Banknote collectors may focus on the more modern notes, from Bradbury onwards but all of us need to give a nod to the past. Englsih Banking history was so vibrant during the late 18th and 19th Centuries.

In ‘Kelly’s Heroes’ Donald Sutherland is a ‘Hippie’ Tank Driver. He tells people not to give him ‘Negative Waves’. England lost the Final but it was a brilliant game and such tough luck on three young players. They deserve support and thanks for all their efforts and not ‘Negative Waves’.

Amongst the Provincial Notes there is a ‘Sight Note’ from the Truro Moners’ Bank (dating to the 1770s) which is similar and rare indeed. Have a browse of these… Read more »

Scotland are in the Euros, the first major competition for many years. I still remember the hope when Ally McCleod was the National Team manger, but the hope foundered on the shores of disappointments. Perhaps this year we can make progress to the last sixteen. Hope still blooms. Perhaps it’s time to look at the… Read more »
I took delivery of notes won at auction. The Auction House is well-known amongst Banknote Collectors. Two single UNC notes are shy of the grading. One is EF as there is clear fold and corner crease and the other has a fold that has been ‘pressed out’. I find it hard to accept how these… Read more »
