Acquisitions for Year 2005
and Site
Update
As of: 17 December 2005
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:
I'm back! I had put myself on a self imposed "vacation" so that I could finally finish up my bachelor's degree. I am now concentrating on getting caught up with my scanning (personal and donated notes) and the posting of the scans. Once I have completed that phase, I will start digging into the scans archive and try to post the "P-New" items first (whenever possible). Anyway, I still have thousands of scans to be processed and only me to do the work, so I can only commit to getting what I can get done when I can get it done!
So far, Canada, Great Britain, The Central European Bank, Turkey and U.S.A. have all contacted me to cease and desist placing scans, as they currently exist, on the internet. Much of what drives their motivation revolves around MORONS and CRIMINALS who print off scans and attempt to use them as actual currency, i.e. counterfeiting. Under no circumstances should any of the scans on this site be printed, to do so without the permission of the issuing government is counterfeiting. I won't get into the legal nit-picking, just don't do it. In the future I am reducing all images I post to between 600 & 700 dpi (the default is 600, smaller notes that scan at slightly higher than 600 I won't bother reducing.)
Well, 2004 wasn't one of my better years. I had several setbacks in my life that impacted on my desire to maintain the website and for that I apologize. But, with two monetary donations, one each from Richard Sutherland and Sebastian Strobl I have been able to renew the "banknoteworld" domain name for at least the next 4 years. I have also recently received very generous note donations from Spartan, Abdullah Beydoun, Franck Medina, Glen Smith and Morris Lawing. These notes will be posted shortly. Based on the generosity of the aforementioned individuals, I have done some serious soul searching. I came to realize that even though I may not be in a position to acquire many notes on my own at this time, there are still people out there who are willing to share what they have. Their example has taught me that the site is important to not only them, but also to countless others. So, I will try to do as much as I can, while I can, to maintain the site this year (and hopefully for many more years into the future). Again, I thank those who have contributed so generously, you have helped to restore my faith in myself and the work that I do for the website.
I am still horribly behind in updating. People have been so great about contributing scans that I may never get caught up. But, that's fine, at least it will keep me employed. Only several thousand more and I'll be done! Just be aware that it may be several weeks (or even months) before submitted scans appear. Also, I've been getting a lot of scans that are virtually impossible to identify by the file name (no country name, denomination, catalog number, etc.) Because of the work involved, scans such as these will have lowest priority. There is only me to do the updating and I have to work as efficiently as possible to get the donated scans posted from the people who do make the extra effort to make my job easier.
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.
