Customer Reviews

standard catolog of world paper money
A complete waste of money. Lots of the countries have not been updated for years. Errors have not been corrected. Print quality is very poor, my copy is very light. It needs a massive shake up, or it's reputation will decline even further.

Reference suitable for serious collectors only
The `Standard Catalog...' series of books are comprehensive in their listing and presentation of world coins/paper money; I can see how these volumes are invaluable to collectors. I am not a collector however and purchased the volumes on paper money simply to admire the artistry put into their creation. I was greatly disappointed (given my purpose) as the paper is of telephone book quality and all coin/note images inside are small, black & white and grany (the only colour printing is on the cover). Even as a reference for collectors, the presentation quality could be much better. For a beautifully illustrated guide to world coinage, I would instead recommend `The World Encyclopedia of Coins and Coin Collecting' by James Mackay.

There is no doubt. This is the best.
This is the one and only catalog to list all the modern bank notes. Though Mr. Pick changes the catalog numbers of a few countries, it is still the best.
