Gosia Fort writes: "I was browsing the Internet Museum
of the Polish People's Republic, when I found several items
related to the field of numismatics. The site is mainly in Polish,
but here is a brief guideline for the selected pages:"Polish People's Republic Money and National Bank of Poland
bonds" has images of Polish paper money, bond and exchange
notes issued between 1944-1990.

specimens of paper money issued on Dec. 13th, 1981 (the first
day of the martial law in Poland and in 1982 during the martial
law):

acronym ZOMO; that stands for the infamous police force
created in the 80s to enforce the martial law in Poland)

law, the serial number on the right is a date of establishing

money to show that though delegalized and drawn to the
underground, the Solidarity movement is undefeated and
still fighting..."- 2002-11-03
