A couple of weeks ago when I was looking (unsuccessfully) for an old vaccination card, I came across a couple of the $10 commemorative banknotes that were released here in NZ for the new millenium.
Among the coins and banknotes you've kept as souvenirs, are there any which commemorate special events?

Reply to this Hi Jo,
We have a small collection of coins and bills from around the world and we recently gave them to our nephew who loves to match the coins to the countries in the atlas. A future traveler in the making!
Reply to this Great thread Jo!
I always try to save one set of coins produced by the countries I visit. The only commemorative currency I have is an Israeli 50 Agorot coin commemorating David Ben-Gurion. Along the way, I've also inexplicably managed to pick up 1,2 and 10 pence coins minted for the Ascension Islands.

I remember the first time I went to Mexico ( years ago) and for $1 you got about 10,000 pesos. It was crazy. I felt like I was playing Monopoly all week. So many countries really have beautiful coins and bills.
Reply to this These are not commemorative as such, but interesting nevertheless. I was having a conversation about this thread with my wife when she disappeared and came back with the notes you see below.
Life is full of surprises 😊
