help wanted on old tt dollar bills

[Chimera]

Wheyyy zoom u letting that man rough u up so. He feel he know more about old money than you. Better allyuh meet at woodford square at noon and have a old fashion gun battle.

[zoom rader]

Zoom we all know who certified the notes, I'm in the game as well! You could go wherever you want to get your notes but I know what I pay for my CERTIFIED notes by those same grading companies. From a previous post also there is a blue $2 note, please do your research !

There was never a production blue two dollar note.
It was red.

If it was a blue $2 then it was prototype note and never put into production.

Private banks use to print their own notes which was legal tender, like the red $5 notes.

Post a pic if you have it.

Zoom do your research please!!! I now realize yuh only talking!!!! British Caribbean Territories was used in Trinidad in the 50's and 60's before QE 11 face on TT's currency in the mid 60's. I'm sure you remember the big copper 1 and 2 cent pieces????? Well there was notes as well!!! The $2 dollar note is BLUE!!! Be advised!!

[royalians]

Like I said.

There was NEVER a Blue TRINIDAD $2 bank note.

What you are speaking about is British Eastern Caribbean notes that was used in Trin, but is not a Trin bank note .

Trin bank notes are worth more than the British Caribbean notes because less Trin notes was produced . I don't even sell those notes

You can't reach me jack chit about Trini notes. I dealing in TRINIDAD notes for over 30 years

[royalians]

Zoom u done get dis already! Tell everybody what notes were used from 50-64 in TT??? Let everyone look at the back of the note I'm talking bout and see if you don't see TT???? Trinidad and Tobago notes solely were produced from 64 with onwards with 3 different bank governors signatures!!! Stop trying to fool ppl!!!!! So we had no currency in the 50's and early 60's then ????? Try your best again!!!

[royalians]

If it blue, $2 and used in Trinidad what does that make it??? Syrian currency? Yuh buyers done read this an make you out!!

On the back of those notes their are 4 other Caribbean countries listed.
The note was used in the time frame but it is not a real original Trinidad note, that is why it is not collected.

Would you really want to collect a Trinidad note with Guyana, leeward Island and windward Island listed on the back of it.

Most of buyers never ask for these notes cause there are lots in existence and it is not a real Trinidad note. It is an Eastern Caribbean note.

I hope you and others can learn something.

Why collect a so called Trinidad note that has Guyana, leeward and windward Island listed on the back of it.

It's like collecting a 1950 ferrari with a Honda engine fitted matched to Nissan gearbox and a tail light from Kia.

The note is listed as an Eastern Caribbean note and not a Trinidad note.

[royalians]

Zoom take win nah! The note is not part of our history, yuh happy? Trinidad used no currency from 50 - 64! There was never a blue $2.00 note used here( which is the original discussion) and I still believe PPG is a paint!! Take win brother!!! I know who not advising me though......uuuuuuuu!

[zoom rader]

^^^ You can get about $1000TT for the note as in that condition.

A near mint will go for $500US.
Uncirculated will fetch $1000US

I got a few but not seliing at the moment . Its the next hottest note after the 1977 $50.

[d.d.s.]

zoom rader, thanks alot for the info.
I certainly did not know the value of this bill. It's a good thing I decided to put this away safely when I got this in the ATM a couple years ago...yup that's how I got it.

Sorry DVSTT, I'll hold onto it, unless I get an offer too good to refuse

[sleepertercel]

What are these worth? (N.B. This is how I got them)

[rspann]

That fifty have history behind it. Zoom, can you tell us why it was discontinued?

[sleepertercel]

Far as I know, there was an issue with a batch and/or plates being stolen causing them to be discontinued.

You right, in 1977 ,a batch was stolen . Explainer sang about it in his calypso ,dem wey dread.

[cueball1990]

These worth anything besides the stated value? Had them a while now

[zoom rader]

It was stolen off the port and central bank discontinued it. It only lasted a few years.
Somewhere in Rio it is buried. They never found the majority of the notes.

The other issue is that the note has a major error on as the date is stated 1963 when it's supposed to 1977 Republican note. Both notes are valuable especially the stolen notes.

The 1963 note is not from the stolen set .

Two years ago a batch of very mint notes appeared on eBay which had the serial numbers series of the missing notes. So there are notes out there.
