Money money money
They say that money is the root of all evil. You think so? I don’t believe in you. I love money. My heart skips a beat every time a see a fresh, uncirculated paper bill.
I have been collecting paper money from other countries for more than a year now. Most of my collection are uncirculated. This means that Not even a single crease is present of the bill, no pen ink, no stapler holes, and definitely no no paperclip marks.
I already have bills from countries like Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Czechoslovakia, Brazil, Poland, Yemen, Uganda, Surimane, to name a few. I also have the polymer (or the plastic) notes from Romania and Papua New Guinea. I also have some limited editions of note like the centennial anniversary of the death of Jose Rizal on a 1-Piso bill, the 1995 World Youth Day Special print on a 1-Piso bill.
These bills make me feel satisfied and fulfilled. They allow me to explore the beauty of a country by studing its notes.
Do you know that famous personalites are also on other countries notes? Galileo is on the 2000 Lira, Democritus is on the Greek note as well. Marie Curie is also on the French Francs.
