All issued 1928-39, too lazy to look up the Pick#s!
Some fun facts; the Banque d'Indochine issued banknotes not just for French Indochina, but for all French colonies east of Suez except Madagascar and Réunion. It continued operating long after 1954, when the constituent parts of Indochina became fully independent, to this day after several mergers.

引用する: "Dave Angel"I didn't get them because they were replacements, that I found out years later. But the thing is that I don't think I've seen a single 5 kip note that doesn't have a CA number. That's the only reason I'm questioning it.引用する: "ngdawa"Well, that is how they are described & listed.

引用する: "ngdawa"These are not actually 'replacement' banknotes, they are 'remainder' banknotes, prepared for issue but unissued for one reason or another.

There are three different 1979 5 kip notes starting with the CA serial.
Difference is, one has the wording as 'kip' (which is the remainder note) and the other note has the wording as 'keup' which is the note that was actually issued. The 3rd has 'kip' (corrected) instead of 'keup'.
Confusing.
I'll maybe need to learn the Laos language to see if my note says kip or keup.
The one to look out for is the 4th note, the Specimen, which maybe sells for $10

No worries at all! 
Back on topic though; here is a ND 1927 1 piastre:
And this is a transitional issue from 1953; the design has been used since 1936 but this is the last time it was, and insead of "Banque d'Indochine" it says "Institut d'Émission des États de Cambodge, du Laos et du Viet-nam".

South Vietnam 200 Dong (P-32a) and 500 Dong (P-33a)
I have always loved the reverse of these banknotes, especially the tiger.
I do not own a banknote from Indochina. Anyone have a spare, please send it my way
