For some reason, I really like having the reverse side being in portrait orientation. I wish more notes were designed that way.
No argument here.
Seems like Brazilian currency. We have animals in the notes too and the sea turtle is one of them
Maldives mentioned
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
Fun Fact: Euro banknotes are currently getting a new design
Damn some of these go hard as fuck
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!
Everyone vote for Design J, pls
J’s bird side amd A’s building side would be perfect.
I perfer H.
If only in D the stripe wouldnt be in the middle!! Then D would be the supirior option!
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.
I changed it to “one of the most beautiful” to be more accurate.
makes sense. It’s very beautiful, but you can’t claim it’s the most beautiful without specifying a source that’s not “me”.
There are some really beautiful notes there.
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”).
No no, it’s 1000 monies of course
Rufiyaa, Rufiyaa, Ru-Fi-yaaaa!
Bangarang!
You could hold up a turd in that picture background and I’d still think it was a good picture
Beats any Euro banknote for sure.
Yeah ours are a bit dull, intentionally so with their landmarks. They are too big also could do with an all round 15% reduction.
Beats euro bills. But euro bills aren’t bad compared to most. They have color, artwork and growing sizes depending on their value.
My favorite European bill is the Swiss one though.
I kinda like the differing sizes as it makes identification easier.
Personally tho, I wish coinage was more common. Not cents, but whole values as I think they’re easy to carry for small denominations and pay with.
I hate having to stand at the counter trying to shove bills that crinkle and fold into my wallet while someone waits behind me.
bills that crinkle
Never had that issue with euro bills tbh but i can see it happen with dollars and all those shitty bills
I always shove my change in my pocket and deal with it later.
It’s the Euro coins that are nice, and even that only for those from some countries (one side of Euro coins varies depending on the country that issued them).
That is very beautiful
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.
Australian money is pretty cool looking too.
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.
looks it up
Over 3cm? That’s insane! 😄
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.

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
