NEW MONEY FOR OLD.
A Prominent London Bankers CO1Iec-
ton of Historical and Curious
BanknOtes

On Aladdin's principle of giving
new lamps for old, Mr.. Moberly Phil
lips, an associate of the Institute of
Bankers, is preparing at any time to
give new notes, or their equivalent in
gold, for old notes which have some
interesting history attached to them,
says the London Chronicle. Mr.. Phil
lips is the only collector of bank
notes in the country, and probably
out of it, and his collection amounts
to 500, more OF less. Some of the
more valuable of his specimens he
exhibited the other evening at a
meeting of the Institute of Bankers
in the London institution. One of the
most interesting was a note issued
by Mai. Gen. Baden-POwell during the
siege of Mafeking. 1t is numbered
766, dated March, 1900, and printed
in green ink on an obviously primi-
tive machine. Another, with, if pos
sibIe, a still more fascinating history,
was a currency note, with Arabic let
tering, printed by Gen. Gordon when
he was besieged in Khartoum. Of
Bank of England notes, Mr.. Phillips
has specimens of the face value of
one pound not unlike in appearance
the Scotch 2O-shilling notes of the
present day.
In times of emergency, when coin
was scarce, paper money of as low
a value as five shillings was issued
by traders. But there has been a
lower depth even than this, cards and
paper tickets having been resorted to
in some places for as small a sum as
one shilling. Another interesting
special issue, shown by Mr.. Phillips,
was that of the Birmingham work.
house. These notes were circulated
by the overseers for various small
amounts, ''fOr the convenience Of
paying the poor" and payment was
made when eight two-shilling six
pence or four five-shilling notes were
brought together. In one corner
piece of these notes is a picture of
Charity nursing young children. As
showing the length of time during
which notes may remain in currency,
Mr.. Phillips mentioned that he had
Scotch note for se12, dated 1871,
and the bank which issued it offered
to change it for him. Being a col
lector, Mr.. Phillips preferred to keep
his ancient bit of paper.
In the matter of diminutive bank
notes correspondent sends an ac-
count of a curious note which he has
in his possession. 1t is a card meas
uring two by two and one-half inches,
on one side of which is twice printed
the word ''twopence," while on the
other side the sum is printed in
words and figures around the border.
