Welcome to PatrickP.nl!
I am Patrick Plomp, and please allow me to shortly introduce myself. Since 1979, I have been an avid collector of banknotes and numismatic products produced in, for, or by the Netherlands. Beyond collecting what I prefer to call "documents of monetary value," I am deeply interested in the stories behind the money. I love talking about this fascinating hobby with anyone who will listen, not to boast about my knowledge, but to elicit other stories and discover new aspects of this captivating field.
In 1996, I became the secretary of the Dutch chapter of the International Banknote Society and the (sole) editor of the society's journal. I thoroughly enjoyed this role for fourteen years. Additionally, I contributed to the International Banknote Society by serving as a Regional Director, handling global inquiries about banknotes, often with the help of the society's Expert Panel.
With the knowledge and experience I gained, I contributed to the second volume of the Akkermans Vercoulen catalog in 2005. In 2015, I published my first catalog, encompassing almost all paper money issued on Dutch soil from 1573 to the euro. While previous works by Akkermans/Vercoulen, Verkooyen, and Toele/Jacobi have covered much of the information, my catalog offers a unique perspective. In 2020, I published a second catalog, revising and expanding the section on nationally circulated paper money and including currency used in overseas Dutch territories. This edition was published in English to cater to international collectors.
Following my first catalog's release in 2015, I started speaking about various aspects of banknote collecting. Whether for small groups of 10 to 20 people or a full auditorium, I share anecdotes, interesting facts, and many images, often concluding with a Q&A session. These sessions frequently evolve into lively discussions on various related topics.
My latest publication, from 2024, involved extensive research and collaboration with Ad Lansen on the Dutch Trading Company and their cashier's notes issued in Asia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including the 1909 Shanghai Dollars. Later in 2024, I plan to release a second part of the NHM publication series, focusing on the exchange letters issued by NHM in Asia between approximately 1865 and 1921.
If you have any questions about my catalogs, the material I have written about, or my other publications, I warmly invite you to ask. You can reach me at trade fairs or via email at patrick@patrickp.nl. Contrary to what some might think, I enjoy these inquiries as they allow me to clarify my work or learn something new from the questions posed!
Please note that I do not store banknotes at my home, so it is not possible to collect banknotes from me directly. If you wish to inspect banknotes before purchasing, you can do so at a fair. Simply send me a message, and I will reserve the notes for you without any obligation to purchase.
