British Armed Forces Currency & Banknote Values

Banknote Book® Price Guide

The Greysheet Catalog (GSID) of the British Armed Forces series of United Kingdom in the World Currency contains 118 distinct entries with CPG® values between $0.25 and $300.00.

The British Armed Forces (BAF) issued banknotes for troops serving overseas between 1946 and 1972. Because these notes circulated in so many countries, they are listed here under the occupying power, contrary to the normal practice of The Banknote Book of listing in the occupied territory.
