Today is 11.11.11…..

Hi !

Today is very special date 11.11.11, eagerly awaited by all especially the philatelic community all over the world. At 11.11.11 on 11.11.11, the time and date will be a perfect same-numbered palindrome, reading the same backwards as forwards, an event which can only happen on one day every 100 years !

It is a special event for philatelists to get their covers cancelled with date 11.11.11 and send to their friends. I have also prepared some covers for my friends and will try to send them with special pictorial cancellation of Hidimba Temple, Manali. So I will be visiting Manali for 11.11.11 special cancellation …this will be purely a philatelic visit !!

This is all for today….Have a great time and celebrate the very very special date 11.11.11 !!

Prof.V.S.Yalvigi of Bangalore has designed four special covers for the forthcoming special palindrome date 11.11.11 . Each cover with cancellation costs Rs50/- For more details contact Prof V.S.Yalvigi email : vsyal2001@yahoo.com View : design of all 4 covers

Currency notes of number 11-11-11

Today is 11.11.11. The date is a perfect same-numbered palindrome, reading the same backwards as forwards. It is an event which can only happen on one day every 100 years and which will not come around again in the lifetime of most of us. This date is so unusual as 11.11.11 is the only double-figure palindromic date, since there is no 22nd month.

I collect currency notes, specially of fancy numbers. I have notes of this unique number 111111 in all the denominations i.e. Re. 1/-, Rs. 2/-, Rs. 5/-, Rs. 10/- , Rs. 20/-, Rs. 50, Rs. 100/-, Rs. 500/- and Rs. 1000/-. I am exhibiting here some of such notes.
