Request to split North Korea 5 Chon Capitalist Visitor entry into 3 separate types [решено]

Hi, 

I suggest splitting the following banknote into 3 separate entries due to significant eye-catching color/design differences:

5 Chon Capitalist Visitor N#209879

24a.1; Blue colour, Issue for Capitalist visitors

24a.2; Purple colour, Issued during the Pyongyang Cultural Festival in 1995

24a.3; Pink and yellow colour without printing over watermark area at right on front, Black serial number, Issued during the Arirang Festival in 2002/2003

Thank you!

Please make the creation requests and once they validated ping me here for moving collections

Hi,

I have split N#209879 into the following 3 entries:

N#209879 (minor updates were made, still pending approval)

N#356426 (new entry, still pending approval)

N#356427 (new entry, still pending approval)

Once validated, I will ping you here!

Thank you!

Again? Then these should be placed in Exonumia, since they are for the special events only.

Well, I strongly believe and I am sure most of collectors here on Numista will agree with me that any banknotes listed by Pick with at least “P” prefix in the catalog are NOT EXONUMIA items. Let us keep to this rule of thumb and not bring chaos to the catalog when some “P”-listed banknotes are moved sporadically to Exonumia section. Let us keep the things simple and logical. If a banknote is listed by Pick with an assigned “P” number - it is a banknote (standard, commemorative, local, error, specimen), it cannot be placed to Exonumia section.

Regards,

Alex

We have several banknotes with pick numbers in the Exonumia catalogue. Krause is not 100% correct. I would say they are 65% correct, at best.

Probably, but their approach is well-known to all collectors and it is internationally recognized, so searching for a banknote with “P” prefix in Banknotes and not finding it would be then a rather common case. And finding it in Exonumia will make the average collector wonder and make him/her bewildered and perplexed.

It soubds like you want to change the whole system of Numista. If you don't find the banknote in the banknote catalogue, you'll have to look in the exonumia catalogue. If you can't find it there either, then you can add it. This trail of searching seems to be too difficult for people now adays. Is it too much work with two different catalogues?

I thknk the Numista Team will have to think about this.

What are you trying to say? That website doesn't seperate banknotes from exonumia in the first place, so I don't know your point. Sorry!

The issuer of these notes are an officially recognised one backed by the North Korean regime.

They circulated as currency.

Well, I guess it depends on what you mean by “circulating”. Foreign certificates has been a separate branch of the regular won in North Korea, and are being handed out to foreigners, and they are only legal tender in some specific stores meant for foreigners (in these stores local residents are not allowed to shop). So one could say they are equal to local tokens. They did circulate in tve sense that foreigners got them at a specific exchange office, used them in specific stores, which vanded them back to the exchange offices to be used again. For a local resident these note were not worth anything, and they were not allowed to use them.

Nowadays isually the US Dollar, Chinese Yuan, and the Euro are being used in these stores.
