 * Original:Trinidad and Tobago first government-issued series of banknotes. A one-dollar and two-dollar bill of 1905. Of the two varieties of $2 bill (solid red, and red with green overprint), the pictured type is prohibitively scarce.

 * Why not include both here? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:06, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Good point. I wasn't quite as happy with the $1 image (perhaps overcritical of the natural light folds creating brighter spots), but they are a natural set...--Godot13 (talk) 17:22, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Support - The folds are a bit strong, but we have to think realistically: what are the chances we're going to get two more high quality scans of such hundred-year-old notes? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:45, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
 * You are right. I've been conditioned working with US notes (where nearly uncirculated or better is generally attainable).--Godot13 (talk) 00:08, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
