World Banknotes

To World banknote collectors, we offer a wide selection of banknotes from all around the world. From Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, you’ll find banknotes from almost every corner of the world.

The origins of paper currency date back to 7th Century China during the Tang dynasty. However, true paper money wouldn’t appear until the 11th century. In Europe, the concept of paper money was first introduced by explorers like Marco Polo. As for the production of banknotes in European soil, it was only in 1661 that Sweden issued the first.

Those we don’t have in stock right now, but we have plenty of other equally interesting World Banknotes. On this page, you’ll find them organised by country and by area, as well as some world banknote sets and world banknote collections.

Buy World Banknotes Online with Coincraft

Unlike many companies selling banknotes online, we actually own the stock presented on the product pages. So you won’t receive the usual ‘sourced to order’ message from us. What also differentiates us from other online banknote dealers is that we do not sell anything as an investment. We value your online security, and that is why we comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards, allowing you to pay safely using Paypal, Visa, and Mastercard.

Sets of Uncirculated notes from different countries

Recently an old dealer friend got in touch. He has been in semi-retirement for several years but the pandemic meant he had time on his hands and, as he put it, he started sorting old stock he had forgotten about. Amongst other things, he offered us brand new sets of 50 (£49.50), 100 (£120.00), and 150 (£275.00) different Uncirculated notes all from different countries, and it is fantastic! All are, of course, Uncirculated. We have to admit it would be very difficult for anyone else to put it together today without increasing the price significantly. A wonderful way to turbocharge your country collection.
