akaworldbanknotes.com - USA

This web site is a showcase of the paper money of the world, but this site is much more than just an educational tool. I have watched this site grow and improve over time with the web master learning and bringing new techniques to his web site to show case his "money" and web making talent. This site is huge and the time that it must take to make sure that all the external links are working must be immense, but this web master is diligent in making sure that this is done. I commend him and this site. Thank you for asking me to evaluate this site for an upgrade, it certainly deserves the highest honors of a Gold.

Top quality Award Program. Not only does this site meet our content criteria, but is easy to navigate, has a pleasing layout, coded with access keys, along with text links with title tags. Just excellent. I wish I had an award for more than 100 points!

This site is one of the most comprehensive sites I have every seen. I thoroughly enjoyed my many visits to this site during the evaluation!
