Its interesting to read how Chatgpt characterize and summarized my banknote collection. Rather than getting the whole set, i always scout and filter countries that has the biggest complicated regional conflicts, monetary collapse, fragmented circulation and yes uncontrollable absurd chaotic hyperinflation crisis. Few are so chaotic and unbearable until i cant find the exact markers such as Sudan or Vietnam as they kept revising their monetary systems. Afghanistan, Somalia, Libya, Zimbabwe, Zaire, Lebanon, Iraq and Yemen. Not to forget the quasi/breakaway states. Rather than getting the most rare, pristine, unique numbers or getting the PMG slabs, i hunted symbolic banknote that carries a strong narrative. Less is more here. As adding new notes can break or solidify a chapter. We can observe alot when things breaking apart. So rather than getting a predictable nice boring sleepy Straits Settlement issues, might as well i get those colorful and explosive ones....
