Ron Wise's Banknoteworld.com is Gone

Ron Wise's World Paper Money website has gone offline.  This website has been around for many years and provided thousands of images on world paper money.  If you had difficulty identifying a banknote this the main website that provided images.  Ron had over 7 GB of images identified by country and pick numbers. 

Some of the images that have been cached can be viewed at http://web.archive.org/web/20110628181158/http://www.banknoteworld.com/

This is a sad day in the history of paper money collecting.  One of the best online catalogs of world paper money has been forced offline.

If you tried to reach the site recently you will get this message:

Ron's WPM Web Site

a.k.a. Banknoteworld

is no longer available.  My Director requested that it be removed from the AES server and there is no place else I can house the site, since it requires around 7 gigabytes of space.

It was a good run and I want to thank all who contributed to the site and all who may have just visited to browse or increase their knowledge.

  1. A bit over 5000 of the notes have been made available as part of http://banknoteindex.com
