Checklist of Some Rare Foreign Banknotes
YES, we absolutely buy foreign currency. It is tough for a rare banknote from a foreign country to wind up in South Carolina. 99% of rare American currency is still in The Untied States, just like the majority of rare foreign banknotes are still in their country of origin.
