New 5 euros banknote

[SaskGuy]

I like it!
It's certainly a lot nicer than what Canada has had for the past 10-15 years... ours looks like play money now.

That would be grossly unfair on the Belgians.

Not at all.

I've always thought that PAPER CURRENCY has some of the most interesting artwork of anything in the world which people are exposed to in everyday life. Usually the artwork is intricate (with the "mother of invention" here being, partially, the need to make counterfeiting difficult), there is often A LOT of historical significance and symbolism, etc.

I used to have a world currency website bookmarked, but it no longer exists. I also checked it at archive.org and the archives don't go down to the level of the actual thumbnails or pictures. The below website, when you click on a country, brings up thumbnails for the paper money from the country you've chosen, very convenient and beautiful.

And the Swedes get this guy:

The second picture is of Anders Behring Breivik, the Norwegian mass murderer. I doubt he'll be appearing on any of their Krone banknotes any time soon.
