Hi Bill,

I can't specifically recall any antiquarians/dealers in Varna BUT if you are foolish enough to change money with the street money changers in Varna, you will almost certainly receive a wide range of obsolete Bulgarian banknotes (and possibly those of other countries).....

You'll find images of old Bulgarian notes HERE & information from the Bulgarian National Bank HERE

Got beaten to it, was going to say -

"Change money in the street, but specify they give you obsolete leva as opposed to Russian roubles or Yugoslav dinar.

Seriously, I would ask those fonts of all wisdom - taxi drivers.

They know, y'know!"

Peter
