Could anyone please tell me if there are (and if so which ones) any paper money bills with images of archaeological places for the following countries in South and Central America: 1. Guatemala (image of Tikal) 2. Mexico (Chichenitza, Palenque or such) 3. Peru (Machu Picchu) I'd greatly appreciate any information. Thank you. Regards, |

Regards, I have a Guatemala note with a Mayan stone carving and pyramid, not sure if they are from Tikal or not. Mexico has several notes with Aztec buildings and pyramids but I'm not sure if they are the ones you mentioned. Not sure about Peru but I would be surprised if they did not have Machu Picchu on one of their notes. It is what the nation is most famous for. I would try to look at a Standard Catalog of Paper Money (for world issues, not US) at a local Barnes and Noble (they usually carry them in the hobby section). |

Hi John;
Thanks for the info. Would it be possible by any chance that you e'mail me over a scan of this Guatemalan note with Mayan ruins? I'll check around. I actually live in Canada so will have to find a different source for some kind of catalogue (btw, any such catalogues available on-line?). I also already found a note from 1975, 1000 Peruvian soles with an amazing image of Machu Picchu. Thanks again for your response. Best regards, Alan D. |

The back of the Peru 100 Soles of 1976 portrays Machu Picchu (P-114) and
the back of the 1/2 Quetzals (for the past several years) shows a temple at Tikal (or a temple named Tikal?). The back of the Mexican 1,000 Pesos (from about 1959 to 1977, P-52 series) features a temple from Chichenitza. All the above notes can be found on my website. Hope this helps. Take care.

Ron;
Thanks a lot!!! This is exactly what I was looking for. I actually also found out that 1000 Peru soles from 1974 shows Machu Picchu as well. I'll check out your web site as soon as I'm back on the high speed. Thank you again. Best regards, Alan D. "samain" wrote in message ...

(John Stone) says.... A few years ago I went with my sons school class to a local Native American cultural center on a field trip, while I was there I struck up a conversation about the pre Columbian moundbuilding culture with one of the people who worked there and he had no idea what I was talking about. So many different tribes, headresses and now, too many mounds. Who can keep it all straight...........8^) Always here for my fellow syngraphist or oenophile. --=*=----=*=----=*=----=*=----=*=----=*=----=*=----=*=----=*=----=*=-- The mounds aren't too hard actually. There were three distinct cultures in the midwest and south that engaged in moundbuilding over a 3 thousand year period from approx 1500 BC to 1500 AD. Some of the cultures overlapped during that time and sometimes in the same areas. I wish they had issued coins but alas..... collecting mound culture artifacts is popular but controversial. |
