Colorful currencies make great gifts for collectors of any level!

Show your imagination this holiday season with an exotic gift of international currency. These banknotes tell fascinating stories of people, places, and events across the globe, and many are excellent pieces of art in themselves.

The Great American Coin Company® offers a wide selection of international currencies, including:

  • Afghanistan Afghani Banknotes
  • Chinese Yuan
  • Indonesian Rupiah
  • Nigerian Naira
  • Russian Rubles
  • Vietnamese Dong
  • Zimbabwean Banknotes

Use them as conversation pieces to start stories of adventure, history, or special journeys made by you or your loved ones. Choose a hyperinflated currency like Zimbabwe dollars or Indonesian rupiah to tell someone they’re worth a million—or a trillion—to you.

A selection of uncirculated banknotes from around the world are a fun way to get youngsters interested in history and geography. Besides, what kid doesn’t love getting money? Even if it won’t spend, it’s still cool. Or use them as unique items of décor. They’re available in sets of 25 or 100 notes.

Many U.S. banknotes tell interesting stories, too. Special bills were issued during World War II that could be invalidated if they fell into enemy hands. Some are becoming quite collectible, too. Gold and Silver Certificates harken back to the time that our money was backed by precious metals. Others, like the 1899 $5 Indian Chief Silver Certificate, not only tell stories, but can be worth thousands of dollars to collectors.

Most of our high-denomination banknotes are sold as novelty or collectible items only with no intrinsic value. Their prices are based solely on market supply and demand, and as such can vary. Others, such as Chinese yuan, are active currencies with monetary value.

Don’t wait to get your holiday order in. Our inventory is constantly changing, and some items sell out quickly, so be sure to check back often. And whether you’re looking for a unique way to express your feelings, are a collector, or are an investor, be sure to browse the huge selection of U.S. and foreign coins and banknotes available online from The Great American Coin Company®.
