NEW BOOK: BANKNOTES FROM SHIPWRECKS, 2024

I've released an updated book, "Banknotes Salvaged, Looted, or Lost From Shipwrecks"

When I wrote "200 Years of Banknotes Salvaged, Looted or Lost from Shipwrecks" I made this statement about the future use of ships to transport banknote shipments: "Multiple shipments via air might be more prudent". It would appear my opinion was completely off base! Or at least not heeded. As one would expect, open discussions of such a huge investment do NOT appear in the news or online. BUT, banknote shipments looted or seized while on board ship is an entirely different matter. THAT'S NEWS! And yes, I've found FOUR such cases from 2006 to 2019.

Since the losses now cover 240 years a new "Banknotes Salvaged, Looted, or Lost From Shipwrecks" book is published! It is perfect bound to allow the title to appear on the binding. Also, I upgraded to thicker 80# coated paper.

Other updates include:

• Most shipwrecks have a chart with banknotes involved, map of wreck site, image of ship, and banknote images.
• Lost ships was 36 , now 52
• Date ranges of losses was 1882 to 1979 now 1779 to 2019
• Banknote printers with lost consignments was 8 now 14
• Banknote denominations was 74 now 105 - from 45 countries
• Pages was 56 now 90
