If you are a collector and you would like to collect Hybrid banknotes, this is one area you can still collect them in full set. The lowest face value of a Hybrid note issued was the Bermuda 2009 B$2 (USD2), and the most expensive note ever issued was the Latvia 500 Lati 2008 note (approxi. USD958). However most Hybrid notes released are high value notes. Todate, less than 30 pieces of Hybrid notes have been issued, and Bermuda is the only nation have a complete set from B$2 to B$100. If you know any new Hybrid notes issued, please feel free to let me know. Good luck and don't forget to enjoy this wonderful, exciting and not to mention stressful hobby.

Finally, as I have provided some brief description on each note, I have not mentioned about the quantity released nor if there were any premium on notes issued (if any). As far as I know, only the PNG 2009 set (20 paper and 100 Kina) were issued in a presentation folder with a premium. The rest were released at face value for general circulation. Please let me know if this is not correct.

News/Comments Update 19/05/2009

It is interesting to note that there are now four countries in the Pacific region that have issued Hybrid Banknotes. The last one was Papua New Guinea (100 Kina 2009). In addition to this, it also released a 20 Kina in paper. I find this surprising especially PNG has only recently converted fully to polymer banknotes. One would wonder if there is a changed in policy to revert back to say a mixture of paper and polymer banknotes, like some other countries. Papua New Guinea and Samoa are the only two countries that have a mixture of Polymer, Paper and Hybrid banknotes circulation side by side in the Pacific region. It is also interesting to see the remaining countries like Solomon Islands and Vanuatu would follow suite. It has been reported that Vanuatu will eventually convert all it's currency to polymer with the first polymer note of Vt10,000 (Commemorative) to be released sometime in Mid 2010. I also understand that Cook Islands has already phased out it’s own currency and fully accepting New Zealand currency instead.

This site was created on 2nd May 2009. The posting date listed is the date/year when the note was first issued. Those reference nos are my own but will try to follow Pick reference nos once it's available. I am not an expert on the topic of Hybrid banknotes nor I want to be one. The information posted on this site has not been thoroughly checked and as such may not be accurate.
