This site has excellent information on hell bank notes in general:

The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) ( http://www.unece.org/stats/data.htm ) provides statistics on European and North American countries.
You can also contact the Library of Parliament, the official depository for the publications of the UN ( http://www.eduskunta.fi/kirjasto/Welcome-eng.html ) or the United Nations University, WIDER ( http://www.wider.unu.edu ) in Helsinki. Their library focuses on developing countries, but they also provide the official statistics of the UN.

You certainly get a better answer to your question if you send it to the Ask Librarian -service of the Library of COngress: http://www.loc.gov/rr/askalib/
