Title: [WTB] Fiat currencies from around the world
Post by: enzogla on July 26, 2021, 08:36:56 AM
Knowing that some countries banknotes have become pretty much worthless (like the Bolivar), I'm curious to know if anyone is selling banknotes of them?

It would be pretty cool if I could start collecting banknotes from around the world, and I guess buying them as collectors items with Bitcoin would be pretty cool  8)

I think a lot of the South American postal services are rated as one of the worst for theft and loss of items. They probably also have really strict border controls, but if you can get past those issues this is quite an interesting idea. I think a lot of people have similar collections (I've seen people with each note as they went down in value even more - eg starting at 10 Bolivar to 10 billion Bolivar or whatever the "equivelant" bank note is now. It'd be really interesting if you could find someone with a set of those with similar years on them too...

Are you looking only for very-inflationist banknotes or are you open to others?  :)

It would be awesome if I can see the photos :)
Is it also possible if you include your username in the photos?

Mostly inflationist I think, but I wouldn’t mind others if you do have others :)

Do you think they would steal some almost worthless banknotes?

Have a look on eBay - I've had a dug around and there are plenty of currency bundles from Germany, Zimbabwe, and Venezuela.

Ironically though, given that everyone is trying to collect this stuff now, the prices of high notes can get quite absurd. E.g. I've seen $100 trillion notes being listed at more than $300 USD apiece and that seems to be the going market rate.

Definitely not a great buy imo. Just accept a slightly lower denomination (still in the billions/millions) and move on.

Just checked eBay, yeah the prices seem to be quite large haha. I also checked local cash currency exchanges here in NZ, and none that I could find could swap to any of those currencies :(

I'm talking to stackitup though, hopefully I can get some off him  ;D

I am a big fan of collecting bank notes.  There are so many cool notes from around the world.  Are you looking for more current world notes or are you interested in notes from all different eras?  I've got a handful of older United States notes ranging from Confederate notes to Colonial notes.  Both of those are really cool pieces of history in my opinion and if you're interested I may have a few available.

@OP, but also for anybody else which may be interested, I have many (really many) Romanian old bank notes and old coins, from years 1800+ up to present. I also have special editions of current coins and some bank notes issued with the occasion of Sun eclipse from 2000 (or 2001?). Anyway, considering they are 100-150 years old coins / bank notes, they are not worthless, as they have a huge historical value.

For those interested, PM me. I did not set a price, as I never thought of selling them, but if a good opportunity appears, why not? :) And yes, I accept BTC payments.
