      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)

      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…

      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!”

        At least countries can put whatever they want on their own euro coins. These notes just scream designed by a committee of bureaucrats.

    USA: Best we can do is droopy-eyed, rich, white, rapist, enslaver men with powdered wigs who by todays standards might be the most unfuckable men who ever lived. Also some illuminati symbols to troll the public about our psuedo-secret bank club full of pedophile extortionists.

    I think our current Swiss ones are pretty neat too:

    The concept winner of the new series was not really my favourite, too much white, but maybe they will tone it back a bit

      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.

    Could’ve just said “The 1000 rufiyaa banknote” on the title.

    It’s right there on the note in latin characters (on the left picture, below the top-right “1000”).

    Mind you maybe it’s just me who finds it wierd to talk about a currency and not actually saying its name.
