Montenegro Money is Ugly!
by Proteus on Jan.04, 2010, under Recent Acquisitions
The government of Montenegro never cared to convey any of their history, culture, ecology, architecture, art, etc. on their paper money. Its a shame, but regardless, for the most part the money looks like ugly old stock bonds or worse. So, in making my latest purchase, I was not purchasing a banknote for show: it would be strictly an investment. All paper money from Montenegro seems to go for around $25-30 though the few rare denominations that exceed 10 Perpera do sell for considerably more. I bought this one for $6.15.

To be fair, Montenegro stopped issuing its own money after 1917. Most money prior to that was not pretty; it was fairly bland. I believe that Montenegro became part of what used to be Yugoslavia in about 1918. Montenegro does not exist as an independent country now-a-days but the region can be quite beautiful, and they do use prettier money now, if that matters at all!
