The Website is divided into three main areas:-
- Selling
- Information
- Library
Selling
Selling is the main function of the website. Notes are loaded up individually:- Catalogue number - Prefix - Grade 1 - Grade 2 - Price - Special Information (First, Date, Replacement, Specimen, etc). This information is displayed as text on a line for notes you see for sale. When the line is clicked this and the extra information and scans are picked up and displayed.
SEARCH you can type anything into the search box and it will come up. ie any catalogue number, PMI, Pick, Duggleby, Quarmby
SECURITY when buying is paramount. The site is protected by a secure server and your details are not shown until we accept your order and request the payment details. We are also accredited with Security Metrics, the Credit Card company's security body. All your purchases are 100% secure.
Information
News & Info This section of the website is dedicated to banknote information, Replacements, Bernhard Forgeries, Prefix Updates, Pictures/Scans, Banknote History, etc,etc,. We welcome participation on this part of the site. If you want an area covered just ask.
Library
In the background there is a vast picture and information section. Every Duggleby Number (B, T & C) for all English notes and every Pick Catalogue Number (P & PS) for all notes of all countries has its own entry, with a line of information plus scans (also PMI & Quarmby). When you click on a particular line while browsing notes for sale the information and scans are picked up and displayed, plus additional information, loaded separately for the actual note for sale.
Rare, Scarce and Individual notes for sale have their own scans loaded up separately.
On the Website:-
Search
You should be able to type anything into the Search Box and click on GO. And it should come up?
Hosting
The Website is hosted by Vizar. If you wish to buy a copy of the site speak to Pam. (You would have to load up all your own material). The site is amenable to all sorts of collectables:- Coins - Stamps - etc etc
Scans
I scan notes as J pegs at 200dpi (told 300 is better) on Paint Shop Pro. The scans for the library load up so long as they are under 800KB. The problems occur when scans are needed for articles. I have to reduce them to below 70KB, very time consuming.
Scans of replacements, specimens, rare/scarce notes, always appreciated
