Standard Catalog of World Paper Money: Specialized Issues

Much easier to use than older versions. Better illustrated. Makes identifying banknotes surer and quicker. Values updated, but still may be far from current selling prices as with any catalog. A must-have for any collector of specialixed issues.

This book along with occasional use of the WEB has enabled me to identify currency from countries that not only do not use english style letters but the number systems as well. The text has both some color and a lot of black and white photos of currency along with a brief description of what the note is called. The pictures enable positive ID of a piece of Cucurrency. The book is a must have for the serious collector.

This book is invaluable source of information for both collectors as well as dealers of modern banknotes. The major flaw, however, is the unrealistic UNC catalog values for most banknotes. The majority are exaggerated and no one can sell at even 50% of such CVs. However, the book stands as a unique source and a vault of invaluable information about all modern banknotes.

this book is great in term for those who very very interested in world currency and pro in this field... it may be good to own a copy of this book cause it include a lot of world money that you and me were not born yet... especially note that impress me is the CHINA's CENTURY ... it is like amazing to see those kind of note that never thought of it would be called as "money"...anywhere this book is great... and if this book improving its' note with color than it is highly recommended...thank you...regards,Jason Yap
