RE: 5 Sen Banknote from 1944

in LeoFinance2 years ago

I like how it looks brand new. One thought: It's quite possible that it was more expensive to print this note than the value of the note itself \o\

Sort:  

It may have! One thing I didn't mention about this note in the post, though, is that it is made with really cheap paper, not normal banknote paper. The cheap paper is probably one of the reasons it was so easy for people to counterfeit the note. So while you may be right that it cost more for them to print it than the face value, the difference may not have been as great as if it had been a proper banknote.

I also noticed the back side is really simple, so perhaps another measure to cut on costs. Fiat money is fascinating, that so many ppl believe these paper notes are worth anything.
