Newman Portal Adds Banknote Stories, by Anil Bohora

The latest installment in Anil Bohora’s ongoing series on world paper money, Banknote Stories, is now available on Newman Portal. Bohora writes in the introduction: “Every banknote tells a story. There is visual interplay between the various elements on the banknotes. In this way, a banknote resembles a well-rounded story that includes a fascinating plot and characters…In this book some of the topics I have covered include banknotes reflecting the impact of hyperinflation, banknotes with hidden messages and secrets, banknotes with a difference, different materials used to make banknotes, banknotes telling us war stories, banknotes as works of art, etc.”


This is Bohora’s 11th contribution to Newman Portal, with previous works focused on Indian scrip, fiscal paper, world banknotes, and short snorters.
