As the heading goes, this site is dedicated to Hybrid banknotes only. This is a very specialised area of collections and in general, Hybrid banknotes are usually printed on high denominations or the top end of currency of a country. However despite saying this, there are few exceptions where Hybrid banknotes are printed on an entire series. I believe there are less than 300 pieces of Hybrid banknotes issued so far (including reprints), and apart from one or two pieces, the rest are still obtainable to collectors.

    Hi paperbanknotes,
    The reverse design of this banknote reminds us of the movie, 'Hatari'.
    Nice banknote, what's more with a small number of '250'.
    Congratulations :)

    Hi WhyCollect

    The low serial number is nothing special and most of the low s/n notes were sold to dealers around the world, including the first bundle, I believe.

    Hi CollectionBD

    This note is laminated with two thin layer of polymer sheets, front and back, so thin that you won't even notice it. I have placed a link/brief history of Hybrid notes on the right hand side of my site. Click on it and read all about it, Cheers
