                WELCOME TO MY SITE

   Collecting paper money is a great hobby.  I collect banknotes from Africa up to the year 2000, specializing in different dates and signatures. Check out the new article on French West and Central African CFA banknotes. See British West Africa  where paper money first competed with cowrie shells and cases of gin as currency!  Follow the heads of George V1 and Queen Elizabeth on the banknotes of East Africa and the Seychelles, and Hastings Banda on the notes of Malawi. See early Congo Democratic Republic banknotes, including Katanga, from the turbulent transition from the Belgian Congo. Articles on African collecting themes, and collecting opportunities offer ideas on expanding collecting interests, whilst the section on washed banknotes gives steps to avoid the pitfalls of buying washed notes on the internet.
