1. DISCLAIMER: This is a non-commercial
website published by an individual. We neither buy or sell
banknotes or offer paid advertisements. See our
Collector and
Dealer Free Ads section for possible sources of
banknotes you might be seeking or selling. If you don't
find what you are looking for, let us know and we may have
some idea of where to look.
This display of banknotes is for educational, hobby and
informational purposes and as such, no recognition or
support for any group is implied or intended. This site is
not affiliated with the United Nations or any other
political organization. It is our choice as to
which banknotes are displayed and we welcome suggestions
and comments from visitors. Our long term goal is to
have all banknotes from every issuing authority listed on
this site.
We have recently been made aware of the
political implications of displaying banknotes from
certain entities and we will
carefully consider this
policy. We welcome comments on any banknotes displayed.
We make
no representation as to the accuracy, appropriateness or completeness of the
information or images presented nor do we make any claim
of warranty or fitness for use of the website for any
purpose.
2. FAIR USE:
Images such as the country flag and others may be
copyrighted by its holder. As well, it is known that the
representation of certain such symbols is either
copyrighted by the holder of the symbol, or is available
under a free license. There may also be other restrictions
on reproduction, including but not limited to
article 6ter of the Paris Convention. It is
believed that the use of low-resolution images of such
symbols to support the illustration of the country
qualifies as
fair use under
United States copyright law.
