By Liliana E. González

The pick number is the number assigned to every single banknote in the catalog. It was named “pick” in honor to Albert Pick who authored earlier issues of Europe and America paper money. The first Standard Catalog of World Paper Money was published for Krause publications in 1975.

Nowadays the Standard Catalogs of World Paper Money published by Krause are the guide for collectors and dealers. These catalogs group the banknotes by country, number them, show a picture usually front and back, give a description, and a value according to condition.

The banknote below is from Zaire and is pick number 40
