Heritage's upcoming Signature Currency Auction, being held June 17-19 in conjunction with the Memphis International Paper Money Show, will feature a large selection of world notes. 
Eighty one countries will be represented by the 226 lots being offered during Session One of the Signature portion of the auction. That session will be held beginning at 6:00 PM CT on Thursday, June 17, 2010. Another 199 lots of world material will be offered during Session Four, the Non-Floor Session that will be held on Monday, June 21 beginning at 12:00 PM CT. Collectors are drawn to world paper money for a number of reasons; including the history they represent, artistry, color, and either their affordability or scarcity in many cases. The American Bank Note Company printed notes for many other countries and those notes are avidly collected due to the beauty of the engravings. Additionally, some collectors choose to pursue material from countries based on their family heritage. Among the many exciting offerings in the upcoming Memphis auction are rare notes from Australia (lots 12006 and 12010), the Republic of Hawaii (lot 12141), India (lots 12154 and 12155), Palestine (lot 12183), Pu! erto Rico (lot 12200), and the Russian-American Company (lot 12205). 
In addition, Session One also contains 74 lots of Canadian notes beginning with a piece of Playing Card Money from New France (lot 12227) and featuring a PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ English Text BC-19 $1000 1935 (lot 12253) and a Bank of Nova Scotia $100 1929 (lot 12276).
