They make it real pretty so people don’t realize it’s a worthless piece of paper used for the violent control of humanity.
Europe: okay hold my beer with my new bills coming out
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.
I did not realize Switzerland wasn’t on the Euro. Anyway, your money does look cool!
Curaçao and Sint Maarten’s Caribbean guilder, especially the obverse sides with fish, shells, turtle; are also beautiful: https://www.global-currency.com/currency-news/cbcs-reveal-of-the-caribbean-guilder-frame-at-1m22ss.jpg
“Gimmie a thousand turtles” we’d say, and they’d reply with “I just have a thousand sharks”.
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.
Fun Fact: Euro banknotes are currently getting a new design
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.
That’s the best part. They have always been.
Yeah! Dont need national symbols on bills. But the coins! Ooh that is where the fun begins! Especially the special edition coins nations make!
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.
Everyone vote for Design J, pls
J and A are my favorites
I perfer H.
If only in D the stripe wouldnt be in the middle!! Then D would be the supirior option!
J’s bird side amd A’s building side would be perfect.
Damn some of these go hard as fuck
Canada could have had this…
We use pics of asshole PMs and the Queen instead.
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 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)
burguers
Made me re-read this whole comment in a thick French accent
I was thinking this is more to the point.
Thank you for blessing me with these fond memories from my childhood 🥹
How else would the plebes know who their betters are?!
Australia got glow in the dark dinosaurs.
Ed: wait no Canada got the glow in the dark dinosaurs and Australia got regular non glowing ones.
I don’t know… I kinda like the $5 bill with the astronaut on it.
Over a badass wolf? Put the astronaut on a coin nobody uses and move on.
Compromise: Wolf astronaut.
Animal money is best money!
I do think a narwhal bill could be especially majestic
No argument here.
I can’t believe whale sharks are even real
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
Cool. 1000 MVR is currently about $65 USD.
So for $130 plus the cost of framing, you can display both sides of the currency as art in your house.
€115
If I have enough money to vacation in the Maldives, this s a reasonable souvenir.
For some reason, I really like having the reverse side being in portrait orientation. I wish more notes were designed that way.
I have one of these to snort coke with.
How wholesome :)
That explains all the holes in your brain!

Nailed it
Seems like Brazilian currency. We have animals in the notes too and the sea turtle is one of them
Maldives mentioned
