Hello! I am a bank employee. For the moment I have to make an information bank with scannings of international banknotes (as well as current ones (even those of the countries who use the euro, but whose notes are still redeemable for a couple of years, as those who are to be redeemed within a couple of years. I have a phtographic reproductions at the head office, but it will take *a lot of time* to scan them neatly. The concerned continents are: America, Africa, Asia, Oceanië, Europe. Where can I find such reproductions specimen in color on internet? |

Greetings rambogonzales-ga, I was very interested in your search, and have found a great number of resources I'm sure you'll be happy with, and one site in particular I find very fascinating. The primary resource for you in my opinion is going to be banknotes.com (http://www.banknotes.com). This site is a comprehensive and exhaustive research of most all, if not every banknote in the world! This site is very user friendly, and its menu structure is hierarchical by continent and on down, so your specific notes will be easy to find. I sampled a few graphics of notes from very obscure countries, and found each scan to be of superior quality and most likely will fill your need. In addition, I also have included below the links to sites of interest for the United States, Canada and Euro banknotes. I'd start with the banknotes.com though. I hope this helps, and good luck! -0- mosquitohawk-ga My search strategy was to use google.com with the following keywords, no quotes: 'banknotes currency [country]' Banknotes.com http://www.banknotes.com/ A comprehensive and exhaustive reference, including high quality scans of world banknotes, including all those continents you have listed. ---------------- UNITED STATES ---------------- U.S. Secret Service 'Know Your Money' Site Features characteristics of all U.S. paper monies as outlined used a $5 note example. http://www.ustreas.gov/usss/money_characteristics.shtml U.S. Secret Service 'Detecting Counterfeits' Site http://www.ustreas.gov/usss/money_detect.shtml U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing Examples of $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100 front and reverse http://www.bep.treas.gov/section.cfm/4/26 U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing Examples of $500, $1000, $5000, $10000 front and reverse http://www.bep.treas.gov/section.cfm/5/42 ---------- EURO ---------- European Central Bank Examples of the new Euro notes in 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, & 500 euro denominations (follow the images links to a larger size image of each denomination and dimension specifics) http://www.euro.ecb.int/en/section/testnotes.html ---------- CANADA ---------- Bank of Canada New $5 note http://www.bankofcanada.ca/en/banknotes/general/character/2001_05f.htm Bank of Canada New $10 note http://www.bankofcanada.ca/en/banknotes/general/character/2001_10.htm Bank of Canada $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100, $1000 (1986 series) notes http://www.bankofcanada.ca/en/banknotes/general/character/1986.htm Bank of Canada links to pre-1986 series notes, including the 1935, 1937, 1954, & 1969-1979 series (follow the link for the appropriate series to the information/image page) http://www.bankofcanada.ca/en/banknotes/general/character/bns.htm Banknotes.com A comprehensive and exhaustive reference, including high quality scans of world banknotes, including all those continents you have listed. |

I thank you for you search. However Im am no satisfied at all. What I am exactly looking for are the scans of the banknotes who are still in circulation. If they aren't still in circulation till what date are they in cirulation. In every way the have to be stamped "specimen". It is not for my hobby, it's on behalf of my job. If you can help me in that way I will rise my list price to $30.OO. Do I have this confirmation as a new GA, or is it agreeds? Greetz, rambogoneales-ga rambogonzales-ga |

Wow, what a project! Im not sure how your bank intends to use the scanned images but you (or they) should be aware that US law imposes severe restrictions on the reproducing of images of currency, stamps, banknotes and the like: The Counterfeit Detection Act of 1992, Public Law 102-550, in Section 411 of Title 31 of the Code of Federal Regulations, permits color illustrations of U.S. currency provided: 1 --- the illustration is of a size less than three-fourths or more than one and one-half, in linear dimension, of each part of the item illustrated; 2 --- the illustration is one-sided; and 3--- all negatives, plates, positives, digitized storage medium, graphic files, magnetic medium, optical storage devices, and any other thing used in the making of the illustration that contain an image of the illustration or any part thereof are destroyed and/or deleted or erased after their final use. http://www.secretservice.gov/money_illustrations.shtml Other countries may have similar laws. Good luck with your project -- K~ |

You need to repost your question at the above $$, if you want me to answer it again, specifically request that in the body of your question. Instead of rejecting my answer, in the future, you can ask for clarification from the answerer and not give them a bad rating. Bad ratings can cause researchers to be dropped. If you must have those things, then you should mention them specifically because according to your question, I answered it wholly. If you had been more specific, you would have received a more specific answer. Anyway, these are just suggestions, so if you want to repost your question at the higher rate, go for it! |
