Haj Issues Currency & Banknote Values

The Greysheet Catalog (GSID) of the Haj Issues series of Pakistan in the World Currency contains 18 distinct entries with CPG^® values between $1.00 and $13,500.00.

In an effort to control the foreign exchange of its currency, Pakistan issued special notes for use only by Muslims making the pilgrimage, called the Haj, to Mecca in Saudi Arabia, as well as other holy sites in Iraq. The Haj notes were not legal tender in Pakistan, but they could be used in Saudi Arabia to purchase Saudi riyals and were then remitted to Pakistan via Saudi Arabian banks.
