Henley Numismatics sells a wide range of banknotes exclusively as collectibles. Henley Numismatics does not in any way, directly or indirectly, engage, endorse, or recommend purchasing banknotes for any reason other than as a collectible.

In making a purchase of banknotes or coins from Henley Numismatics, I accept that Henley Numismatics sells banknotes and coins as collectibles and that while the value of banknotes as collectibles may go up and down based on collector interest which is highly speculative, significant increases in value as a circulating currency are NOT likely. I also accept that Henley Numismatics does not guarantee any future price or value with respect to any banknote or other item that it sells.
