10 Pounds of Scotland

The Scots have a colorful (and tragic) history of fighting the domination of the English that ended, more or less, with the butchery that was the Battle of Culloden (16 April 1746), in which tired, hungry, and somewhat unenthusiastic Scotsmen armed with swords, at best, took on England's best, armed with bayonet-fixed firearms. So it was with some surprise that upon giving a 20 pound note with the likeness of the Queen on it to a cashier for my first purchase in Glasgow's Central train station (a local map book), the 10 pound note I got as change looked like this:

When the typical 10 pound note I see in London looks like this:

Julius Caesar

Gaius Julius Caesar (Roman military and political leader who played a critical role in the transformation of the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire) was the first to print his own bust on a Roman minted coin:

BTW. The Roman currency during most of the Roman Republic and the western half of the Roman Empire consisted of coins including the aureus (gold), the denarius (silver), the sestertius (bronze), the dupondius (bronze), and the as (copper). These were used from the middle of the third century BC until the middle of the third century A.D.

Happy or not? (Chinese version)

China command was always very strong on all Olympic games and we not sure that Chinese leader is happy or not for current medal counts (2 gold, 1 silver award and one bronze):


20 Chinese renminbi yuan (¥) banknote (CNY).

By the way, the distinction between yuan and renminbi is analogous to that between the pound and sterling. Renminbi (simplified Chinese: 人民币; traditional Chinese: 人民幣) translates as people's currency.

Olympic Games

How do you think athletes can be considered as collectors? Bowls on the shelf, golden and bronze medals hanging on the wall … yes! Definitely - yes. So, let’s watch on TV the XXI Olympic Winter Collectors Games, which starts today - on February 12–28, 2010, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, with some events held in the resort town of Whistler, British Columbia and in the Vancouver suburb of Richmond. The 2010 Winter Olympics will be the third Olympics hosted by Canada (1976 - Summer Olympics in Montreal, Quebec and the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, Alberta).

PS. of course, we get involved not only with the success of collectors actions and sport performances on this Games who use CollectionStudio for tracking their invaluable awards but with all other guys!… ;)

Coins or tokens for brothels

During archeological research in Pompeii a set of Roman tokens – spintria – was found, usually depicting sexual acts or symbols:


Spintriae from Pompeii

There were usually struck from brass or bronze, and were little smaller than a U.S. quarter. Spintriae may have been used to pay prostitute, who at times spoke a different language. While this is subject to argument, the numbers on them line up with known prices for Roman prostitutes. Some theorize them gaming tokens, and they may have been produced for only a short period, probably in the 1st century A.D.

Spintriae are a popular target of collecting and depending on the condition have a high auction price. Because of its relevance to the numismatic market, beware of huge modern forgery.

See more spintriae in details.

Features of slow matrix


Russian 2 rubles coin.

Defects (or the effect - it is really like to see) is called Rolling shutter due to the slow speed of reading from the matrix and the lack of closure. Occurs now only in mobiles. SLRs such masterpieces can not.

Photo was taken using Sony Ericsson k770i.
