Why are the North Korean Western exchange certificates considered exonumia? [Risolto]

Hello Numistas!

Just wondering, because the “certificate” is an actual banknote with an overprint stamp. I'm specifically speaking about N# 356435, N# 403201 and N# 316631.

For that matter, N# 203957, appearing under China, which is a Japanese 10 yen with red overprints, should also be considered exonumia.

Again, just wondering...

Cheers!

Hello,

if you are convinced otherwise, please modify the item in question, referee will check that.

Because the banknotes meet the Numista definition of a Foreign Exchange Certificate which Numista places under Paper Exonumia. You would have to argue that they are not actually Foreign Exchange Certificates to move them out of Exonumia or move the object type from Paper Exonumia to Banknotes.
