SPECIMEN BANKNOTE COLLECTION

The Specimen Banknote Collection showcases official sample notes issued by central banks for display, testing, or training purposes. These notes are usually marked with the word “SPECIMEN” and never released for circulation. Collecting specimen banknotes offers insight into design features, security elements, and printing techniques used in currency production. Though not meant for spending, they are prized by collectors for their educational and historical value, representing a behind-the-scenes look at the art of banknote creation.
