There is also Tuvan paper money about, but it is extremely rare. Thanks to Alan Leighton for these scans of a 1940 Tuvan banknote
Tuvan coins occasionally show up on ebay...that's where I found this one. The Krause catalog lists 9 different coins (7 different designs) issued in 1933 and 1934.
Seek out the Friends of Tuva for neat maps of Tuva, postcards of Tuvan artifacts. Eric has done an incredible job with the Tuva Trader, making all kinds of Tuvan materials available to us.
I hope you've enjoyed what I've put together here, and that my frustration over Tuva's treatment in the US stamp catalogs hasn't overshadowed the sense of joy and fun that these stamps give me, and I hope have given you.
