My coin and Banknotes Collection

The largest value banknotes in the world: 1. Singapore Dollar 10,000 Singapore has held the world record for largest value of a single banknote. It is worth around USD7,726 during this day Sept 18th 2019.  Presumably, for similar reasons, the Singapore Monetary Authority has announced plans to phase these high-value banknotes out 2. Brunei 10,000 Dollars The Brunei dollar is issued and controlled by the Monetary Authority of Brunei Darussalam, and therefore totally under control of the oil-rich microstate. It is worth around USD7,460 at the moment. 2.  1,000 SWISS FRANCS (CHF) Switzerland has bucked the western trend of eliminating high-value banknotes by maintaining its 1,000 franc note. Best of all, the Swiss government has indicated the purple note as here to stay. It is worth around USD1,004. So it is almost the same value as the USD. So that wraps it for today the Top 3- Largest value banknotes in the world. Happy Collecting and keep up the good work! via  htt

The Flowing Hair Dollar 1794 Obverse Reverse Throughout its history, the 1794 dollar has widely been considered one of the rarest and most valuable of all United States coins. In a September 1880 issue of The Coin Journal, the author noted that a good quality specimen of the 1794 dollar was valued at fifty dollars. In the early 1990s, numismatic historian Jack Collins estimated the surviving number of the coins to be between 120 and 130.
