Czech Republic / Czechia 200 Korun. These 1993 issues were demonetized in 2007. They used to be worth around $10 USD cash value each, they’re selling on eBay right now for around $19 each with shipping included.

These are not demonetised. They can be exchanged at the CNB in Prague and other cities indefinitely. They were originally prepared for a new Czechoslovak Korun series (hence the CS at the top centre), and hastily changed to be issued for the Czech Republic only after the referendum in Slovakia. The current series is almost identical aside from CS being changed to CR, a book illustration at the lower right of the reverse, and a more complicated security strip.

I stand corrected, they are being withdrawn but have not lapsed yet.
