view all my other world banknotes alphabetically

| a | b | c | d | e | f | g | h | i | j | k | l | m | n | o | p | q | r | s | t | u | v | w | x | y | z |

Asia here is only referred to Southern Asia and the rest of Western (Middle East) and Central Asia. I have separated SouthEast Asia and East Asia with different links here.


many of the banknotes posted here do not need descriptions. the designs are beautiful enough for me to add any more details - a picture is worth a thousand words

"no borrowed scans here nor i cut and pasted from other web sites. all notes displaying here are mine"


...Cyprus - 2003 to 2005 Prints

These are a few notes that I got back in September 2012. Cyprus joint European Union on 01.05.2004. Despite Cyprus being a member of the EU, I have posted their banknotes here under the Asian banknotes site due to its geographic location, just like Turkey and Georgia.

These are the last notes circulating in Cyprus before it switched over to the Euro currency. This series was first released in 1997. I was lucky as I paid almost the exchange rate in getting these notes.
