Condition report:
The paper currency shows varying degrees of circulation wear. The Turkish 100,000 Lira note exhibits heavy creasing, multiple vertical and horizontal folds, and some staining (photo 1). The US one-dollar bills and Malaysian 50 Ringgit note show lighter handling wear with standard folding and minor edge creasing (photo 1). The commemorative coins remain housed in their original plastic-faced card packaging, though the plastic shows some surface scuffing and the cards have minor corner wear (photo 2). The loose and bagged coins demonstrate typical oxidation, surface toning, and signs of circulation consistent with age (photo 5).
