Collectibles from my Friends (Part 2)

Most of my collections were coming from my friends. Actually I bought it from them. Most of the items that I have bought were foreign moneys. My friends told me to collect more on Philippine Money, but I told myself that it's kinda boring to collect local money because not every year the Central Bank will declare new designs of banknotes. And I got interested collecting foreign moneys. One of my family members work abroad. it is also an advantage to ask from them some money from different countries they have landed. But sometimes I am not contented. So I surf the internet looking for banknote dealers whose selling Thailand Baht and then I  found these:



King Rama IX of Thailand
20 Baht
50 Baht
100 Baht

 The reigning Monarch of Thailand,
King Rama IX

Thailand Baht Banknotes (Reverse)
20 Baht
50 Baht
100 Baht


I was inspired to collect Banknotes from Thailand because I like their culture (but some). Thailand was called as the "Land of Smiles". 

Last summer, I wasn't expecting that someone gave me Banknotes. My mom's closest friend who work in Indonesia went to our house to give me the banknotes. I said to myself how did my mom's friend knew about my collection, ans it was mom told her friend about my money collection. I was mesmerized when my mom's friend handed me banknotes from Indonesia,  and a banknote from Singapore.

I was looking for Queen Elizabeth II banknotes for sale in the internet but unluckily it's kinda pricey. But not only those fancy notes. I was also looking for a set of South Korean Wons but luckily I only found 1 denomination of Banknote of South Kor, the lowest denomination. I bought it from my friend in Manila. Supposedly I was buying his Plastic Sleeve for banknotes , and as a sideline, he was selling some of his collection and I bought the 1000 Korean Won.
