Crazy foreign money collection

Check out all my weird money from around the world.

Watching you tear that $20 bill lowkey broke my heart

I work at a bank. One day, a customer came in with money that nobody recognized, hoping to exchange it for U.S. dollars. My manager was just about to turn the customer away, when I and my money-nerd tendencies stepped in and immediately recognized what she had - Northern Irish pound sterling notes.

See, the UK doesn't have a single paper currency. While England and Wales use Bank of England notes, in Scotland and Northern Ireland, a handful of private banks issue their own banknotes for those countries. That's why nobody (but me!) knew what those notes were; they didn't look like the British pounds we were used to seeing because they weren't Bank of England notes. Luckily, since I knew what they were, we were able to make the exchange for the customer.

Zimbabwe had $1-$100 Trillion banknotes when they hit hyper inflation in 2007-2008.

CORRECTION: Yes, the Danish bill was very old but we didn't make the switch to the €'s. We just keep getting new designs of our own.

I'm from Egypt and the Shilling is kind of a relic now for money collectors and its not used in the economy at all. It's practically just for show.

Swaziland, where married women can't independently sign contracts or manage property, has more women on its money that the United States. The world is so weird.

You should totally do a collab with Geography Now!!

I suddenly feel like there could easily be a whole channel dedicated to money. Not like an Economics channel -- just literally the paper banknotes and metal coins. Who the people are, what the stories are behind the designs, how they are manufactured in different places, etc.

If it means anything I have a 100 trillion Zimbabwe bank note but unfortunately it's worthless now

Being myself a numismatist it's quite hard to choose amongst all the interesting things I can say about my own collection! But here are a few nice ones:

- My smallest bill (7.3 x 3.2 cm) is Chinese and dates from 1975. All that is written in the corner is "0.1" without any denomination: that's because it was used for food rationing and thus was literally worth 0.1 kg of rice!

- Another small bill (8.9 x 4.1 cm) is a Hong Kong banknote from 1961 only worth... 1 cent. It's only printed on one side, just as if it was from a Monopoly board game!

- I have a second note printed on one side: 50, 000, 000 German marks from 1923, from that famous period of inflation when money became worthless.

- My biggest bill is also German: it's a 1000 mark from 1910 and is 18.7 x 10.9 cm...

- The oldest is one of the first European banknotes: 15 French sols from 1792!

- Finally a funny design and I'll stop there: I've got 1 Indian rupee banknote from 1980... depicting a 1 rupee coin from 1980. Should have thought about that!

In the UK, both Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own designs seperate from the designs used by the Bank of England. It causes issues for people travelling to England, particularly the south, from these areas. One thing I love about Northern Irish money is that over there they've allowed Danske Bank (which is a Danish bank) to print pounds, meaning the UK technically allows a foreign bank to print its money.

New Zealand's new $20 bill is literally an insult to our dear queen!!

[jakobgroenen]

When I was 11. I moved from Washington state to Alberta. And for the fist couple of months I was there, I was obsessed with collecting the money,
