What JF Bastok buys in Waterloo
Old banknotes from the 18th century up to the paper money that circulated before the euro: Belgian, French, European and worldwide notes, single or in collections.
What determines the value
A banknote is valued by country and issuing authority, face value, date, series, signatures and number, then by condition: a note that was never folded, with no pinholes or tears, is worth much more than one that circulated heavily.
