INSANE VALUABLE World Banknote Search w/Rare & Old Paper Currency - Collection Unboxing 

In case you haven't found out yet: the "The Japanese Government" notes you have were issued by the Imperial Japanese Government in the Southeast Asian countries that they had attacked and occupied during WW2. These notes were to serve as regular currency in replacement of the notes that had been circulated by the British, Dutch, and American colonial administrations that were ousted. The rupees were issued in British-Burma (today's Myanmar), the pesos in the Philippines (a de-facto U.S. colony at the time), the dollars in British-Malaya (today's Malaysia and Singapore), and the dollars with Dutch writing in the Dutch East Indies (today's Indonesia). However, the various currencies reportedly were not well accepted by the local populations -- which perhaps explains why there are today still so many available in excellent, uncirculated condition. And the small German notes are actually "Notgeld", literally "emergency money". They were issued after WW1 (and before the hyperinflation began!) by towns and cities in lieu of coinage, which was in severly short supply at the time. These notes could only be used for payments of smaller amounts within the issuing city or town. In other words: they were NOT national currency, but what collectors today would perhaps describe as "community money". Some of them can be really, really valuable. So you better do your homework and check out each of the notes!

Notgeld are some of my favorite notes to collect cause of the variety of them! Christian, you got some sick ones in here!

I was gonna say that the ones after the Japanese were Notgeld(emergency money) from Germany and I agree with Schalke that they are pretty amazing. I've only watched for minutes while being a stay at home dad and my son(Daxton 22 months) rather enjoys watching you he was smiling while you were talking in the beginning. Looking forward to the rest of the massive amount of world banknotes. Keep up the great videos Christian.

5:34 Deutshe Amerika-Woche literally means “German American Week” in German

Thanks for sharing these historical notes!

I loved collecting when I was younger , lol money's not great now that's its not just my allowance going to it but I cannot wait to continue my collection. Love video like this.

I just received a 1000 dollar bill from my Grandmother who saved this bill note when she was still around. The date on the bill was something like 1700's. So I'm scanning through the net to find out just how much it is worth! The bill is about 4 inches long and 3 inches wide and it's overall color is yellow brown!

Excellent selection of banknotes. Like for the video!

The Japanese government banknotes were used during the Japanese occupation during WW2 for several countries that they occupied including Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Also the regional notes that you mentioned is notgeld from post WW1 germany when regions were just told to just print their own money because the german economy was in shambles.

Excellent video for collectors. Your pacing was nice...not spending too much time on common finds. When people comment on the relative value of notes, they probably don't consider the collectors' market. I would not take the advice of a coin shop and their bottom line. The rarity/value of some items will fluctuate, and the collectors' market will dictate. And that goes for fantasy notes as well, with their limited number production. Your passion, knowledge and enthusiasm is contagious. Thanks!

By far the best unveiling of foreign paper currency, or any paper currency for that matter. Interesting. I especially like the graphics on the old Germanic notes. But because of my short attention span i would have preferred you had broken this up into two-to-four segments. Thereby going into greater detail on some of these notes. In fact this video was so long that from beginning to end you had to have a wardrobe change. You started the video with a blue t-shirt and finished with a red t-shirt. Not sure if that was a political statement or not. After all, some things have changed on the political front since when you first started the video. Nevertheless, I loved it.

Thank You for making world coins and notes videos, I've been collecting for 40 years..

Some of those old German notes have really striking artwork!

Lovely note to finish the first group on, the Trinidad and Tobago $1 (1939) one of my all time favourites in nice condition!

Great! But why didnt your put all of them in sleeves? And where did you buy them?

Those are awesome, I might have to branch into currencies 😄

great video dude, I haven’t even finished the video but all your videos are awesome Keep up the great content!

A so kind notes Christian shows the valuable of this great hobbie and its his HISTORY .....❤

I love this, opening my eyes to some new banknotes!

that's a lot of notes, thanks for sharing

I received a bunch of world paper money and finely had time to research them. I found several worth over $300 in UNC condition. Love to see all the different paper money looks like too. Good luck

Any recommendations of where should I buy some German marks?? And if so what websites you’d recommend.

