Category of banknotes on Colnect is so various and diverse and includes paper money from
299 countries. There are some interesting facts about banknotes those you can find in our catalog.
The largest dollar bill ever issued was a Gold Certificate that has the face value of 100 000. They were issued in 1934 and were used for transactions between Federal Reserve banks only.
Banknotes with the £1 face values were in circulation from 1796. During the French Revolutionary wars, banknotes with small face values were printed to replace gold coins. £1 banknotes
had circulated until 1988. The last issue of £1 banknote
was decorated with the picture of Sir Issac Newton.
Do you know that Martha Washington is the only woman memorialized on US paper money? Her portrait was printed on a silver certificate in denominations of $ 1 issue in 1886, 1891 and 1896.
