Lewes pound note

[longnine009]

Does anyone have a Lewes England pound note (community currency) they want to sell?

[scottishmoney]

The prices are getting a bit more reasonable on the 'bay, but awhile back they were going for £25-30 each!.  Now they can be found for under £4 each.

I want one too when they get reasonable.  I like the Tom Paine connection on the notes.

Hey templar....how does one go about getting a copy of this for my "funny money" collection?

[scottishmoney]

Now there is some Euro denominated currency purportedly being issued in Friesland, in Netherlands that is valid only in that province.  I wonder how the EU feels about a currency being issued in the EU, but by a province of Netherlands without EU sanction?

Hey templar....how does one go about getting a copy of this for my "funny money" collection?

 WELL I THINK I HAVE A SET OF THREE--ONE FROM EACH BAR--$9.00 FACE VALUE--IF YOU ARE STILL INTERESTED LET ME KNOW--I LIKE OLD COINS OR AUSTALIAN PAPER--WILL SELL OR TRADE----THEY ARE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION BUT NOT CRISP UNCIRCULATED!

           I AWAIT YOUR ANSWER--THE TEMPLAR

[Humpybong]

SOLD!

You do not have to ask twice!

I was looking on the Lewes site for the banknotes, and what I do not like about them is their limited time usage, they are only good for one year then they lose validity.  I like the designs of them though, and would like to order them from the town site, but cannot get over that they go worthless next October.

   HUMPY--I WILL PUT THE THREE BEST IN THE MAIL TODAY OR TOMORROW

Here is the Friesland note from Netherlands:

 Friesland €5 2009
Not quite sure on the legal authority issuing this, but it is from Friesland, a Dutch province north of Amsterdam:

   


At any rate a fairly interesting note and I wonder if it might cause some stir in €uroland.

"Amerika"? Yes, it seems that it is becoming like Kalifornia.

[Templar]

KRASNI---WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO GET ME ONE OR TWO OF THOSE NOTES FROM FRIESLAND? THEY ARE TRUELY BEAUTIFUL AND I REMEMBER A CHARLESTON HESTON MOVIE "WAR LORD" IN WHICH HE MUST DEFEND THE KING'S LAND AGAINST THE FRIESLANDERS WHO SEEMED LIKE VIKINGS--ANYWAY--IF POSSIBLE I WOULD PAY YOU OR TRADE SOMETHING FROM MY HUMBLE WAR CHEST
