The "FINE PRINT"
Use of this site acknowledges your acceptance of the following conditions:

1. DISCLAIMER: This is a non-commercial website published by an individual. We neither buy or sell banknotes or offer paid advertisements. See our Collector and Dealer Free Ads section for possible sources of banknotes you might be seeking or selling. If you don't find what you are looking for, let us know and we may have some idea of where to look.

This display of banknotes is for educational, hobby and informational purposes and as such, no recognition or support for any group is implied or intended. This site is not affiliated with the United Nations or any other political organization. It is our choice as to which banknotes are displayed and we welcome suggestions and comments from visitors. Our long term goal is to have all banknotes from every issuing authority listed on this site.

We have recently been made aware of the political implications of displaying banknotes from certain entities and we will carefully consider this policy. We welcome comments on any banknotes displayed.

We make no representation as to the accuracy, appropriateness or completeness of the information or images presented nor do we make any claim of warranty or fitness for use of the website for any purpose.

2. FAIR USE: Images such as the country flag and others may be copyrighted by its holder. As well, it is known that the representation of certain such symbols is either copyrighted by the holder of the symbol, or is available under a free license. There may also be other restrictions on reproduction, including but not limited to article 6ter of the Paris Convention. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of such symbols to support the illustration of the country qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law.  

3. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:  Many individuals have provided information and images for use on this site and we will credit those sources whenever they have provided their permission to do so. See 4.e) below.

4. SCANS: If you have banknote images to contribute to the site, please let us know first as we have many thousands of images not yet put on the numismondo.com site. We are currently looking for rare or unusual banknote images or specialists offerings of certain countries not well represented on the site. We do not buy, sell or trade banknotes.

When submitting images please use the following procedure:

If you submit a scan of a banknote or picture, please indicate the copyright information when applicable. We respect international copyright laws and will remove any content that violates these conventions. Please advise us of any images or content you believe to be in violation and it will be promptly investigated and removed if found in violation.

We occasionally get requests for scans and periodically provide them for non-commercial and commercial uses. Students and scholars are given priority consideration for image and information requests. See 5. below.
 

IMAGE SCAN PROCEDURE

a)

Scan banknotes at 300 dots per inch, full size and email a few at a time. If possible, use a black background as I add a black background or border and it would save me a lot of Photoshop time if this is done beforehand.

b)

Save in .jpg format.

c)

Please name the files beginning with the Numismondo ISO3 based code designation for each country or entity.

Use the following format for naming, i.e. using Cook Islands as an example:
cok P.9  $20 1992.jpg (for the front of the note)
cok P.9  $20 1992 r.jpg (for the back of the note)

Please do not use any punctuation, except in the catalog number

If the banknote is not listed in any recognized catalog, use P.UNL (not listed in Pick) or SB.UNL (not listed in Schwan Boling), etc. Write if you have questions.

d)

Because of the large size of the scans, please send just a few at a time, preferably just the front and back of the same banknote.

e)

We usually provide an acknowledgement of the contributor of images and information. Please let us know if you want us to include:
 

a)

Just your initial, i.e. G.S.E.

b)

Just your full name and any affiliation, i.e. Garry Saint, Esquire, IBNS

c)

Just your email address - in which case we use a graphic to prevent search robots from automatically picking up your email address:

d)

Your name and email. Garry Saint, Esquire, IBNS

e)

No acknowledgement, in which case I usually say something like "image contributed by a collector"

5. USE OF SCANS FROM THIS SITE: We get many requests from students, scholars, collectors and others for use of our scans for various commercial and non-commercial purposes. In most cases we can comply with these requests. Please email us with your requests.
 
6. BANKNOTE IDENTIFICATION: If you have a banknote you want identified it is necessary that you send us a scan of the front and back. We sometimes charge $0.99 USD for each note payable by PayPal only. If we are not able to positively identify the note there will be no charge. We will also give you our retail price estimate, if possible, and let you know if there will be a charge.

7. VALUE ESTIMATES: Value estimates, when given, are based on the authors experience and opinion. We are not dealers and do not buy or sell banknotes. See disclaimer 1. above. If you want to know if a particular banknote is current and exchangeable into another currency, we suggest you visit the Central Bank website of the country of issue to see if they indicate the banknotes status.
