New Acquisitions for Year 2003
and Site Update

As of: 2 December 2003

Permanent Note:

DONATED SCANS MUST BE SCANS THAT THE CONTRIBUTOR HAS PERSONALLY MADE OF NOTES THAT THEY OWN OR ACTUAL NOTES THAT THEY HAVE HELD IN THEIR OWN HANDS AND WERE ABLE TO MAKE A SCAN. More and more frequently I am receiving scans that are obtained from other sites to include Central Bank sites or reference books, I cannot use scans obtained in this manner. Even if a site says that the scan can be copied, the rights to the image still remain with the originator. Persons who donate scans obtained in this manner (without giving the exact origin of the scan) are in violation of copyright laws, regardless of their good intentions and all scans they submitted will be deleted. The bottom line is, you can't contribute something as yours that you have no right to give!

UPDATE:

Well, I've made a small dent in a very large stack of scans. I've processed over 750 scans (approx. 375 notes) and I am about half way through with getting them posted. They are all on the servers, just have to create the links so that you can view them! I am balancing school and work so the updating has taken a back seat. I will do my best to complete the current batch of scans this week, but come the weekend I am studying for my final and no updating will take place until after the 9th of December, so keep your fingers crossed that I get it done.
***Just a quick note. When submitting scans, I need BOTH the front and back scans of the note (obvious uniface or easily identifiable uniface notes are optional). I have been receiving many front scans only and I will not process/post them until I receive back scans of the the notes!
Banknoteworld.com has a new static IP address: http://149.166.91.26/ but don't worry, www.banknoteworld.com will still forward itself to the website.
Please! If you find image linking errors (or any error for that matter) don't be afraid to contact me with the information. I tend to do a lot of updates whenever I can find the time, which means I work very quickly, have many interruptions and make a lot of errors. I rely on visitors and scan donators to the site to proof read for me!
For persons interested in donating scans to the website, I have provided general guidelines for scanning, format, naming, etc., on my "Note Information" page. Please try to follow the guidelines, they will save me a ton of work and allow me to post images much more quickly. Thank you!
I want to apologize to all who e-mail me but don't receive a response. I love to receive e-mail, I just hate to answer it! I also receive numerous requests for prices and note identification, but I just don't have the inclination or time to answer questions of this sort. Sorry.
