New US Dollars $100 Banknote

NEW US $100 Dollars Banknotes

The Federal Reserve is making it rain new hundred dollar bills on October 8, 2013. They're more colorful, more secure, and easier to authenticate, but harder to replicate. Here's everything that's changed.

Most of the benjamins you see today were designed way back in 1996. Sounds pretty old, right? An overhauled hundo was supposed to enter into circulation in February of 2011, but production was shut down a few months prior because of a manufacturing flaw that revealed a blank space in the note when a crease formed. But the latest batch of seems to be a big improvement.

If you were contemplating going into the counterfeiting business, you'll be talked out of it by the time you see how the Treasury Department has booby-trapped this bill. It looks nearly impossible to duplicate.

Australia 1st Banknote sold for $3.5Millions

Australia 1st Banknote

Australia first banknote is set to go on sale for $3.5 million by Coinworks in a private sale. The 10-shilling note issued in 1 May 1913 is the first banknote of the Commonwealth of Australia with a Serial Number M000001. The unique note will be exhibited in the Hall of Honour at the World Stamp Expo in Melbourne from May 10 to 15. The note is being sold through Coinworks in Melbourne on behalf of administrators McGrathNicol.

The note displayed the Commonwealth Coat of Arms and a scene of the Goulburn Weir, Victoria on the reverse. Built between 1887 and 1891, the Goulburn Weir was an advanced structure for its time, and an important component in Australia's irrigation scheme.

On 1st May, 1913 a numbering ceremony was held at the King's Warehouse, Victoria, when Judith Denman, the infant daughter of the Governor-General Lord Denman, numbered the first Australian currency note with the serial number M 000001. The Number One Note was hand numbered by the Governor General’s five year old daughter Judith Denman. The note was subsequently presented to her by Prime Minister Andrew Fisher. Lord Denman resigned his position as Governor General in 1914 and the family returned to England. The Honourable Anne Judith Denman died in 1987.

Her effects were being sorted in 1999 and note M000001 turned up in a letter file housed in a contemporary Government House envelope marked in pencil “Judith’s 10/- Note May 1at 1913”. The Number One Note is offered with the accompanying historical envelope.

A private collector in Sydney subsequently purchased the note for $1 million in 2000. It was then sold in 2008 to a private note dealer for almost $2 million, the highest paid for an Australian note or coin. It is believed that only about 20 of the 10-shillings notes remain in circulation.

Award winning craftsman Anton Gerner has been commissioned by Coinworks to produce a presentation box for the note. The note will be protected by glass in a frame that can easily be removed from a magnificent hand crafted Tasmanian wood presentation box.

Saturday 11 May has been declared ‘Number One Note’ Day. At 3pm on that day Australia Post will launch an official release of the ‘First Australian Banknote’ Stamp honouring the Number One Note.

New Bank Of England 10 Pounds Banknote

New Great Britain 10 Pounds Banknotes

On 24 July 2013, Bank of England Governor, Mark Carney, confirmed that Jane Austen will be feature on the next £10 note. The Jane Austen £10 banknote will be replacing Charles Darwin £10 banknote most probably in 2017. The portrait of the Pride and Prejudice author is adapted from a sketch drawn by her sister Cassandra Austen.

The Governor said: “Jane Austen certainly merits a place in the select group of historical

figures to appear on our banknotes. Her novels have an enduring and universal appeal and she is recognised as one of the greatest writers in English literature. As Austen joins Adam Smith, Boulton and Watt, and in future, Churchill, our notes will celebrate a diverse range of individuals who have contributed in a wide range of fields.”

Features of the design on the reverse of the Jane Austen note will include:

• The quote – “I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading!” from Pride and Prejudice (Miss Bingley, Chapter XI).
• Portrait of Jane Austen. Commissioned by James Edward Austen Leigh (Jane Austen’s nephew) in 1870, adapted from an original sketch of Jane Austen drawn by her sister, Cassandra Austen.
• An illustration of Miss Elizabeth Bennet undertaking “The examination of all the letters which Jane had written to her”– from a drawing by Isabel Bishop (1902-1988).
• The image of Godmersham Park. Godmersham was home of Edward Austen Knight, Jane Austen's brother. Jane Austen visited the house often and it is believed that it was the inspiration for a number of her novels.
• Jane Austen’s writing table – the central design in the background is inspired by the 12 sided writing table, and writing quills, used by Jane Austen at Chawton Cottage.​

Guernsey to commemorate Thomas De La Rue with £1 note

A limited edition £1 note is to be issued in Guernsey to commemorate entrepreneur Thomas De La Rue.

The 200th anniversary of the printer's first commercial venture will be marked on Thursday with the issue of 300,000 notes featuring his portrait.

De La Rue, then aged 20, launched the French language newspaper Le Miroir Politique in Guernsey in 1813.

In 1830, he founded the De La Rue Company in London, which printed money, stamps and playing cards.

The company is now based in Basingstoke and provides banknotes and security printing for several countries.

It reported revenues of £484m in the 12 months to 31 March.

The new note will feature the prefix TDLR and will be the first to show the signature of new States Treasurer Bethan Haines.

They will be circulated alongside the existing £1 notes, which feature former Bailiff Daniel De Lisle Brock.

In 1963, during the 150th anniversary, a bust of Thomas De La Rue was unveiled at the St Peter Port site where he founded his first business.

The site has been a pub, named after the entrepreneur, since 1971.
