ChatGPT: Cheapest banknotes (obsolete money)

[Someone_else]

I would like to buy obsolete banknotes for fun and games. The country and denominations are open. The notes would ideally be uncirculated, but some wear is acceptable. I do not want to pay more than $20 for one thousand (two cents each).

Where is the best place to buy these notes?

Buying obsolete banknotes for fun and games can be an exciting hobby! Here are some suggestions on where you can find such banknotes within your budget:

1. Online Marketplaces: Websites like eBay, Etsy, and delcampe.net often have a wide selection of obsolete banknotes available for purchase. You can search for specific countries and denominations to find notes that fit your criteria. Make sure to check the seller's ratings and reviews before making a purchase.

2. Local Coin Shops: Some coin shops may carry a variety of banknotes, including obsolete ones. You can visit these shops in person to see if they have any banknotes that interest you. You may also have the opportunity to inspect the notes for their condition before making a purchase.

3. Coin Shows and Expos: Attending coin shows and expos in your area can be a great way to find obsolete banknotes for sale. You can explore different vendors and dealers to see what they have to offer. Additionally, you may find unique or rare banknotes at these events.

4. Online Forums and Communities: Joining online forums and communities dedicated to banknote collecting can also be a good way to find obsolete banknotes for sale. Members often buy, sell, and trade banknotes within the community, and you may be able to find notes that fit your budget and preferences.

Considering your budget of $20 for one thousand banknotes (two cents each), you may need to focus on lower denomination notes or notes from less common countries to stay within your price range. Keep in mind that the condition of the banknotes may vary, and finding uncirculated notes at this price point may be challenging. Checking for wear on the notes is acceptable, as long as it does not significantly affect their appearance or value for your purposes of fun and games.

When I was a kid Japanese occupation notes from various countries were plentiful from a few companies that supplied educational material to school kids. They were also available as novelties from a couple of coin dealers back when that hobby was very popular.

You can surf ebay, but think you need to adjust your budget.

I am thinking about notes printed during hyper-inflation periods and the people would sell old notes for pennies just to get rid of them. An exporter could package them wholesale. When our city got its first ATM, they had a demo in the lobby and it would dispense Brazilian Cruziero notes when people played with it.

I have asked on the forums two or three times over the last couple decades with no good results. I was hoping our hero here would give some useful information, but... nope. And no, I will not adjust my budget. But thanks for the reply.
