Owen Linzmayer is working on a new catalog of world banknotes and is looking for certain images. If you're willing to help, please visit http://www.banknotenews.com/scans/scans.html which contains a list of those notes for which he is currently seeking scans.                                                                        6 March 2009
Kate Gibson of Kate's Paper Money, has just placed a Free Ad in our Dealer Ads Section. Kate and her Dad have built a reputation over many years as a dealer that offers "friendly, reliable & efficient service providing high quality notes at competitive prices."

Kate has had contact with banknotes and paper money as long as she can remember. Her father, Keith Gibson, started his coin and note collection in 1955 then dealing in the same in 1968. By the end of 1970, he dumped the ‘small change’ as it were, and dealt only in notes. Kate took over the helm in 2002.


Based on the comments from her customers, I'd say she is doing an excellent job. Here's one from someone I know who has also been around banknotes a long time: "EXCELLENT!!! Superb service, quality, value!!! Thank you for helping to make this such an enjoyable hobby. Kate is a collector at heart and that shows. Her enjoyment of the hobby is shared with everyone who she helps and that just adds to the enjoyment of the notes she helps us with. I always look forward to seeing what she has found for us - when a notice arrives about new additions I know I am in store for a great visit to her web site. I can only add to all the compliments that are so totally well earned."

Salt Spring Island, Canada has released a new $$2 Dollar local currency banknote using a beautifulSalt Spring Island $$2 local currency banknote obverse design based on "The Sleeper" by Canadian artist and sculpture, Kathy Vinter.

This is the first new release since issuing their beautiful series of seven local currency issues in 2001-02. While local currencies have been around a long time the Salt Spring Island issue is unique in that it is 100% backed by the Canadian Dollar as well as being 20% backed by Canada Maple Leaf Gold coins.

The 2002  $$100 Dollar issue features the late Kimiko Okano Murakami, a Japanese Canadian who was sent to an internment camp during WWII. Her family's land, property and possessions were confiscated by the Canadian government and sold. But she returned to Salt Spring in 1954 to farm again, and to be an active and highly respected member of the community.

Eva Perón is featured on the 2001 bonos of Argentina from Rioja ProvinceEva Peron. Bonos are bond-like banknotes that have a specific life predetermined at issue and act like local currency in that they usually circulate in the specific area where they were issued.

We have catalogued 21 different national, provincial and municipal issuers in Argentina starting in 1985 and continuing until the present. Most of these notes have a specific issue date referenced to the authorizing legislation and an expiration date. Some actually pay interest! The bonos of Argentina were begun during a financial crisis but apparently have proved so popular that they continue to be issued long after the primary crises ended.

In addition to the plethora of bonos we have displayed, we also have a series of minichecks issued by various private banks in Argentina during the administration of Juan Domingo Perón Sosa, husband of Eva. These are different than bonos as they are true local currency issues. Almost all of the bonos and minichecks have been submitted by Dutch numismatist, William N. Keijzers
who we gratefully acknowledge for his outstanding help.                                                                                        4 December  2008

Norges Bank began first picturing their revered personalities in 1877 with King Oscar II. In 1977 the first woman to appear on a Norway banknote was writer Camilla Collett, who has been referred to as Norway's first feminist. Novelist and Nobel laureate Sigrid Undset is pictured on the 500 Kroner notes starting in 1999.

Our sincere thanks go to the late Walter Jellum  for his help with this section.
