RHODESIAN PROBLEM
Shortage Of Notes (N.Z.P.A.-Reuter) SALISBURY. Rhodesia’s “filty lucre” is getting filthier. It will continue to do so. or at least the paper part of it will, until the legal battle for possession of 21 tons of new Rhodesian banknotes printed in West Germany is settled. A crisp new red £1 note or blue 10s note is today one of the rarest sights in Rhodesia. The notes in circulation were printed more than two years ago, and because no new ones have been coming in, old notes are being made to circulate longer than usual. They are withdrawn only if they are tattered and tom, heavily repaired with sticky tape, or obviously too dirty to go back into circulation. A Reserve Bank spokesman, announcing that a less selective policy was being applied for the withdrawal of notes, explained: "We have adopted a more prudent attitude and are making them last longer than usual.”
