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

SLOVAKIA







The Slovak Republic is a landlocked country in Central Europe, with a capital city of Bratislava. from the end of the 10th century, Slovakia was annexed by Hungary until 1918, when the Austro-Hungarian empire collapsed and Slovakia along with other states joined to form Czechoslovakia. In 1948, Czechoslovakia came under the influence of the pro soviet Warsaw pact. the end of communist rule in 1989 led to the peaceful "velvet revolution" and in 1993 the country split into Slovakia and the Czech republic. Slovakia is a member of NATO and joined the EU in 2004. it adopted the euro in 2009.
