If you already have a solid understanding of Palestine banknotes and why they’re important, we still recommend you read through the guide. The last thing you want is to sell the Palestine bill for too little, and not get the money you deserve.
These bills were printed with the following denominations: 500 Mils, 1 Pound, 5 Pounds, 10 Pounds, 50 Pounds, 100 Pounds. When it comes to determining the value of these Palestine banknotes it typically always comes down to condition and which denomination you’ve acquired. In almost all instances the higher denomination bills will be worth more money than the smaller. We look forward to helping you with your collection. Remember, we are strong buyers of these Palestine banknotes.
What are Palestine Banknotes?
These banknotes have an interesting history, and some runs have a very limited print run, making them incredibly scarce and expensive. Even in poor conditions, some of these Palestine banknotes can be worth thousands of dollars.
Palestine paper money up until 1918 was Turkey’s currency. After that, from 1918 to 1927, we had Egyptian currency. And finally, the Palestine Pound, which is equal to 1.000 Mils, was from 1927 to 1948. This last period will be the main focus of this guide and mainly what we buy. Keep in mind, we buy all world banknotes. Even from Turkey and Egypt, but sometimes this paper money isn’t worth nearly as much as Palestine paper money is.
A lot of these issued notes from 1927 to 1948 feature Rachel’s Tomb, Dome of the Rock, or Tower of Ramla. These played a significant history for the country and the reason behind putting them on the currency showed a lot about the Jerusalem background and culture behind these rare paper money bills.
Should I contact a Paper Money Expert?
Depending on your capabilities, willingness to learn, and the complexity of Palestine Paper Money varieties and conditions, as well as market variables, you could buy, sell, and collect Palestine Currency yourself. Or, you might discover that you would prefer the help of an expert. Either way is okay!
If you end up looking for expert help, it’s important to know many consultants “provide Free Evaluations,” but can vary widely in quality and honesty. Knowing how to choose a trustworthy Paper Money Expert can save you a lot of time and money, as the wrong person can do more harm to your pocketbook than they will help.
The true value of Palestine Banknotes
This can be a difficult area to navigate if you’re a beginner, but in our guide, we hope to help ease the waters just a bit.

There are dealers out there who will unfortunately try and take advantage of inexperienced buyers.
