A friend sent this message from Germany, where he's living in expat
splendor:
========================================================
Well, inside the book was a banknote I've seen before, origin unclear:
Could be Nordic?
Yogoslav?
It's for a hundred of summat, the Bank E SHQIPERISE
In larger letter writ both sides is: NJEMIJE LEKE
Should I paste it in one of my books as an historical keepsake or am I
rich?
==========================================================
What has he found? Shall I tell him to retire?
Thanks.

A quick search in Google on "njemije leke" shows it's
Albanian. Nothing to retire on.

Go to http://www.banknotes.com/al.htm then click on [Obverse
and Reverse] of the 1000 Leke note you want (various dates
of issue).

Thanks.
He'd not handed in his retirement form.

"Shqipėria" is Albanian for "Albania". |

"Shqipėria" is Albanian for "Albania".
And more Google:
In http://www.blinkbits.com/en_wikifeeds/Eagle
one can read:
<Quote>
Albania. The two-headed eagle is the emblem of "Shqipėria"
or Land of the Eagles, which is known in English as Albania
(see The Tale of the Eagle for the legendary origin of the
name)
</Quote>
I guess that "Albania" comes from the Latin "albus"
(feminine "alba") meaning white.
