so hello fellow coin collectors how you going today you know I just got a letter
opening but first before we actually get to that this is actually a first issue
stamp set on an envelope I'm not too sure if the Australia Post actually
issues that but have a look at that scene nine thirty four cents 80 cents 90
cents and one dollar I'm covering up it's got my address
I don't we use you know for safety reasons and it's just sad that these
sets are actually just being sent as normal my own now because you're
actually not worth collecting and they're pretty much I need just what if
it is stamps are on it for postage you can't really sell it for any more than
that so it's a pity if it's still a nice thing to collect I actually keep these
and if we look on the actual back it just has some information on what
actually commemorates a banjo penderson and Henry Lawson okay so if we look at
actually what I actually got today so we've got some Chinese banknotes these
are actually nice actually like the clip these this one has a swing yet sin he
was the actual first or probably just second president of China deals another
guy beforehand and decide to clear himself Emperor but we're a bit hit so
oh wow these ones are actually consecutive series so 3205 84 85 I
actually never knew that even though they're in pretty not that well a
condition these are probably printed by the American bank note company and here
we have a pavilion so that's actually my so don't have
these in my collection Oh always gonna sell one but I think I'll just keep both
then we what date is that that is 1940 so during the 40's actually suffer from
bad inflation and it destroyed the actual currency of China so then we have
okay two five key ones so here isn't a one dated so you have to read it this
way so Republic of China 2025 so two plus ten equals or two times 10 equals
20 plus five and that's probably 1936 and we have a lien afterwards yep 1956
national currency Central Bank of China so during this time try and actually
issued a lot of different types of banknotes from different companies some
private some provincial banks also private provincial banks as well and
this one is the central bank so issued from Beijing and as you can see the
signatures and general manager in central manager and then we have another
one from the same bank note so junghwa thank you i knows this one in a bank of
china different 1937 looks like it probably has a bank of china building
probably in Shanghai or Beijing more modern building this one what is that
one after that one has just a look so it might be a temple or probably a cemetery
not too sure and they'd look that up never
this one is a 10 yuan mmm has a nice scene from a battle
wonder if that's the Opium War considering the type of ships actually
used you got one sinking in the front I was shooting
of Kennan's so not too sure and not too sure what who actually issued this year
35 s and 1946 and they thought that one up then we have a wannabe more local
issue 1955 Bank of Communications then we have another Pavillion
this is actually quite a nice back now I already have it so that needed and then
this is the actual front and as you can see has power lines on it so it's nice
banknote red color readies actually good for banknotes as well as blue then is
this the same as the one that I showed before and this is a ten this is the
five you won this is the ten so ten you won this one yes in on it and on the
back it has the same building so just the same sign just in a different
location the watermark is that pavilion here same
as on that Bank now then we have a fifty custom gold unit so this is actually
pretty good condition these ones are actually a bit more expensive probably
about twenty or thirty dollars for this all these ones are property about ten
dollars and I'm surprised about the condition of this American bank note
company and these are actually first issued to just pay custom duties so
probably will change gold and silver into banknotes and got one of these and
pay custom duties but during the 40s though actually made legal tender of
course of two year you banknote shortage and here we have sun yat-sen again it's
a all this script to read from right to left and your last one I have
he's another honor British on that so it's basically in last banknote actually
quite like Chinese banknote so actually quite a good
but there's just way too many of them to collect the whole series a lot of them
actually quite scarce and rare and also as you can see they have similar sizes
for the denominations this one's more towards the inflation period so it's
getting to be smaller and also with these custom gold units they get up to
like five thousand so two hundred fifty thousand and those ones are quite small
so these ones actually you need to click that least 20 or 30 different banknotes
just to get a whole set just so this series so that's probably a whole
pre-decimal series of australia and if you want to click the whole series of
chinese bank nature probably looking at a few hundred in itself which is not
surprising considering the large population of China and the disunity
that actually occurred at this time one five dollars so anyway I hope you like
collecting Chinese bank notes now the market has settled down there is no real
price increase for Chinese bank no it's like if you go 20 years ago these
probably could have got these for like two or three dollars each because they
just would have been common and Chinese market hadn't fully developed you but
now under Chinese markets a lot more mature their prices have increased
because they can actually afford to actually buy this type of stuff so I
don't see any increase in the future because Chinese banknotes reflect if
they usually click the Chinese economy in Oh
as you know we've today's problems it's actually not growing so incomes are not
growing so these prices will probably even fall I would say because a lot more
people we go backwards in there ability to find things so this one if
you can find it for under $10 that's a good deal
definitely purchase it because when the good times get back you can actually
sell for a lot better these ones probably five to ten dollars
each I need to look at that so there's this one I actually solved for like five
thirteen dollars before and this one I solved for ten dollars before but this
one I actually haven't I'm not too sure probably betting also that as well but
if they're in worst condition in nesting the values that should be a lot smaller
so if it has a lot of tears and rips and a lot of folds then the values will
probably about two or three dollars probably even nothing if it's very
seriously damaged so anyway he is we're all over I'll leave links down below to
Chinese bank notes a nearby in case you I never look also links to my own eBay
account as well as links to some other sites that I actually use leave a
comment down below if you have a question about Chinese banknotes and
also have awesome Bank know collecting time figuring a Chan bye-bye
