The first Standard Catalog of World Paper Money was produced in 1975. This catalog provided collectors like me, with listings and valuations of all known and recorded government note issues. Finally, the World Currency Collector had a guide on which to establish fair market value. This comprehensive catalog has created a collection frenzy.
Foreign currency collecting has been really increasing ever since. With the middle class growing and wealth increasing in many countries, especially in China, the hobby has truly taken off. These foreign notes display the multi-cultural as well as the financial and social history from the era and nation in which it was produced. As you will notice on the treasuredstocks.com web site, foreign notes are full of vibrate colors and creative, magnificently crafted vignettes.
Fortunately, expert grading services through PMG (Paper Money Guaranty), provide collectors with a value-enhanced product. PMG grades currency from all over the world!
