Anil Bohora has
published a book related to banknotes titled "Banknote Stories". Congratulations.
Here's the book's Introduction.
-Editor
Every banknote tells a story. There is visual interplay between the various elements on
the banknotes. In this way, a banknote resembles a well-rounded story that includes a
fascinating plot and characters.
A banknote is a representation of a country in a miniature format. If we look closely
enough, banknotes of the world tell us interesting stories of the time they were printed
and used, places, politics, culture, and history. Banknotes feature mythical creatures,
local heroes, national treasures, or natural wonders, but sometimes they also feature
unintended design elements.
One of the most important features of banknotes is that people need to trust them.
Banknotes have played a critical role in shaping the global economy, acting as a
medium of exchange for transactions. These pieces of printed paper hold immense
power, as they serve as a symbol of trust in financial systems worldwide.
In this book some of the topics I have covered include banknotes reflecting the impact
of hyperinflation, banknotes with hidden messages and secrets, banknotes with a
difference, different materials used to make banknotes, banknotes telling us war
stories, banknotes as works of art; etc.
The book is well written and illustrated, with stories of interest to beginning and advanced collectors alike. Topics include
inflation notes, hidden messages and symbols, the world's largest banknotes by size and denomination, design errors, odd denominations, banknote materials (including Walrus skin and playing cards), currency symbols, short snorters, Prisoner of War scrip, time-based currency,
and the only convicted
forger in the world depicted on a banknote.
