Book Description: Every human on the planet has a unique relationship to objects. There are those who accompany us daily and others more punctually. Not all objects have the same identity and the same power of attraction. Some will never make sense and others will be very valuable to us.
As far as the subject of this book is concerned, the objects we are going to talk about are banknotes! In the pages that follow, about thirty banknotes have been selected to tell you a more personal story through the testimony of passionate collectors.
The idea of this book germinated in my mind when I first showed my collection to friends. I was delighted and proud to present my binders, until one of the hundreds of cuts carefully classified in their plastic sleeves asked me which of my banknotes I preferred? I was disappointed, like frozen. It seemed impossible to answer. It was therefore naturally tempting for me to investigate and test other collectors on this fundamental question: "And if you were to have only one banknote, which one would you choose?".

Les billets d'urgence de 1940
Product identifiers: ISBN: 978-2916996974
Author: Yann-Noël Hénon
Number of pages: 320 pages, color photos
Format: Softcover
Publication date: Paris, 2018
Language: French
Publisher: cgb.fr
Book Description: In the spring of 1940, several million people as well as the state administrations fled from the lightning fast attack of the German armies. Nevertheless, some local officials courageously remained in place, and decided to issue bills or emergency notes, in order to maintain the regional economic activity. In this book you will discover the result of several years of research and collecting of these “emergency notes” issued between May and July 1940.
34 types are identified, resulting in a total of 118 references to collect. The notes are arranged by city and alphabetically. The front and back of each note is illustrated in color and accompanied by a descriptive text presenting the context, date of issue, quantities, detailed information on past sales and the quotes in 5 grades. At the end of the book, 10 more types not yet found are revealed, as well as 9 other projected, but aborted issues.
This first edition, very precise and the most complete possible, will undoubtedly become a reference. Hopefully it will attract the attention of new collectors to these bills and notes, which will forever remain the visual witnesses of this dark time of the history of France.
