ORGANISING YOUR COLLECTION

There are loads of way to organise your collection of banknotes. most will depend on why you are collecting. I organise my one by country a-z but you could use subject or denomination for instance.

By subject could be :

ANIMALS









the above are from Antarctica, Congo democratic republic and Belarus

or BIRDS




from Singapore, Suriname and Zambia

or Women on banknotes ( not very many of them)





from Slovakia, Luxembourg, Italy and The Czech Republic

but of course there is one woman who are on loads of notes. Bahamas, Bermuda, British Honduras, Cayman Islands, Canada, Jersey, New Zealand, Australia, St Helena, Hong Kong, Gibraltar, jersey, Fiji, Falkland islands, Eastern Caribbean States, and of course Great Britain all have Queen Elizabeth II on their notes:




Other Possibles could be  Buildings, Revolutionaries , Presidents, Kings, Queens, Jobs or you could list them as you find them !!!

Finally you could list them by denomination;

Bolivars from Venezuela and Bolivia



Dollar from 30 countries from Australia to Zimbabwe




I think the rule here is that there are no rules

LUXEMBOURG



The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is bordered by France, Germany and Belgium, with a capital city of Luxembourg. Luxembourg became an independent state and a Grand Duchy in 1815, under the protection of the Netherlands, but in 1839 it lost almost half of its territory to Belgium but gained autonomy. Full independence came in 1867. It was occupied by German forces during both World Wars and ended its neutrality stance by joining NATO in 1949. it was one of the 6 founding countries which formed the European Economic Community- EEC (later the EU) and joined the Eurozone in 1999 adopting the Euro in 2001.

Monetary Units
1 Franc = 100 Centimes ( up to 2001 )
1 Euro = 100 Cents (2001 onward )

The note above is the 5 Franc note from 1944 (ND) featuring Grand Duchess Charlotte on the front and this red coloured reverse  Letzeburg  spelling on the back and the number 5 is spelled Fennef, I am assuming that it is the Luxembourgian language, Luxembourgish, one of the 3 recognised languages - French and German being the others.
