Samples of local currency needed

My hands-on exhibit will offer visitors a chance to compare over 150 types of currency, both current and obsolete, in order to understand how and why changes are affected, i.e. because of inflation, gaining independence, change to head of state and so on.

My goal is to obtain sufficient examples from all issuing authorities for compilation in a book on the subject when the project is completed. I am working with colleagues and acquaintances in several widely distanced geographical areas to reach my goal, but there are still several issues that I would like to include that I have little or no representation from.

I would like to devote an entire chapter to the use of tandem currencies and another one to British-related currencies.

Guernsey pounds and shillings would be great additions to the project, as well as the book. I would appreciate your assistance in finding someone who can provide samples in exchange for $US.

Thank you for your time – and have a great day.
