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

The Notes above are the 100 Korun from 1993, the 50 Korun from 1997 and the 20 Korun from 1994.
