Interesting article in this week's E-Sylum about a new banknote in Iran, a 200,000 Toman / 2 Million Rials note: coinbooks.org/v28/esylum_v28n1

Numista and XE list the exchange rate at $47 USD for the new note: xe.com/en-au/currencyconverter

However the article claims that rampant inflation mean it is worth less than $2!

💸 The first paper money of the Ottoman Empire. It was printed in Istanbul in 1789. These banknotes were issued to finance the Ottoman Empire during the 1797-1798 Ottoman-Russian War. #PaperMoney #Banknote #FinanceHistory

If someone were to make a #Monero-backed #banknote, i'm shure they'd put #McAfee on the front of it!

I mean, he's been a mad lad for ages...

If you're a collector (or just interested in their imagery/symbology), here's a really good deepdive (400-page English PDF) into banknote design from De Nederlandsche Bank - "Designing Banknote Identity".

Have you got half a #banknote from #Finland? It might have been cut up at the government's instruction! More in this week's E-Sylum newsletter: coinbooks.org/v27/club_nbs_esy

@SuperDicq @iro_miya I mean the entire DN already uses it...

I think it's only a matter of time till some "Bank" will issue #Monero-backed banknotes...

Or rather #PaperWallets in the design of a #banknote...

@typeoff Take my money! I mean: his money!

Obverse of the 100 Deutsche Mark banknote first issued by West Germany’s Deutsche Bundesbank on 26 February 1962, and in circulation until 30 June 1995. The design by Swiss graphic artist Hermann Eidenbenz features a portrait of cosmograph Sebastian Münster (1488–1552), originally by Christoph Amberger (1552).

Bucks are the epitome of . A 10000 Dollar Trump is literally worth nothing. How can Trump claim to handle inflation better than anyone else when he or his companions are selling this worthless selfprinted ?

Thompson's Coins of Melbourne, #Australia regularly post interesting YouTube videos. They just posted one on a fascinating Australian #banknote I'd never heard of before - an early polymer test banknote from the 1970s! Yes, that early! Australia did issue the world's first circulation polymer banknote - but not until 1988, so this is an amazing piece of history. Check it out here: youtube.com/watch?v=oh4_dTzIht

Screen grab from Matt's video showing the early note which is a grey-blue colour with black text and birds, a large clear strip which originally had a hologram design, and it was a $50 note
