Krause Publications has screwed up big time,especially for countries such as Zimbabwe (merged in the Standard Chartered bearer cheques in with the Reserve Bank issues,considering that they were issued totally separately),Great Britain,in which there are 2 separate listings for the Bank of England (which belongs under 'England' in my view),& Canada.

As for the Bangladeshi & Pakistani listings,some of them state several signature varieties,which are impossible to tell,as there's no signature charts.

There is a major need for an online numismatic photo gallery along similar lines to www.zeno.ru ,but it would have to list the world's banknotes,coins (from ancient Lydia to Euros),currency tokens (used as coins during coin shortages in some countries),& postal orders.

The gallery would need to use the gallery program from www.photopost.com as its base.

As to being supported,that is where the numismatic community need to be directly involved.

Here's a link that will interest you; http://www.coinnetwork.com/group/wor...allerycampaign .

The sooner that we get this online gallery established,the sooner that we,the numismatic community can start giving the cataloguers a helping hand,as it were,& the team at Krause Publications the biggest wake-up call that they need.
