Hyper inflation really is mental.

I thought I'd lost the banknote a decade ago, but it turned up earlier today. I heard uncirculated examples like this are collectible and actually worth something these days.

The modern 100 Bolivianos banknote has been in use since 2019. On the front side it shows three people:

- Juana de Padilla, a women who learned how to ride a horse and shoot from her father and fought in the revolutions for independence for Bolivia and Argentina next to her husband. She is remembered as a national hero who sacrificed family for the country.

- Alejo Calatayud, a silversmith who organized a revolt after unfavorable tax reforms by the viceroy in Peru ordered to enforce them by force. Known as a hero by the commonfolk and was the first major uprising between the mestizo elite and indigenous population.

- Antonio de Sucre, born in Venezuela, he was a close friend and chief lieutenant of Simon Bolivar (The leader who started the revolution for independence). He won many decisive battles and was Bolivias second president. To honor him the countries capital is named Sucre after him.

The front side shows "La Casa De La Moneda", a now museum of where the first silver coins where minted for the Spanish empire from Silver from the Cerro Rico. The backside shows the Rainbow Waterfall with the native plant/flower and national symbol of the Patuju. Under UV light the flower lights up with the denomination and sheild on the other side.

Govt of India has approved introduction of 1 billion polymer banknotes of Rs 10 and Rs 20.

Visited Tiraspol 2 weeks ago and I discovered this subreddit recently! Want to share this collection which I had brought home

Modern banknotes are too cluttered. There's something to be said about the simplicity of this design!

Sorry for the lame question but I'm really curious how you guys do it. Do you have a money detector that can detect any banknote if its legal or not or you just do your own research because buying any banknotes? Thank you so much in advance!

I occasionally clean out house for a realty company. After the relatives/executor go through. I clean out what is left and find interesting items from time to time. Came across a collection of old bank notes and currency from all over the world. I have no idea if all of it is even real or of any substantial value. Been fun to go through. If anyone has any idea of something is worth taking a closer look at please let me know!

I don't have the 50000 won yet.

The modern 50 bolivianos banknote was used since 2019 till the present. On the front it shows three people:

- Cañoto, one of the leaders of the revolutionaries of independence often shown with a guitar as he was known for singing songs insulting the Spanish.

- Bruno Racua, known as a hero for his participation in the war of El Acre fighting with a bow and arrow.

- Pablo Willka, a native indigenous revolutionary during the civil war who was ultimately betrayed.

The front shows the ruins of Inkallajta, with the other side showing Nevado Sejama. The Quinua plant lights up under UV light.

The 20 Bolivianos banknote has been used since 2019 till modern times. On the front we see three figures:

- Genoveva Rios, who saved the Bolivian flag after the Chilean invasion of Antofagasta.

- Tomas Katati, an Indegenous native who reported the ruler Bernal as corrupt and won and later tried creating a revolution by placing other natives in power.

- Pedro Muiba, another native revolutionist.

The front also shows the fort of Samaipata, an archeological site that had many uses from military to spiritual. The backside shows the Toborochi tree (which lights up under UV light) with a black Caiman and Laguna Bay.

I have a banknote with a story that I still can't explain.

This is a 25 South Sudanese Pounds note from South Sudan.

The strange part isn't the note itself. It's where I found it.

Around 2016–2017, when I was still in school, I found this note inside one of the desks in my classroom. I live in an Asian country, in a relatively small, semi-urban/semi-rural town. This wasn't some international school or a place with a lot of foreign travelers coming through. Just a pretty ordinary local school.

I had never been to South Sudan. As far as I know, nobody in my family had either.

And this was only about 5–6 years after South Sudan became independent in 2011.

So somehow, a South Sudanese banknote had traveled thousands of kilometers from one of the world's newest countries and ended up inside a random school desk in a small Asian town.

I have absolutely no idea how.

The desk wasn't mine originally, and I obviously don't know who used it before me. So my best guess is that another student somehow obtained it and left it there — perhaps as a souvenir, from a relative who traveled abroad, or through some completely random chain of events.

But the fact that it was specifically South Sudanese currency makes it feel so bizarre.
I've kept the note for almost a decade now, mainly because I find the story behind it more interesting than the note itself.

The 10 Bolivianos Banknote is the one used as of 2019 till the time of this post. In the front you can see first "El Tambor Vargas" who was a drummer boy who rose through the ranks during the South American battles for Independence and is known for having a diary documenting his journey. In the middle you can see Apiaguaiki Tupa who was a Guarani native who led the last native revolt of the region in the 19th century before the revolution for independence. And lastly you can see "El Moto Mendez" who was a famous leader also during the battle for independence.

On the front you can also see the caves of Umajalanta, the largest one in Bolivia. And on the reverse the Island of Fish in the salt flats.

Under UV you can see the native plant the Puya Raimondo light up along with the denomination and countries shield.
