Is the foreign money in this Web site real?
We sell only genuine foreign money for collecting and educational purposes. Its authenticity is guaranteed, or your payment will be refunded fully if you are not entirely convinced.

What condition are these bills in?
All foreign money sold on this Web site is in crisp uncirculated condition (mint unused).

How much are these foreign bills worth?
They are worth retail price because they are crisp and uncirculated. Currency exchange rates are not relevant when the bills are collectible and in mint condition.

Is this like a currency exchange Web site?
The purpose of this Web site is not to exchange foreign currency, but to serve collectors, hobbyists and anyone interested in the beauty of foreign money itself. A currency exchange bureau handles foreign cash for spending, but it is not in crisp, clean condition. In order to collect currency notes and fully enjoy the colorful artwork on them, they must be crisp uncirculated.

What determines the value of collectible currency?
The value of collectible currency depends almost entirely on the condition it's in. Often, age, date and exchange rates do not mean much. Currency in perfect mint condition is always worth more to collectors. However, only trained and experienced numismatists are able to realistically estimate the actual value of collectible currency.

Can this foreign money be spent overseas?
In the majority of cases, not anymore. We offer only genuine bills from the past that have historical and numismatic value.

How long does it take for my order to arrive?
Orders are sent by First Class Mail (to US addresses), which takes about five (5) business days to arrive. For non-US addresses, please allow a minimum of 3-4 weeks for your order to arrive.

Why doesn't this Web site show any money from England, Switzerland or the European Union?
Due to fraud considerations, our credit card clearing house has recommended that bills from those regions not be offered on our Web site.

Why is there a limit of one per person or address on some items?
A limit has been set for reasons related to the question listed above.

My uncirculated bill has a dimple on the edge, next to the security strip. Is this a defect?
The security thread dimple is not a defect. It is a natural occurrence in most uncirculated money with a security strip. It usually shows up as a crescent-shaped dent at either or both ends of the strip. The dimple, which can range from a few millimeters long to almost three-quarters of an inch, does not reduce the collectible value of a crisp uncirculated bill.
