I'm sure there are many notes which fall into this category. We know they were issued but we also know that all have been returned to the issuing bank and none are left for us to collect. The question is, do we include them in our catalogue?
The particular examples I'm considering are the Irish £20, £50 and £100 consolidated bank notes issued by the eight joint-stock banks between 1929 and 1941, of which most are recorded as having no outstanding examples. Some images of proofs can be found, such as here: http://www.irishpapermoney.com/ploughman-notes-consolidated-banknotes-introduction.html
but should we add these notes to Numista?

It isn't just that they no-longer circulate, they no no-longer exist, since all were recalled and destroyed by the banks. Nevertheless, that's two in favour of their inclusion.

Add them for the sake of completeness. If a note is known to have existed, it has a place in catalogs, even if a comment is made that none are known to exist. This happens in the case of other objects such as lost films in filmographies.
Cita: "ceh2019"Thanks for the contributions. I shall add all of these notes.
I also say to add them, cause always there is a small possibility of a few of them still are in collector's hands or museums.
If not, at least is nice to collectors to be able to see them, like we see pictures or movies about extincted animals.
Just 10 options: you understand binary, or you don't.
