Collection Map
This is a world map that I use to visually keep track of which countries I have and don't have. It's easy to find all the continental countries on it and a number of island nations as well. While it doesn't have every island nation marked out I also have a list on paper so it's no problem.

United Arab Emirates
I recently ordered a bank note from the United Arab Emirates #P-26. It's from 2009 and is in UNC condition. Just got it today :)
Like many Arab notes this is full of design features and rather attractive looking.
I've got notes from 157 countries now and only need another 40 or so to complete my collection. Looking forward to it!

First Post and Welcome
Welcome to my little blog!
I started collecting coins and banknotes in 1997 after I bought a coin from the UK commemorating the death of Princess Diana and became hooked. I also sell currency from all over the world and find the whole subject fascinating.
To me when I look at a coin or banknote I can feel the history in my hands and get the feeling of being in some foreign land. They can tell you so much about a people and their culture and it is something I thouroghly enjoy.
While I consider myself a serious collector I'm also not a wealthy person which means that I am perfectly happy collecting a coin that isn't flawless or a banknote that has never been touched.
Over the years my coin collection especially has changed a lot and sadly is back on the small end. When it comes to coins I mainly collect US coins (any type, date, denom etc) but I am building up a decent foreign coin collection as well. I am trying to get a complete set of several types of coin before moving on to others.
My banknote colection is fairly extensive. My immedeate goal is to get at least 1 note from each of the nations on Earth that have existed in the past 40 years. Right now I have notes from 156 countries and a total of 670+ different notes, mostly in UNC condition.
I intend to use this blog as a way to keep track of my growing collection, to share it and what I've learned with others and to provid a place where people can come to find easily accessible information like grading, metal contents, varieties and so forth.
I hope you enjoy and please feel free to leave comments, ask questions and let me know if you have something you think I'd be interested in buying or trading.
