How Much is my Straits Settlements Paper Money Worth?

Old money from Straits Settlements can be worth a lot of cash. If you’ve come across a collection and found paper money from the Straits Settlements, it’s possible you have paper money worth thousands of dollars. When trying to determine the value of Straits Settlements banknotes you have to take into consideration major factors at play.

The first factor is the Condition. Condition is king when it comes to most collectible items in general. I’ve purchased a very poor condition banknote examples in the past for $10 to $20 while the same bill in perfect condition would be worth over $500. If somehow you have a Straits Settlements banknote from the early 1900s that’s in pristine condition, the likelihood of a valuable banknote increases significantly.

Another important factor when determining the value of Straits Settlement paper money is the Market. The market is constantly fluctuating, in different sectors. Particularly paper money the market can quickly be cut in half during a recession, as we saw in late 2008. The collectible paper money market was gutted and never truly returned to its full price since then.

Supply and Demand is something we’ve all learned about in our lives at one point or another. And for Straits Settlements paper money its a very important concept.

I’ve handled extremely scarce banknotes from the 1700s that are quite literally one-of-a-kind that are relatively worthless simply because nobody wants them. That is not the case with Straits Settlements paper money though, I will tell you that.

The last thing you should know that will increase the value of your Straits Settlements paper money is the Serial Number. A poor condition banknote with low demand worth only $10 can be turned into a $100 bill easily if it has a rare serial number.
