Good community website for world currency collecting?

Question

Looking for a community-generated website (for example a wiki) dedicated to world coin and banknote collecting that has thorough info on coins and notes.

For example one issue I have with banknoteworld.com is that while they have a good set of scanned bills, they don't include a lot of detailed info -- like watermark, ultraviolet, other security features, description of bill. Meanwhile banknotes.com has some of this info but is not nearly exhaustive. Any site -- say a numismatic or notaphilic wiki -- that does better than these?

When it come to world coins and currency I have found no sites that give a lot of detail. Most of the books on the subjects are copyrighted. It takes 3 books to cove world currency from the beginning in China to this day. They are also not right all the time either. I have 5 very large books and 3 DVD'd that cover coins from 1601-2007 again I have found mistakes that they fix sooner or later. I think all you will find is sites that have a little here and there. I collect Chinese Cash coins and finally there are some sites available but it is a specialized field and does not cover all cash coins from Asia. It may take some time to have what you want and it may not be free.
