives its name from the Hindu Sanskrit "rupiakam" or silver. First introduced in 1946 by nationalists, its confirmed use and circulation started in 1950. The Bank of Indonesia certifies all the currency of the republic.�The Rupiah is divided into 100 "sen", however, notes and coinage in sen denominations have been rendered obsolete due to inflation.�The symbol for this currency is "Rp" and banknotes of high denomination starting in 100 Rp and 200 Rp are common up to 5000 Rp. 50's and 10000's are not often used.My note still has a crisp well preserved texture and coloring. Beautiful landscapes are briefly shown on each of the bill's sides.

1975 Spain 1 Peseta Coin

Coins-World | AC coin$

This beautiful coin was minted and launched in 1975. Two days after Francisco Franco's death Juan Carlos I de Borbón became king of Spain, the exact date was November 22, 1975 and his reign lasted until 2014 when he abdicated in favor of his son Felipe VI now king. The image of Juan Carlos I is on the obverse of this peseta coin facing left, and the beautiful Coat of Arms of the Nation bearing elements of royalty is on the reverse.�The currency of Spain has been called the peseta since 1868 when it substituted the peso which was used since early 15th century. The peseta remained the national currency until 2002 when Spain adopted the Euro for all transactions.Nice and attractive, my coin is eagerly sought because its minted in the year the Spaniards had a new king again since 1931.

1955 Colombia 2 Pesos Oro Banknote

Paper Money-World | AC coin$

The Colombian Peso has been known since the nineteenth century. It was attached to contemporary gold standards from France and other strong economies in the World. It received the peso "oro" designation until 1931. However such name was pegged until an internal Colombian lawsuit made the government remove the "oro" word in 1993.�The Worldwide Banking designation for the Colombian Peso is COP with an equivalency of 100 centavos to 1 peso unit.The glorious passage of time has gone thru and about my note exposed here after surviving weather, frontiers,� hand to hand, cruise ships, airplanes, trains, banks, and who knows what other destinations until it reached my collection, and even so it gives my bill a great aspect for its value, such is the worth of passion in numismatics. So tonight is dark, then tomorrow will shine like never. Perhaps Colombia will be proud thru this bill exposition once again.

1942 India 1/4 Anna Coin

Coins-World | AC coin$

Issued orivinally in 1940, this 1/4 Anna coin is 1/64 of a Rupee, the currency of British controlled India. My coin was minted in 1942. This years of world war were rather harsh of currency producing materials at hand. Several alternatives were developed as copper was substituted for military efforts. So, finding pure struck coinage in this metal for this year should be considered an attractive option.My coin was struck in Calcutta and the image of King George VI was retouched twice, specifically the "fleu de lis" detail in his crown, before its production.�The India British Rupee ran as currency from 1862 until 1947, year in which the UK dominion was retired from the country.

How To Make $275+ for 50 Cents

Coins-United States | thatcoinguy

Errors and varieties are a big part of numismatics. Varieties have slowly been increasing in value and popularity over the years, and some can be worth thousands, or even tens of thousands of dollars. Everybody talks about finding that $100,000 cent in pocket change (usually a 1909-S VDB). But let's be honest. Your chance of finding a 1909-S VDB is slim to none. Yet these kinds of videos on YouTube have hundreds of thousands, or even sometimes million, of views. Wishful people hoping to strike it rich, only to find their hands empty. I'm here to give you a coin that is realistically found, and I even know a few people who have found this variety!�

1971 Mexico 10 Pesos Banknote

Paper Money-World | AC coin$

Around the 1950's thru early 1980's Banxico and its money printing bureau worked the art, texture, size and colorings of all if not most of the banknotes previously launched for circulation. The purpose was to modernize all historical versions and denominations adding security and stronger counterfeit measures to printed notes. Retiring the older banknotes was not an easy task and it has proven to become a lifelong process for the printing division at Distrito Federal, Capital of Mexico and its supporting Casa de la Moneda and the Bank of Mexico.This note I include here is an example of the above task. My Mexican 10 Pesos note from 1971 shows a variety of features that separates the bill from other eras. Coloring, size and lettering are among the noticeable aspects.�
