Default New edition of Standard Catalog of World Paper Money

Take a look at Numismaster and you'll see the emphasis is on coins, not
banknotes. What little note info is up there is US notes, not world notes.
Clearly international paper money collectors don't rank very high on
Krause's list of concerns.

I agree that an online version of the catalog would be desirable, but the
fact remains that print is far more convenience for a portable reference.
Also, don't forget that a huge portion of the collecting community is old
timers with limited or no computer skills.


well yes, but I don't think they'll be very impressed with the DVD
either....

I'm just surprised they are pursuing such an obsolete technology
angle, when they already have an online platform. It shouldn't form
part of their strategy.

They could make much more money out of their website by selling
valuations as well I would think.
