Xavier? Propaganda notes? [solved]

Will we accept them into the catalog? If so, list them under the note the look like, or the nation that made them?

For example: the US made propaganda notes based on North Vietnamese notes.
If we accept these they should be under US.
They are highly collectable...and kinda a banknote...
perhaps accept them like we do other fantasy notes in exonumia?

Hello,
I understand your question is about propaganda flyers imitating banknotes. For me they are not banknotes, so I would prefer not accepting them for the moment. Let's focus on real banknotes.

While propaganda notes are not a real currency, even if they often have one side of the note which copies real currency, they are certainly exonumia and should, in my opinion, have a category under "Paper Exonumia". There are many examples, issued by many countries, over the years. Some examples are actually listed in the Standard Catalog of World Paper Money. Are there other collectors on Numista interested?

Hello,
Now that we have an Exonumia section, I believe this idea is worth reconsidering. Let me reopen this ticket. I'm interested to know what other banknote, exonumia and/or propaganda note collectors think.

Here is a interesting article about the Propaganda/over print Iraq banknotes during the Gulf war and to the mid 2000s.

I think that those notes should be added to the Exonumia catalogue .

The psywarrior website is a fantastic source of information. Here is another site with great info on propaganda notes, see the
articles entitled "The Use of Bank Notes as an Instrument of Propaganda - Part I and Part II" by John E. Sandrock. Both are available to download in pdf format.

For those interested, I've submitted eight different propaganda notes for the catalog under the category:
Exonumia/Unclassified Exonumia/Miscellaneous Paper Exomumia

They will appear in the catalog once they are validated. Perhaps, if more examples get incorporated, they could be moved to their own category in the future.

If added, they should be under Exonumia --> Propaganda.

I have most of those propaganda leaflets, I uploaded one of them some time ago (now under Fantasy Banknotes > Iraq). I should upload the rest, I've been so busy this year I haven't added many things I have that aren't on Numista lately.

Is there a Propaganda section under Exonumia now? If so that's obviously where such things should go.

There is not yet a propaganda section, but if more notes are added it would help justify its own section. Currently, they are at least temporarily being placed in this section: Exonumia/Unclassified Exonumia/Miscellaneous Paper Exomumia.

While they are not "real banknotes" they are, in my opinion, more than a fantasy note created just for collectors. The propaganda notes were created for the specific purpose to influence public opinion. Examples obviously were used during war time, but many other examples also exist for political influence.

I'd be happy to see more propaganda notes added to the Numista catalog.

Promotional items

I have created pages for some of my propaganda leaflets since I had some spare time.

However, I have been asking myself: what rule are we following with country listing for leaflets? For the most part I have listed them under United States when I have documentation that they are US printed, but some are not US printed, and some represent the multinational Joint Forces. One was printed in two versions, one by Saudi Arabia and another by Turkey, with minor but distinguishable differences; should this be two different pages, or one? For ones I am uncertain on how to list I have them under Iraq.

There are a fair number of propaganda leaflets listed now, from other wars as well. Hopefully this contributes to the creation of a category for propaganda items.

I found a double listing of the propaganda notes. One is listed under Iraq and the other under USA. Both has the same picture:

Numerous different leaflets have the reproduction Iraq 25 dinar obverse; the two you link have different reverses with different text.

​Theb it's only the obverse that's the same. It has the same serial number and everything.
