Total commemorative banknotes issued is under 1,500 pieces. If you have achieved any figures close to this, then you are doing extremely well, as many of the older commemorative notes are hard to find even in poor conditions.

Opinion: Many collectors of commemorative banknotes would have come across with those Somaliland sets overprinted with gold and silver texts with the following wordings - 5th Anniversary of Independence 18 May 1996 [Sanad Gurade 5ee Gobanimadda 18 May 1996]. I believe these are "home made" (or fake) and not authorised by the central bank. My argument is simple. No central bank would have issued an overprint commemorative banknote that the texts are so large that it would cover the two signatures on the note as well as part of the serial numbers. Even if these are genuine notes, then these could be issued as souvenir sheets and not as legal tender. As I said before, this is my opinion. If you have paid top dollars for these, please think about my argument. There is always a sucker around the corner, including me of course!

All comments are most welcome but it has to be subjects related to banknotes or banknotes collection. If not, it will not be approved. Thanks

Reverse The Cover
This 3-Uncut sheet together with the 45-Uncut sheet were released on 20.11.2007 with all proceeds donated to the Community Chest charity organization in Hong Kong. However due to overwhelming demand by the public and as well as enthusiastic collectors around the world, a second batch was released in January 2008 and all sold too. The issue price for the 3 and 45-Uncut sheets were HK$100 and HK$1800 each respectively.
This note was reported to be a Commemorative note issued to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the Return of Hong Kong back to China - 1.1.1997 to 1.1.2007.
