I think this one would fit better under W - West African States.

The reason why they wouldn't accept it might be because it's from the old series. They changed in 2003.

Yeah, you're right. I wasn't sure whether to post it then, but since it's traceable to a single member nation (Senegal) by the letter, I thought I'd post it here.

And the moneychangers I went to all said some variation of "Sorry, we don't do this currency", like they'd never even heard of the CFA Franc before. What barbarians!

Another country I have old notes from!

1925 (1936) Spain 1000 Pesetas
Printed by the Republican (Loyalists) in 1936, with a 1925 date, at the beginning of the Spanish Civil War.

1926 Spain 25 Pesetas

1927 (1931) Spain 50 Pesetas
Not very visible but there is a purple stamp over Alfonso XIII's portrait that says "REPÚBLICA ESPAÑOLA", dating from 1931, when the King abdicated in favour of a Republic peacefully.

1936 Spain (Dénia) 1, 2 Pesetas (Unissued Civil War type)
Dénia is a community on the Mediterranean coast of Spain, on the Republican side of the Spanish Civil War when these notes were printed in 1936, but ultimately they were never issued (hence the lack of serial numbers in the upper left).

1936 Spain (Nationalists) 100 Pesetas (Burgos Issue)
During the Spanish Civil War, the Nationalists had their provisional capital in the city of Burgos, north of besieged Madrid. Thus all nationalist issues 1936-39 have Burgos on them as place of issue. This note was actually printed in Germany, who supported the Nationalists in the Civil War.

1937-38 Spain (Republicans) 50 centavos, 1, 2 Pesetas
The Republican side continued to print and use banknotes with pre-war designs from as far back as 1925 (see the first note I posted), but they issued these small denomination notes in 1937 and 1938.

1938 Spain (Nationalists) 1 Peseta (Burgos Issue)
Printed in Milan, Italy; Mussolini's regime also supported the Nationalists in the Civil War.

1938 Spain (Nationalists) 100 Pesetas (Burgos Issue)
By 1938 the war had swung in the Nationalists' favour, with the Basque Country in the north falling to them and their armies crossing the Ebro into Loyalist Catalonia, and Madrid still under siege. The next year, Franco would enter Barcelona triumphantly, and the last Republicans would flee into France, with a last stand at the harbour of Alicante. This note was also printed in Germany.

Hey Keith,

Thanks, if there's one thing I love more than my collection it's the historical background behind the creation of each item. Some truly fascinating stories to be found in a country as colourful and as diverse in history like Spain, particularly!

I agree. There's normally a good reason why a particular item is chosen to be on a note (excluding heads of state). Often they are historical figures that have played a part in the county's formation.
One of my favourites is Laskarina Bouboulina on the rear of the Greek 50 Drachmai note (P199), but there are many others.

Is it my turn now?

1 Krona
1920 – This note is commonly known as "The Cow Ten". The name derives from the early 1900's when people were buying and selling cows at the market. A cow could cost around 50 kronor, but since the 10 kronor notes had the same size as the 1 krona note, but with just a slightly difference in colour, people often switched a few 10's for the 1's, so instead of paying the whole sum of 50, they only payed around half the price. Hence the name "Cow Ten".
