One of the interesting features in collecting paper currency, or notaphily, is acquiring banknotes in pairs with consecutive serial numbers. This principle applies to notes with unique sequential numbering, for example, banknotes of Russia and the USSR, starting from the "Shipovshchina" period.

The counterfeit banknotes of Viktor Ivanovich Baranov are a famous chapter in the history of the Soviet Union. His craftsmanship was so high that the bills he created were practically indistinguishable from the state-issued ones, and in some aspects, even surpassed them. He produced these banknotes in makeshift conditions, in his own shed using homemade equipment.
