Not a banknote per say (in fact it actually says "coin" due to the material).
But I thought I would post my new Goldback here since I haven't seen mention of them yet on Numista. Kind of tricky to photograph.

This is actually classed as a community currency note - even though it is an official issue of the State of Utah.
No American state is actually allowed to issue their own currency as legal tender.
2 x 50p 1918, 25p 1918, 2 x 1mk 1916, 2 x 1mk 1918, 5mk 1909, 1mk 1915, 100mk 1909, 10mk 1898
And some others:
Today I went to an auction and picked up a few cool additions.
Sweden - 12 Riksdaler 1761
i'm feeling very excited for this one as it's the oldest banknote I have ever had in my collection, got it for a bargain too.
United States - 5 Dollars 1914, blue seal.
Not exactly in the best condition but the paper is surprisingly hard and there are no holes or tears on the folds, got it for the starting price.

i live in sweden, and i can say that it isn't easy to get the 1,000 kronor note..you can't just go to a bank, since the banks doesn't handle money/cash, so how did your friend do it? did he rob someone?
Cita: "numis27"I hope not she found it in a change office
LOL, OK!
Fun fats about the 1,000 kronor note:
1) It won't be accepted in most of the stores
2) You cannot withdraw it from an ATM
3) They are mostly used in drug deals and on the black market
4) 98 out of 100 Swedes have never seen a 1,000 kronor note in real life
I have 5% battery, so just a shirt report now, and will add pics later.
got three oieces today (well, tvey arrived yesterday).
First, the new 100 ariary from Madagascar. My first one from that set, but got it for US$0.42, so it's ok!
Second, 50,000 meticais 1993. Now I have up to 100,000 meticais in that set!
Third, 500 pounds from South Sudan. This means that I, once again, have full set from 0.05-500 pounds! (First I had 0.05-100, then I added the 20, and now the 500.)
Cita: "ngdawa"What year are they from?
Why is it written in English? And why is the denomination in dollar?
Yes they are from 1915. The denomination is in USD because Island Creek Stores Co. was a local hardware store in Spitzbergen, where (American) employees of Arctic Coal Company could purchase goods with these coupons. Apparently Island Creek Stores Co. had quite a few stores, some in Spitzbergen but the majority was located on US mainland in Virginia. Apparently a large number of these booklets were found in Spitzbergen a long time ago and they have been sold to collectors (either in loose coupons or complete booklets) ever since.

That is some great information about these banknotes.
I obtained them via an exchange for UK coins for the 6 Svalbard banknotes plus ones from Norway and Sweden.
As you can gather, I am extremely happy with this exchange.

How would i add this to the catalog? If its not a coin and not a banknote, do i add it as exonumia?
Got these two recently for about 15 euro each. The madagascan note is in nice shape. The CFS francs one is a bit rougher shape but can't complain at face value - and already in the process of getting upgraded :)
Wow! Now with the Singaporean and Brunei $10,000 notes out of the game, this 1,000 CHF may be the highest Face Value bank note still circulating with it worth around $2,150 NZD or about $1,300USD.
Unless of course the Swiss have demonitised this too!
No pictures yet for me, but pulled a mint condition 2018 $5 note out of a supermarket self checkout. We have only had one series of $5 notes (2015) and they have just released ones from 2018 (Thats how slack we are in New Zealand), but been lucky with an ATM dispensing 3 consecutive serial number 2016 $20s (Rare in UNC and consecutive nos) and I got 10 x 2022 dated $50 notes out 2 weeks ago - all UNC and unfolded!
I love coins. Especially silver, gold and anything really old.

No, the Swiss have not demonitised this note.
In fact, 35 million of the CHF 1000 banknote were "in circulation" (more likely in vaults or under pillows) in January of 2026 according to data from the Swiss Central Bank.
By the way, the Swiss plan to continue to issue the CHF 1000 banknote for their next series of banknotes (series ''J'' won the design competion)
Unsure of where to post these oddities, I guess here will do.
Today I found some nice pre-ww2 swedish lottery tickets in an antique shop! I usually don’t buy banknotes (even less paper exonumia) but these just felt so interesting (I also haven’t bought anything for my hobby in about a month, so I needed something new :)).
One from 1935, another from 1936!
The 1936 one has a signature on it, perhaps I’ll try to find out more about the person responsible :)
@numis27 you've been busy. Love those old 1000 Pesos from Argentina & picked one up myself. But I have to add that your 5 Francs emergency note from Martinique really takes the cake. It's got great eye appeal too. Congrats on owning such a tough note!
Passing by by chance at a local second-hand dealer. Nothing extraordinary but new or perfect-condition bills. Quite a few Swiss francs and DM also in coins.

I really like your two 50,000 Lira banknotes from Italy (images 5&6) & would like to get one myself some day. Also, the notes from Uruguay look in great shape too!
I like their history, though the design is a strong break with French notes to that point - and later. I also have the German (and some Italian) notes of the same design. Still fascinating to me that some of the German ones were printed by the Soviets. Soviets printing clearly US dollar inspired banknotes along with the Americans for common purpose just seems so odd from today's perspective.
Here's one of my 4 beautiful £10 notes of NZ from the 1940s, this thing is 180mm by 100mm in size and is huge. Back when it was issued, this was 2 weeks wages for most working men then.
I love Horseblanket notes
A very rare $100 note from the 1970s. Just 500,000 notes were issued between 1967 and 1977, this is number G477137 - it was a week's wages for most workers then, hence why very few were used.
