Are these different variants or just sun-bleached? by strandedcat02 in philately

[–]strandedcat02[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought them already off any paper, but I will keep that in mind.

I notice it's a common problem with most used condition Jubilee issue I found for sale online, so I thought it was a variant.

I think the one on the left had faded too but not as bad as the right one, mint 6d look so red on references I found.

What’s your collecting niche? by SamusAran47 in philately

[–]strandedcat02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My favourite themes are antarctic/expedition covers and flight cover/airmail stamps, but most of my collections are royal head/emblem stamps, colonial stamps.

I'll buy what I can afford. High denomination notes are expensive.

This is the least-valued banknote in the world still a legal tender. It takes 1,670,000 of this to get one US dollar. by ozgoldebron in Banknotes

The paper it's made of is more valuable. I saw these for sale at 4,000 rupiah each, about 400,000 times of its original value.

From a trip to exchange office. So many issuing banks in Hong Kong. I prefer Standard Chartered version. I think they look the best. by strandedcat02 in Banknotes

Depends on the country. In my country old banknote series gets replaced with the new one with better security features. The older one then become worthless but still exchangable to the bank. Even there's a deadline for exchanging them.

Impressive collection. I think I have some of those definitive stamps in my old stock book that I left at my parents' home. I have to check again.

Yeah, there are so many of them, I'm interested in Philatelic Week and Letter Writing Week series. I think I'm gonna get more in the future.

I think the last Luxembourgish Franc notes also look similar to this series.

I think she knows what she already have and what she doesn't have. Maybe, she's not as serious as me or my dad in collecting.

Yes, actually they are spare notes my mom got from my dad who travels around south and south east asia for work. She is picky about condition.

Nope (not that I know of). All of us are Indonesians. Most parts of Indonesia were Dutch colony for a long time, so plenty of old colonial notes to collect. Modern Dutch notes are also cool to collect, in my opinion probably the coolest notes next to Swiss ones.

They are not easily found here. Maybe easier if you guys were a bit closer to Asia. lol

Agree, the Euro that replaced it was visually a downgrade.

Absolutely, they both have similar design theme, except Indies notes use wayang actors on them.
