Collection coverage

Amit’s own collection progress — the countries on his shelf so far, not a catalogue of everything ever issued. Every tile below is a country section on this page.

Latest additions

Theme collections

The same shelf, cut different ways. Membership comes only from what each card on this page already says — its story, its series line, or a design fact recorded for the reels — never from a catalogue.

Missing pieces

The gaps Amit is hunting to complete sets already on the shelf. Know where one of these is? Suggest it by Instagram DM — that is the only route; there is no buying or selling through this page.

Aruba

200 Florin

The one missing note from the 2019 “Stars of Aruba” vertical series — the crested caracara — which would complete the five-note set whose 100 florin won IBNS Banknote of the Year 2019.

Australia

$2

The missing denomination from the Australian run, which currently spans the 1966 paper $1 through the Next Generation $100.

Australia

1988 $10 Bicentennial

The world’s first polymer banknote, issued for the Bicentennial — a landmark piece the collection does not yet hold.

Australia

2001 Federation $5

The Centenary of Federation commemorative $5 — the third of the three recorded Australian gaps.

Belize

2025 Polymer $50

The 2025 polymer series on the shelf runs $2, $5, $10, $20 and $100 — the $50 is the one denomination of the new series still missing.

Bermuda

2024 $5

The IBNS Banknote of the Year 2024 winning note itself. The collection holds the 2009 issue of the same $5 design — this is the award-year polymer reissue with King Charles III.

Awards reference — not part of Amit’s collection

IBNS Banknote of the Year winners

Every year the International Bank Note Society (IBNS) names one newly issued note its Banknote of the Year. All 22 winners, from 2004 to 2025, are listed here as a reference — a separate awards list, apart from the country sections above. These are not Amit’s notes, and the pictures are IBNS award reference images, not his photographs. The exceptions are the sixteen winners marked “In Amit’s collection” — follow their links to see his own front-and-back photographs. For twelve of them — Canada 2004, Samoa 2008, Bermuda 2009, Kazakhstan 2013, Trinidad and Tobago 2014, New Zealand 2015, Switzerland 2016 and 2017, Canada 2018, Aruba 2019, Mexico 2021 and Eastern Caribbean 2023 — the marked note is the winning note itself. The other four tiles are marked for Amit’s later issue of the same winning design, which each tile links to: his 2009 Bermuda $5 (the 2024 winner’s design), his 2022 Mexico 100 pesos (the 2020 winner’s design), his 2023 Philippines 1,000 piso (the 2022 winner’s design) and his Comoros 1,000 francs — a later printing, still dated 2005, of the 2006 winner’s design — those later issues are in his collection; the award-winning notes themselves are not.

Winner images are IBNS award reference images, shown so each winning note can be identified; they are not Amit’s photographs, and no winner other than those marked above is claimed as part of his collection. Sixteen tiles are marked in all: twelve for the winning notes themselves (2004, 2008, 2009, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2023), and four for Amit’s later issue of the same winning design — the 2024 Bermuda $5 tile for his 2009 issue, the 2020 Mexico 100 pesos tile for his 2022 issue, the 2022 Philippines 1,000 piso tile for his 2023 issue, and the 2006 Comoros 1,000 francs tile for his later printing, still dated 2005 — in his collection as a later issue of the winning design, not as the award-winning note itself. The awards set has no 2019 image, so the 2019 tile instead shows Amit’s own photograph of his Aruba 100 florin — the winning note he owns — and links to his Aruba section.

About the collector

Amit Rane is a world banknote collector. Every note on this page is his own, photographed by him, front and back — from a complete Afghanistan afghani set to the Arctic Territories Polar Dollars and the 2019 Aruba series whose 100 florin won IBNS Banknote of the Year. Serial numbers are listed in part only — the first and last digits — just enough to tell one example from another.

He posts the collection as @theatlasofcash on Instagram, where each country becomes an album or a reel, and as The Atlas of Cash on YouTube.
