©Geni - I'm not sure how this is OR if I'm citing the main reference book on world banknotes as the source of information indicating that the denomination has not been reported to exist? I could change the description so that this image is simply a high-grade example of the Liberian dollar, but that would neglect it's importance...
The problem is that it introduces unpublished idea. Specifically that the thing exists.©Geni (talk) 18:16, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
©Geni- That the thing exists seems beyond question, given the image provided (from a reliable source, the NNC). Not wanting to split hairs, I have amended the description of the image so that its relevant EV for FPC is not based on denomination but rather on being a fairly high quality and very high resolution example of the series.--Godot13 (talk) 03:05, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Generally yes. There have been past cases where people have had to prod museums to publish blogs mentioning things about their collection.©Geni (talk) 19:58, 29 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
