Fake Bojarski banknotes, which are counterfeit currency bearing the name of a fictional bank, were recently discovered in an attic in the region of Touraine. These notes, which are often used as collectibles or novelty items rather than real money, were set to be auctioned this Friday, September 18, at 2:00 p.m., in Paris. The auction was expected to attract collectors interested in rare and unusual items. The Bojarski banknotes are known for their intricate designs and are often mistaken for real currency, though they are not legal tender. They were created in the 1970s by a group of artists and have since become a popular subject among numismatists and enthusiasts of eccentric currency. The owner of the discovered notes, upon learning of their potential value and historical significance, decided to donate them to the Bank of France. This decision ensures that the notes will be preserved and studied by experts, contributing to the understanding of this unique form of currency. The Bank of France has accepted the donation, and the notes will now be part of its collection. This act highlights the importance of preserving cultural artifacts, even those that are not traditional currency, for future generations to study and appreciate.
