Requesting Research Help - Stamps Used As Currency

Hello,

I am doing research for a new book on postage currency, which I definite as either:

-Stamps that circulated as money as-is (Serbia 1915 issue for example)
-Currency based on postally used stamps with differences (Russia/Ukraine with inscription on back, Greece 10 Lepta 1922 etc etc)
-"Banknotes" with stamps affixed for verification (Marshall Hole issues from the Boer War)

I am looking for anything that would fall in these three categories, including oddities, errors, imperforates, specimens etc etc. My research does not include banknotes printed in the shape/form of stamps but had otherwise no postal relation, nor do I include encased postage as that would be enough for a book on its own. I have a fairly good idea of what exists but there might be local issues I am missing. If you have anything that you think would fall in this category, I would appreciate a picture (credit given, of course).

Also if anyone has any newspaper articles and other sources showing how these were used that would be fantastic. Because a lot of these circulated in countries whose language I don't speak, I have found very few contemporary sources.

Thanks in advance,

Dennis

Here is a good start for USA matter: http://www.coin-currency.com/page173.html for US postal currency.

See Frame 4 of my paying the postage exhibit here for several examples:

The research does not include fractional currency, as these were never used postally even though the basic designs might have been similar. Encased postage is also not included, as I consider those more related to coins and there is a plethora of reference works out there already.

Greetings. Did New Republic (now part of S. Africa) use this kind of thing? I have a 1 d. stamp issued in the standard design from 1886 but it is printed on thick paper - like a card. There is gum on the back side, and it is perforated.
