DROOLING DOLLAR
Regarding the "drooling dollar" question, Joe Boling was the
first to respond with an answer. Neil Shafer chimed in soon
with some additional detail:Joe writes: "Nepal, several denominations (2, 100, 500, 1000
rupees, Pick numbers 29, 34, 35, 36). The two low
denominations carry little premium for the "drooling" variety;
the two higher denominations are priced more than double for
the early variety (so is the 2 rupee, but the difference is only
$1.50)."Neil writes: "The "drooling dollars" are from Nepal. King
Birendra Bir Bikram's first notes, issued in 1981, did show him
with what is thought to be a line of "drool" coming from his lower
lip on some notes, specifically the 2,100, 500 and 1000 rupees.
The Standard Catalog of World Paper Money lists two varieties
of the 2 and 100-rupee notes, with and without the drooling line.
As far as we know, the others with the drooling line were not
issued in the corrected version. The 5, 10, 20 and 50 rupees
were not issued with the drooling line. There is only a slight
premium on the 2-rupee drool piece, and even less on the 100."- 2003-11-23
