My Collection part 2 (Banknotes)

According to the Wikipedia, Notaphily is the study and collection of paper currency, and banknotes. A notaphilist is a collector of banknotes, paper money, or plastic notes.
Banknotes were made for expenses. Banknotes or paper bills were first invented in China long time ago, and it was use all over the world. Many people around the world are collecting banknotes for some  reason. Others want to invest and others want to preserve. Here I have many banknotes collecting all over the world. I bought these in the city. There are many banknote vendors scattered in the Oldest street in Cebu, Colon Street. 



I've heard this banknote auctions but these vendors are different from them. They don't have a banknote store, they are just these people who repair watches and as a sideline they buy and sell banknotes, coins and old watches. They also sell it at an affordable price depending on its rarity or value. I met a woman who sell banknotes and coins at the side of a Retail Store. She has a bunch of banknotes and coins. I bought many of her collection. Mostly she collected foreign notes because she said her suppliers were foreigners (very 'sosyal'). She price the banknotes for 20-50 PhP each depending on its value and rarity. Sometimes it's pricey when I chose those banknotes that looks like uncirculated (UNC) but it is not in circulation anymore.
