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

This is a set of 23 notes all in uncirculated condition issued between 1975 to 1996. This set, issued in a booklet format, titled Polish Circulation Banknotes Issued in 1975-1996 was released by the National Bank of Poland (Narodowy Bank Polski, NBP) to the public on 16.04.2015. The purpose of this issue was to celebrate the country's 20th Anniversary of the re-denomination of the old Zloty/Zlotych currency to the new Zloty at a conversion rate of 10,000 old Zloty to 1 new Zloty. The Polish word Zloty in English means Gold. The new Zloty currency was introduced on 1.1.1995. A total of 23,000 sets were issued at a price of 190 Zloty per set (approx. us$50+/-). This set of notes  comprises a unique collection of banknotes, which also includes the Great Poles series, with denominations ranging from 10 Zloty (P142) to 2,000,000 Zloty (P163). This is also an unique opportunity to get at least one note each issued during this period, which also includes the error note of 2,000,000 Zloty dated 14.08.1992 (P158a). The revised note (P158b) with the correct spelling for this denomination is also included in this set. Whilst this may be considered as a commemorative issue, the notes are not. According to the current catalogue, these notes have collector's value ranging from $1 to $250 each.
