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!
Canada could have had this…
We use pics of asshole PMs and the Queen instead.
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.
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.
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 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
They make it real pretty so people don’t realize it’s a worthless piece of paper used for the violent control of humanity.
Fun Fact: Euro banknotes are currently getting a new design
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.
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.
Everyone vote for Design J, pls
J’s bird side amd A’s building side would be perfect.
J and A are my favorites
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
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.
“Gimmie a thousand turtles” we’d say, and they’d reply with “I just have a thousand sharks”.
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.
No argument here.
For some reason, I really like having the reverse side being in portrait orientation. I wish more notes were designed that way.
Seems like Brazilian currency. We have animals in the notes too and the sea turtle is one of them

Aussie coins more so than their banknotes IMO
Cool but ridiculous. The 50¢ piece is out of control with the size
You’re intimidated by its geometric majesty.
Look at it, though, it has a kangaroo on it and everything, and it’s fucking dodecagonal
It’s great though! I can tell exactly how much I have in my pockets without looking!
Why, because they tear a giant hole in your pocket with the weight so you know you have no coins in there? ;)
Japan made all their coins identifiable by touch as well. There’s a small and big one, then for the 4 with similar sizes 2 have milled edges and 2 have holes.
looks it up
Over 3cm? That’s insane! 😄
STFU, you’re going to make this a challenge for the orange one to put more of his face everywhere thinking it’s “beautiful”
A face so beautiful only a mother could love it
This pic reminds me of Capt Pike from the Star Trek pilot.
That character is from the initially-unaired pilot (“The Cage”), but that shot (and actor) is from “The Menagerie” - a 2-part episode from the first season that re-used scenes from The Cage as flashbacks.
They had Pike injured and in the wheelchair so they could use makeup and the “beep” communications to disguise the fact that the actor playing him was different in the newly-filmed scenes versus those from the flashbacks.
Thx, did not know that. Always nice to find out something new about Trek.
Why is the orange child rapist wearing earrings?
Maldives mentioned
Most beautiful of all, so far!
Just wait till big daddy T gets his face on the 1,000 USD bill.
The beauty then will be euge!
/s (also sorry for ruining an otherwise nice post but I couldn’t resist. Feel free to downvote this into oblivion)
Like this, you mean?
The beauty is difficult to behold.
