Where can I see pictures of banknotes on the internet?
Ron Wise's World Paper Money Home Page has the largest collection of currency images on the internet. I don't put many images on my site because Ron Wise has already put together the best collection out there. Incredible depth of 4,000+ full color images totaling over 160MB!

How much is a 1920's German tens of thousands or millions of Marks note worth (Reichsbanknote)?
As a general reference, according to the Sixth edition of "The Standard Catalog of World Paper Money", the German 100,000 Mark note from 1923 is worth between 15 cents to $1. Interestingly enough, inflation was so high in Germany at this time that in 1923 there was even a 100 trillion Mark issued. Many of the German notes from this era were printed in very high quantities so mostof them aren't worth much today. I have several in my collection of varying denominations that I bought for less than $.50 each. Please check with a dealer on my links list who is up on current prices for a better answer.

I have a Japanese Dollar, Peso, Rupee, Gulden, etc. What is it and how much is it worth?
These are JIMs, Japanese Invasion Money. They are from WWII, printed by Japan for areas they occupied during the war. Most of them are very common and not worth much. Please check with one of the dealers on my links list who is up on current pricing for a better answer.
How can I sell a banknote or collection that I have?
I think the easiest and best way is on an auction site such as eBay. You can sell your item(s) direct to the consumer. This should work well for the more common notes, however, I would recommend you consult a qualified dealer if you suspect you have any rare or unusual notes. You can check with some of the dealers on my links list.
I have another question that you haven't answered here. Where else can I check?
