These are weird little banknotes. I guess in the 70's, Italian banks issued mini checks like this 150 lire 'check' as a banknote.   |

Just received an original 1965 Queen Elizabeth II Bahamas $3 bill. Which reverse do you like better, the sunbathers or the sailboats? The 1965 bill is certainly more colourful.
-It's a tough call as the early notes are very attractive but the 1986 Series from Bahamas are no "slouches" either. I also like the 1992 Commemorative $1 which features Christopher Columbus. I honestly like all the designs but the P-49 $100 (with the blue marlin on the back) is exceptionally impressive (& hard to find). https://en.numista.com/catalogue/note274556.htmlA lot of the higher denominations ($10 & up) are especially tough to find in the better grades. @commems added a nice thread on $1.00 banknotes from Bahamas: http://goccf.com/t/409411He shows three early versions from the 1960's 1965 "The Bahamas Government" 1968 "Bahamas Monetary Authority" 1974 "Central Bank of Bahamas"

Thanks @walk2dwater for the links, that's very interesting. The marlin bill would be nice to have.

Not my highest denomination note but getting up there, here is a 1923 500,000,000 Mark German Notgeld from the District of Palatinate in the Federal State of Bavaria. The purple in the note has held up well with time.   |

Yugoslavia has many odd denominations including this 1993 5,000,000 dinara note featuring Nikola Tesla who looks creepy AF on this note. On the reverse is a Tesla coil and a hydro power plant.   |

Nice set of notes posted up above. I'll go back through mine to see what I can find.

For US notes there is an out-of-print pamphlet of odd US denominations. Mostly broken banks. The pamphlet is 32 pages long with around 75-100 notes in denominations from 5 Mills (5/100ths of a cent) to a $3000 note from Morris Canal and Banking. Let me know if you want anything specific posted from the pamphlet.  |
