VARIOUS INFORMATION: |
|
IN APRIL 2011 IT WILL BE THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION OF THE (APRIL) PaperMoneyFair - Maastricht. To commemorate that fact there will be issued some series of postage stamps by the postal authorities of Surinam, Netherlands Antilles and Aruba. Sorry, not the Netherlands. These are to be issued in the first months of 2011, I expect in April 2011. The Surinam series of 12 stamps is already printed and being showed below... It is showing banknotes (what else?) being 11x various world banknotes : Malaysia, Tuvalu, Nepal, Samoa, Oman, French Polynesia, Gibraltar, Bhutan, Tonga, Argentina and Iceland... 5 more notes depicted between the 2 series of 12 stamps... AND a Surinam postage stamp issued many years ago, that stamp is depicting a Surinam banknote. A very original idea of the designer(s) text continued under the picture of the stamps...  The designs for Netherlands Antilles and Aruba are not yet finished, but will be published here later, as soon as I get the pictures. You do not need to travel to Surinam, Netherlands Antilles and Aruba to buy them right there at the Post Office counter... (However these ARE nice holiday destinations !!) These stamps will be offered for sale also during the next April 2011 PaperMoneyFair - Maastricht, as a souvenir of the event or as a start of a new collection of postage stamps depicting banknotes maybe ??. For your info: There are only about 180 different stamps issued (worldwide !) since 1952 (older ones do not exist) which also do depict banknotes... Makes an interesting collection, but these are not not easy to find... By this issue we might attract stamp collectors to our hobby too.. don't you think? Questions? Contact me. I am thinking about something special for the 25th Anniversary bourse... Some suggestions were already received. Do you have any?? Feel free to contact me. WHY THIS NEW WEB SITE ? Due to a mis-communication between the previous web master who took care of the previous website "papermoney-maastricht.org" and irritation as a result of that the web site has not been updated for a (too) long time, forcing me to have this one made as a replacement. The old site still has the old dates for April 2008 listed and must have confused many of you out there. Many of you may have decided not to travel since the impression was there, that there was no longer an event like in previous years. Lacking a new date. So you may have missed a one or more editions of PaperMoneyFair - Maastricht as a result of that. I am sorry about that.. I am sorry about that in more than just one way! And still does confuse many when this web site is not found. Please tell your collector friends and dealers about this change. Thanks. I hope that those who stayed away because of this problem will decide to come again... We all hope to see you too! OTHER NEWS: Since last April the Polfermolen has wireless LAN/ADSL accessable for participants! Just ask for details... |
