etherlands & World – 750+ Advertising, School, Play & Test Money Items – 4 Albums An extensive collection of advertising money, school money, play money, test and demonstration notes, fantasy issues and related collectables, presented in four albums. The collection comprises at least 750 pieces according to the seller’s count, including repeated examples and pieces within sets. Particular highlights include older advertising and political pieces, together with specialist test and demonstration notes. These better collecting items add considerable interest to the collection, alongside the broad selection of school money, promotional material and modern play money. The emphasis is strongly Dutch, with a wide variety of guilder-inspired designs alongside euro-themed material and pieces based on other currencies, including US dollars, British pounds, German marks and French francs. TEST AND DEMONSTRATION NOTES Examples bearing the De La Rue name and “TESTGELD” inscription, with denominations of 10, 25, 50, 100, 250 and 1000. Also represented are notes bearing “Philips Financial Terminal Systems” and “SPECIMEN”, Olivetti Nederland notes inscribed “DEMONSTRATIE-BILJET”, and NCR-branded examples denominated in euros. These specialist test and demonstration designs form a particularly interesting section within the collection. OLDER ADVERTISING AND POLITICAL PIECES An Algemeen Democratische Unie campaign piece names A. van Gent and displays a 50,000-guilder denomination. Another piece combines a German 50,000-mark banknote design bearing the printed date 19 November 1922 with a Dutch NVV message referring to the inflation of 1923 and campaigning against high prices. An insurance advertising piece bearing the name De Onderlinge Levensverzekering Maatschappij “’s-Gravenhage” displays a denomination of one million guilders and the printed year 1956. These are notable examples of the older and historically interesting material included. Printed dates are described as they appear on the pieces and do not establish their actual production dates.