8am here in Manila and i started my day salavating at this newest hunt of your Christian! Great score! tons of wartime material so thats a winner :) the 1800s notes really woke me up! lol ps. i also started with paper money instead of coins, my first collection was an assortment of Philippine Guerilla banknotes from different provinces here in the Philippines

The kind of videos I love to watch 😄😄😄 1 - Japanese invasion money, officially known as Southern Development Bank Notes, was currency issued by the Japanese Military Authority, as a replacement for local currency after the conquest of colonies and other states in World War II. Money that was issued included the Philippines, Burma (now Myanmar), Malaya, North Borneo and Sarawak (now Malaysia), Singapore, Brunei, the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia) and some areas of Oceania (New Guinea and the Solomon and Gilbert islands). 2 - Notgeld (German for "emergency money" or "necessity money") refers to money issued by an institution in a time of economic or political crisis. Notgeld was a mutually-accepted means of payment in a particular region or locality, but notes could travel widely. 6:00 It is Soviet 5 Rubles and the languages on the obverse are the native languages of some of their Republics (Kazakh, Uzbeks, Tajiks, etc.). 20:40 *Billion

WOW!!! I wish I could buy some of these one day... Anyways "the Japanese government" one rupee was used in the Japanese imperium countries like for example Indonesia back in WWII 👍😁

The five ruble note was from the USSR and was printed before and after WWII :)

Awesome banknote review. 👍

Fun video, thanks for sharing!

I wish I had this collection 🤪

Amazing collection and educational video, thumbs up.

The 1000 pesos is occupied Philippines WWII and the yen notes are from Korea or Japan depending on the B or A on it and has English because of the American troops stationed there after WWII and has Japanese for the Japanese soldiers/people there.

The 25 cent note is called a Shinplaster - Canada 🇨🇦 issued them. The Landsbanki Islands is currency from Iceland.

That’s some sweet moneys

Just like postage stamps paper money can be seen as art what a great pile of fun

If I may suggest, since you might encounter more Notgelds in the future, watch the introduction to Notgeld video by Jesse from Notgeld Market RU-vid channel. Whenever I get to acquire Notgelds, I always watch that to inspire myself :)

8:30 Finally someone said it. Only thing I ever bought from Littleton was these plastic type-set holders for like a buck each, but all of their actual coins/currency they sell is an utter rip-off to the highest degree

I love netgelds now I have that 1919 5 Mark in my cart have you checked out the 2020 100 Peso from Mexico?

Wow,Awesome!

Many of those German fittings you have from pre-World War were during the hyperinflation after World War II minted by different city-states. The safe-conduct pass with things that Americans dropped in the jungles and left off in The Villages for the Vietnamese who were VC or via calm could use it to get through and surrender to the Americans that's an original one you have

Hay Christian I watched your video this morning in Australia I like the old Italian and Croatian bank notes from the 20s 30s 40s man

Oh wow! How did you get them? You are a millioner, wow.

I love your Japanese notes *.*

Old German notes just look like postcards

Hrvatska Kuna Croatian / Hungarian currency. There was a property/land mass called Hrvatska or Horvath. Which by coincidence is my last name. Horvat goes even further back to Jewish descent in Iraq and Israel from where people migrated to Croatia/Czechoslovakia/Poland/Rumania all of which were one land pre18th century I'm guessing. The spelling changes for some reason, probably because education or translation of it. I have Hungarian Pengo that goes back to 1941 Budapest and other bills also. Cool collection.

07:59 is indeed insanely expensive, if it is a real one. That is German East Africa, so before WW1.....thanks for sharing this through a video, I enjoyed it a lot.

Thank you for your information because i know old currency from my country Indonesia thank you sir i hope you succes and healthy

I don’t think you know this but the Greek 1955 series is actually very valuable, if you can find a crisp 500 Drachma it’s worth $100 or more and circulated $60 so look out for that. Not to mention any coin or bill from the Cretan state is extremely valuable too.

Hi, I like your channel. where do you buy paper money?

Wow you certainly have some very interesting notes. I collect some foreign currency but I'm still not sure how much they are worth.

Old great collection thx

The 500,000 marked with the 2 heads... you have a star note of it *1W-085485

Super likes👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Where can i get wholesale banknotes like the ones shown in tjis video?

Hi my name is Trung and I intersted to have only one note from Vietnam. I am Vietnamese and live in Australia just wondering if you sell that note? Love to hear from you if you want to sell and how much? Thank you for the video

Rare Paper Money👍💰💵💴💸👍

most likely not the case in this situation, but having a bunch of something doesnt always mean it isnt rare or not valuable :P I once bought a magic the gathering card lot with all older cards from when it first came out and there was MULTIPLES of most of the cards, some of them being worth a good chunk of money. 9 force of wills which at the time was worth around $90-110 each. Plus, some people collect multiples because its special or something. But regardless, really dig the video! Keep up the good work, christian.

where do you get these lots and grab bags??

real treasure!!!

