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

...Estonia - 10 Krooni 2008 Commemorative

Ten Krooni
Dated 2008, P90
Reverse

This is a commemorative note printed with a face value of 10 Krooni. This note was issued in 2008 celebrating the country's 90th Anniversary of the Republic of Estonia. This is rather a large note in today's standard, measuring approximately 80mm by 160mm. The front design of the note came from the 10 Krooni issued in 1928. The note is issued in a A4 size folder and the note is encased in a protective folder. The folder also includes a 1 Krooni uncirculated coin. A total 30,000 folders were released to the public at a price of 200 Krooni each. As Estonia has been part of the EU community since 1.5.2004, the country adopted the Euro currency from 01.01.2011.
