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

Northern Ireland, Northern Bank - 5 Pounds Y2K Prefix Polymer Dated 2000 Folder Issue

Five Pounds, Dated 1.1.2000 Folder Radar Note #10101


Reverse


Folder


This is one of my favorite polymer notes. This note was issued to commemorate the millennium year (Y2K) and with binary digits of 10101, thus making this note so unique. I suppose the other unique note would be 01010 too. 50,000 pieces issued with prefix Y2K. The best part is that I didn’t ask for this serial number note and I only paid the official issue price for £7.50. Talk about luck!

Northern Ireland, Northern Bank - 5 Pounds Polymer Dated 1999 Millennium Commemorative Specimen

Five Pounds, Dated 8.10.1999 Specimen
Judging by the control number, one would have to say that more than 1000+ specimens were printed and yet they are so expensive to buy! I have seen this note with control number of #2 and #3 and I have also sighted the one with #1000 in VF condition. You may ask, despite there are so many printed and yet it’s so expensive to get one. It appears that majority of these specimen notes were hoarded by senior management staff of the bank. Obviously not that many were released to collectors and as such the current high price demanded. If you can find one and you think you can afford it, then make yourselves happy. If not, don’t loose any sleep over this.
