Introduction
Welcome to this 21st edition of the
Standard Catalog of World
Paper Money, Modern Issues.
Many new issues, expanded text descriptions as well as price
increases have been made. Foreign Exchange Certificates, Military
use notes and Regional notes are now presented in the
Standard
Catalog of World Paper Money, Specialized Issues volume
now in
its 12th edition.
In our constant endeavor to provide as much detail as possible,
we have expanded our detailed signature variety information. For the
ease of identification, notes are listed under their historic country
identification (British Honduras is no longer hidden within Belize).
North Korea and South Korea are now under N and S respectively,
not under K. Northern Ireland is under N. Please consult the country
index or bank issuer index if you continue to experience difficulty.
Notes of a particular bank are listed in release date order,
and then grouped in ascending denomination order. In the cases
of countries where more than one issuing authority is in effect at
a single time, follow the bank headings in the listings and it will
become apparent if that country’s listing are by date or alphabetical
by issuing authority. In the cases where a country has changed
from a kingdom to a republic all the banknotes of the kingdom’s era
would be listed before that of the republic.
If you wish to contribute images, please contact us first and follow
the guidelines as set forth in the information notice. We can accept
them as JPGs, and preferably on a disc, rather than as an email
attachment. But please contact us first before you do a lot of work,
which could be duplicating items already in progress for inclusion
in future editions.

A review of modern paper
money collecting
Paper money collecting is probably as old as paper money
itself. However, this segment of the numismatic hobby did not
begin to reach a popularity approaching that of coin collecting
until the latter half of the 1970’s. While coins and paper money
are alike in that both served as legal obligations to facilitate
commerce, long-time paper money enthusiasts know the
similarity ends there.
Coins were historically guaranteed by the intrinsic value of
their metallic content - at least until recent years when virtually all
circulating coins have become little more than legal tender tokens,
containing little or no precious metal - while paper money possesses
a value only when it is accepted for debts or converted into bullion
or precious metals. With many note issues, this conversion privilege
was limited and ultimately negated by the imposition of redemption
cutoff dates.
The development of widespread collector interest in paper money
of most nations was inhibited by a near total absence of adequate
documentation. No more than four decades ago collectors could
refer to only a few catalogs and dealer price lists of limited scope,
most of which were difficult to acquire, or they could build their own
knowledge through personal collecting pursuits and contact with
fellow collectors.
The early catalogs authored by Albert Pick chronicled issues of
Europe and the Americas and were assembled as stepping-stones
to the ultimate objective, which became reality with publication of
the first
Standard Catalog of World Paper Money
in 1975. That
work provided collectors with fairly complete listings and up-to-
date valuations of all recorded government note issues of the 20th
century, incorporating Pick’s previously unpublished manuscripts on
Africa, Asia and Oceania, plus many earlier issues.
This completely revised and updated 21st Edition of Modern
Issues, along with the companion 15th Edition of General Issues,
presents a substantial extension of the cataloging effort initiated in
1975. As the most comprehensive world paper money references
ever assembled, they fully document the many and varied legal
tender paper currencies issued and circulated by over 380 past and
current government issuing authorities of the world from 1300’s to
present.
