I think at this point in world history we should just stop idolizing people, whoever they are. I love the idea of having animals or cultural symbols in the notes (like canada's leaf, france's eiffel, US's burguers etc)

I don't know... I kinda like the $5 bill with the astronaut on it.

Animal money is best money!

I do think a narwhal bill could be especially majestic

Canada should've done that

And this is making me think the US could do national parks on our money. We could have colorful geyser money, but nooooo we needed a slaver on that bill…

I'm on team bird money but its not my call. The humans ones should also have the names for the sake of uneducated outsiders like me.

Damn some of these go hard as fuck

Everyone vote for Design J, pls

That's a pretty lame contest. Contestants were told to make notes from an exact list of famous Europeans or birds with some lame architecture on the other side. Can you imagine the excruciating process of finding and sorting either list - "Marie Curie can't be there because she left a negative comment around the cleanliness of her room at a Belgian conference!", "Our prime minister died from an allergic reaction to curlews!"

If I have enough money to vacation in the Maldives, this s a reasonable souvenir.

weirdly they feel a lot more sensible than actual whales, to me.
Whale sharks are effectively just an oversized non-bottom-feeding version of those fish you put in an aquarium, it's not strange for a fish to evolve like that.
But actual whales? Somehow a creature looking like a boar turned into pseudo-fishes that spend all their time under water while still having to breathe air, and became so ludicrously large that the smallest ones are human-sized. wtf

i think they did tone it back. the first impression on the previous ones was "oh my god that's so many colors". the second batch seem to make them toned down to a primary and a secondary color for each. i like them more. typography is ass in both though.

I did not realize Switzerland wasn't on the Euro. Anyway, your money does look cool!

How wholesome :)

That explains all the holes in your brain!

Beats euro bills. But euro bills aren't bad compared to most. They have color, artwork and growing sizes depending on their value.

My favorite European bill is the Swiss one though.

ECB heard this

Yeah ours are a bit dull, intentionally so with their landmarks. They are too big also could do with an all round 15% reduction.

Like this, you mean?

Rufiyaa, Rufiyaa, Ru-Fi-yaaaa!

Bangarang!

No no, it’s 1000 monies of course

I changed it to “one of the most beautiful” to be more accurate.

There are some really beautiful notes there.
