POLISH NUMISMATIC WEB SITE

  Gosia Fort writes: "I was browsing the Internet Museum
  of the Polish People's Republic, when I found several items
  related to the field of numismatics. The site is mainly in Polish,
  but here is a brief guideline for the selected pages:

  "Polish People's Republic Money and National Bank of Poland
  bonds" has images of Polish paper money, bond and exchange
  notes issued between 1944-1990.
  http://www.polskaludowa.com/pieniadze.htm"

  "Money and postcards issued by the opposition" includes four
  specimens of paper money issued on Dec. 13th, 1981 (the first
  day of the martial law in Poland and in 1982 during the martial
  law):

   1. Banknot 1 zomol  ("zomol" is a made up word from the
       acronym ZOMO; that stands for the infamous police force
       created in the 80s to enforce the martial law in Poland)
       http://www.polskaludowa.com/opozycja/okolicznosciowe/1_zomol.htm

  2. Banknot 10 zl with Adam Michnik (it has the same design
      as the circulating 10 zl, but pictures Adam Michnik, the
      serial number on the left is the date of introducing martial
      law, the serial number on the right is a date of establishing
      KOR [Committee for Workers' Defence] and the issue
      date is the date of bloody strike in Radom, which lead to
      creating KOR

  3. Banknot 30 srebrnikow (30 silvers with the image of gen.
      Jaruzelski)

http://www.polskaludowa.com/opozycja/okolicznosciowe/30_srebnikow.htm

  4. Banknot 50 groszy  (50 grosz of Solidarity issued during
      the martial law)

http://www.polskaludowa.com/opozycja/okolicznosciowe/50_groszy.htm

  "Documents marked by the opposition"  includes interesting
  examples of marks stamped by the Solidarity on circulating
  money to show that though delegalized and drawn to the
  underground, the Solidarity movement is undefeated and
  still fighting..."
