paper. One must hold the notes with clean hands, to prevent transfer of oil or
any dirt onto the paper. Food and beverages must be kept away to avoid spilling

issued in a limited quantity. The scarcity of these numismatic collectibles
leads to ascend the price of these coins and notes. Collecting old coins and
notes have become today a unique and an interesting plus profiteering hobby.
