Amazing theme!!! Never thogth of the compass on banknotes! Learned a lot of stuff today!!

Hallo Banjamin!! This is an amazing series of banknotes! I need to check the whole series about a Barbados map!! Really interesting!!

AMIIIR TAHIIIRR 🎉

Love the Barbados contemporary currency. Have to admit vertical notes are cool but make our job more difficult!

Bro u said it wrong when u growed u said it right where a kid

I am starting to like the vertical notes. one sees the world from a different perspective. I can handle the one day event. Like any sport it has a language all its own.

Wow nice subscribe and like ya

Price in Bangladesh

Great starter note with the Mexico 50 Pesos - really good history behind those canons.

I found the story behind the image of the woman firing the cannon a couple years ago, I'll try to email it to you.

Love cannons! Great video Benjamin and have a Happy Thanksgiving!

A beautiful note, a great addition for my Ben's Inspired Collection. I have never seen a note from The Gambia in my travels.

8:32 thats what i have

Very interesting theme. I imagine you had to "navigate" a bit to find these notes! (And yes - MAPS are awesome!)

Incidentally, it is a very exciting story how the remains of the murdered family were found. The communists had buried them in the forest, the search (and ultimately the discovery) began in secret by private individuals during the communist era. However, the site had to remain secret until I think 1989/90 when the Soviet empire collapsed. Only then were the remains solemnly interred in St. Peter and Paul's Cathedral. Greetings from Germany

Another beautiful compass rose on both sides of P-170, 500 Escudos from Portugal.

This kind of "halo" around Columbus' head, couldn't that also be a compass rose?

What a unique theme.

Wow nice

Inspiring theme for banknotes, and as you stated many options. Really enjoy the 1 Manat from Azerbaijan - a lot happening without looking busy.

Now that is some great history! What a great story and thanks for sharing. Totally get spending the $...always tough for a collector.

Great theme and great way to handle "cotton". Fully understand the history and that doesn't mean the plant is a staple crop needed for our daily life across the planet. Hibiscus! Who knew!

Fantastic theme for you to share. Very nice! Really like the Icelandic note!

This is a great and beautiful banknote. So cool to see countries use commemoratives to test and celebrate events. My favorite is the Chopin note. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing and so cool to see the commemorative denominations - great information regarding the staples.

Very strange story. Is this note in any of the catalogs?

5000

Great video, just to point out the second Azerbaijan note you mentioned (the one with the chap on the front) was actually a Kyrgyzstan 1 Som note issued in 1999

wish you could identify the people.

Great series.

Nice video mate 🎉

You forgot one banknotes, the Indonesian 1999, W.R Supratman 50,000 Rupiah which features composter of Indonesian Anthem, Indonesia Raya and there is musical theme such as a box of the Indonesia Raya Lyrics (zoom in) and one of lyrics features in the back too. Grey box on top features a Violin only you Tilt it

Meanwhile Sierra Leone coins have their entire coin series in current form that use musical instruments as the reverses.

So, have you been compiling the Nobel prize theme?

Do you have the Poland P-198? That has a 1944 watermark on it.

Very interesting. I do not have this note.

My favorite note has the constitution on it, 1957 100 Kip.

Hi Benjamin!! It was really interesting to watch!! Never thought there were so many books on banknotes!! Best regards!!

The Haiti banknote is printed in high quality. If you zoom in on the constitution, you can read it. Amazing printing quality on paper.

In the 1973 War Jordan and Lebanon didn’t attack. Just Syria and Egypt. If Jordan would have attacked it would have been 10 times worse than it was. This note was originally a 10,000 Lirot note. My daughter went to Costa Rica and brought me back a few notes for my collection. They are not the best quality but are notes I’d never sell or replace. I enjoy your videos. Now whenever I see a cow on a note I think about you.

Great video! I learned a lot. I have this note in fine, I'll be looking for an UNC. There is a lot of history shown on this banknote.

you have an unique theme in just about every video you make. there is always a national bank building in the set you show

John Deere makes a cotton picking machine. Are any on banknotes?

The eye glasses on that dude on the Peruvian 10 Intis!

Nice 🎉

This is an interesting note.

Hi Benjamin. I have a few more thoughts about the 5 peso note from Guerrero, Mexico. The notes punched AMORTIZADO, in 1982, in EF condition catalogued $3 ($5 UNC), but the price for a note that hadn't been cancelled in EF condition was $200. I don't know what the price is today. That's quite a range which, if I remember correctly, is sort of like the situation with the beautiful notes from Czechoslovakia (I think it was Czechoslovakia, or at least somewhere close). I don't think the price spread was nearly as great, however. I'm not sure how old the vignette of the woman on the note is, since the ABNC frequently recycled its vignettes (even using the same vignette in numerous countries, as you have probably noticed) but here it is on a note from 1906. She is wearing a short huipil tucked into her skirt and she has a rebozo, plus the basket with the pineapples. She might have been from Guerrero but odds are she was from some other part of Mexico. The vignette reminds me of a cultural change that occurred in 1958, but they probably can't be tied together, but who knows. Every year the state of Oaxaca, Mexico holds a Guelaguetza, where the various regions of the state present their traditional dances and costumes. The Papaloapan River Basin in the northern part of the state presents their Danza de la Flor de Pina. Three dozen women, wearing extremely colorful knee length huipils, skirts to mid-calf, and carrying a pineapple on their shoulder, dance barefoot in a chorus line, back and forth across a stage. The choreography is new, created in 1958 by a teacher (Paulina Solis Ocampo) at the request of the governor of Oaxaca because his native region wasn't participating in the Guelaguetza. The music is from Mexico but reminds me of the cancan, and the high energy of the performance gets the audience on its feet. The dance troupe represents the seven Indian municipalities of the Chinantla region, which are mostly Chinantec and Mazatec, but since the municipalities were widespread and isolated until recent times the dancers are today mostly mestizas from San Juan Bautista Tuxtepec, the main municipality in the region. The landscape from Tuxtepec to Valle Nacional is tropical to semi-tropical, with tree ferns and heliconia growing along the road, which continues over the Sierra Madre Oriental, through pine forests, to the city of Oaxaca. Some people criticize the performance because it isn't traditional, but it is incredibly popular, and perhaps a pineapple was incorporated in an earlier dance. The mestizas wear huipils from all seven municipalities, buying them from the women living in those towns. The women in the towns make the huipils mostly for the dance performances, and to sell to collectors at hundreds of dollars per garment. I prefer the Chinantec huipils from San Felipe Usila, San Lucas Ojitlan, and Valle Nacional, because they are woven on a backstrap loom, incorporating brocade with embroidered designs. The Mazatec huipils use embroidery on factory made cloth, and incorporate a lot of satin ribbon and lace. This is probably the most detailed minutia you have ever received on a single note. Perhaps it will be a useful read anytime you can't get to sleep. Happy collecting.

Pineapples!! Fantastic that so many countries show the pineapple. The 5 Pesos El Banco de Guerrero note is fantastic - that goes on the list!

So far only have the 30 in this series. Thanks for the details on this note.
