0 Euro souvenir note from San Marino, "fake" or just missing from Numista?

Hello everyone, very quick question today. I know these are exonumia but I suppose if anyone can help it's you guys.

I was recently in San Marino and I could not resist the temptation to buy a 0 Euro banknote from a local vendor as a souvenir. When I got to my computer and tried adding the note to my Numista I found out this exact note (2024 version, first picture) does not seem to be there. Instead there is only the 2021 note (second picture). The theme is the same, the security features seem to be there, but the picture is different. Has San Marino simply issued a new version of the same note, or did I get scammed?

And if the note is legit, is there a way to request it be added? I know I can add it myself, but I lack the expertise to do so and I don't want to just submit partial/incomplete information.

Many thanks and have a good day!

Ecuadorian 5, 10, and 20 sucres.

I found these three on the sponsored/"inspired by" section on ebay while browsing for something entirely different. The 5 sucre appeared first and I was immediately attracted by the words "Sociedad Anonima" which sounded quite unique and mysterious to me, definitely not something I expected to see on a banknote. Then I saw the same vendor also had the 10 and 20 at a reasonable price and I decided to go for it.

I really like the fact that they are very similar stylistically but also have very different colours on the back but are mostly the same on the obverse. From what I gathered, the"Sociedad Anonima" was on all series of 5 sucres notes, but they dropped it from the 10 and 20 starting with the 1986-88 series, which is a shame because it's a detail I really liked.

Argentine 20, 50, and 500 pesos. From the "Animals" series.

Imho the most interesting ones among Argentina's many banknote series. I'm still missing the 100, 200, and 1000 pesos which I hope to find soon.

Can anyone help me identify the banknotes that appear in Django (1966) ?

Hello everyone! I know this may be a bit of a tricky question but recently I was watching the movie Django by Sergio Corbucci and there's a scene where Ángel Álvarez who plays Nathaniel is handling some money he owes to a former confederate turned bandit - and I couldn't help but wonder if the money they used was period-accurate or at the very least actual dollars (since the movie was an Italian and Spanish production). Unfortunately I could not find anything about it online, and my copy of the film is in very poor resolution with a lot of digital artifacts which make it even harder to identify. I only have three pictures to identify these banknotes:

  • Picture #1 is taken from the web and a single banknote is clearly visible - it seems either green or possibly very pale blue with a fairly uniform background and some numbers in the four corners. I think this might be the back of a CS$ note which did come with light blue backgrounds on the reverse, but this one does not seem to have any lettering in the middle and in any case I don't think they had confederate dollars available on set (likely a reproduction)
  • Picture #2 and #3 are screenshots I took from my own copy of the movie.
    • #3 is basically unusable except that I think I can read the word "ONE" on the note closer to the actor's fingers, but the text spans the entire length of the note and I don't know of any US$ note like that.
    • #2 seems more usable, there's definitely a portrait on the top left hand side of the note with a 1 directly underneath - but this excludes confederate dollars as they had the numbers on top and faces on the bottom. I scrolled through US dollars and Mexican pesos on Numista and couldn't find anything that matched exactly. I also tried Spanish pesetas issued between 1900-1966 just in case, but I can't find anything there either.

If anyone more knowledgeable than me wants to help, feel free to try. And even if you can't help but still read all of this, I'm thankful :)

Sorry for the very bad pictures, I've been doing this for years and still don't know how to take proper photos.
