Banknotes need a second look

Why do we have 2 two GUYANA's listed

guyana - 234 items
guyana - 91 items

Hi,

Because there are 2. The categories are translated from from the French where the first one is Guyane and the other Guyana. And in English they're translated to Guyana.
The first one is in fact he Co-operative Republic of Guyana (British Guiana) and the second one is French Guiana (French: Guyane française, officially Guyane).
To make it even more difficult there should in fact be a third Guyana: Dutch Guiana or Guyana, Dutch Guiana (now called Suriname)

There is also a State in Venezuela (Guayana) which issued stamps in 1903.

Bill, just don't ask me to clean out the stable -I'm still recovering from sorting out postcard categories and trying to summon the courage to tackle philatelics

Out of interest, which Delcampe site are you referring to?

On the UK site there are categories for FRENCH GUIANA with 0 items and GUYANA with 11 so everything looks in order here

My oreille has often been described as many things, but I don't think 'bonne' is one of them

I didn't set out to be the Category Portalmeister either officially or unofficially, but got so fed up of hearing others complain about categories as well as getting miffed myself that I decided to do something about it since no-one else seemed to be doing anything. Guess I'm stuck with it now until someone else volunteers to step up to the plate?

I've got various Gibbons' catalogues myself including the French (part 6) and Commonwealth (part 1) and I'm currently working my way through a small collection of Indo-China POs in China plus French POs in Egypt and the Levant, so getting very famiiiar with these places indeed! I use the online Gibbons frequently but find it very simplistic after the sectional catalogues

There's a good explanation of French DOM-TOM on Wikipedia, although I was shocked to learn it didn't stand for Domestic Tomatoes. Ah well...

To repeat my earlier question though: which Delcampe site are we talking about, as the UK one seems OK

Can we get a serious discussion going on this subject and come up with a sensible suggestion we can put to Sebastian and his team?

Hey they did update both coins and banknotes

I realise that, and I am grateful for it

I shall certainly take you up on it if/when we progress the category re-alignment

Many thanks