I`m not too familiar with foreign currency. I enjoy your videos.

How do you come across lots like this? I would love to stumble upon someone's old collection of notes.

Awesome!

I have bank notes from other countries how do I find out the value of them? China, Japan, Spain, Brazil etc!

Those where Japanese occupation notes. The rupees were for occupied Burma and the een cents where for most likely occupied Dutch islands. The centavos where for occupied Philippines. There’s also the victory note for when the U.S. took the Philippines back and put “victory” on the back and is called the victory series. America also made banknotes for many poor Allied country’s that couldn’t make it themselves.

H-E double hockey sticks? Did you just make a Radar O'Reilly from M*A*S*H reference, Christian? LOL

One bundle of those crisp notes at $8-$10 a note would be $500 , so how did you come up with a total value of $500 for everything.

I've collected world coins/currencies for 37+ years. But I'm a hoarder., and never sell/trade anything. I have literally thousands of world banknotes & tens of thousands of coins. But the banknotes I find extra special, because "to me" they are small pieces of artwork. Such beautiful designs on soo many notes. Unfortunately it makes our United States notes look really boring.

Some lovely notes in there, but many of the valuations are completely cosmic, x2 or x3 at least of the real value.

The cheque at 20:40 is actually for ten BILLION marks!

4:56 this is written in Romanian as well cause a part of hungary was romanian

You have a very rare bank of China five dollars bill which is blue.

Banknotes are pretty awesome but I'm intimidated by my lack of knowledge. Christian I loved my grab bag btw.

How much can you get back by exchange currency from the bank? More or less.

Does the Queen's passing present any unique opportunities for countries that have her on their currency? Canada, Australia? Will King Charles be on the money all of a sudden? Will that bring new issues worth trying to get a hold of? Are you doing a video on it? lol Questions, man! Questions!

Where can I get these lots? The foreign lots I find on Ebay are basically the same. Just some common east Asian stuff

Ive seen the video several times before now im looking at it again.hope im not late to ask christian to offfet me the banknote with a value of one(denomination one).sincere pleasure to buy it.

where have you buy this

Where did you get these and would you consider selling whole lot?

-- Cont'd from previous "Blog"-- #17:36 Obsolete Canadian 25¢ note (probably no longer "cash-able") #18:23 German & Austrian Not Geld Notes Envelope (Has a lot of value {?} Do the research). #22:33 Greece switched over to the Euro at the turn of the century (in 2000). Drachma notes may still be exchanged for Euros (check the exchange market.). #27:09 It was worth about $3.50 when I was over there in 1963 -64. #--28:44-- "MPC" (Military Pay Certificate (US- Vietnam "War" era) There's a catalog out for US MPC. #29:53 Could be redeemable! #30:45 French West Africa, (?) #32:43 Russian conversion from Czarist to Communist notes. #35:47 Japanese Occupied Philippino 10 Centavos. (Still being passed to naive tourists & service persons in the mid-1960s.) #36:21 Probably issued prior to the Japanese invasion in WW II. (Or possibly later, just "back dated.") #38:46 ALL Russian Notes are RUBLES (prior to 1918 = Czar [Tsar], 1918-1990 = Communist, Present = "Republic." #41:02 Jap occupation PI money. #41:16 Allied Occupation of Germany. #41:31 Allied Occupation of Japan.

The German "Pfennig" banknotes are unfortunately stamps 😬

#1:26 Old Post Cards are collectible, a stamp dealer would (probably) be interested in that. #1:46 (and others) Any note that has tape on it is worthless and valued as "Space Filler." (25¢). #2:18 ALL "Japanese Government" currencies are WW II Occupation Notes and from countries Japan occupied in the West Pacific and have various denominations, depending on the country occupied (Rupees = [later] Indonesia). #2:26 That is a WW II Japanese Note (could be Hong Kong {?}) #2:35 Jap-occupied "Indonesia". #2:46 Jap-occupied Philippines. #3:01 German (or Austrian) Not Geld, issued during their "Inflationary Period." (worth money?) #3:13 "DER STADT" = "The City (of)..." (German NOT GELD). #3:36 Saint Pierre & Miquelon (Right below & east of Canada in the Atlantic Ocean). #3:46 (French Colony Viet Nam) #4:49 (Post WW I) Hungarian note (prior to their "Inflationary Period") {"TIZ" = 10} -- Continued next "Blog"

THOSE russian notes are quite expensive, that 50 goes over 50$ on ebay
