    European banknotes picture thread

    I just realised that:

    - the Euro sucks
    - Euro banknotes suck

    €


    Post a picture of your country's banknotes before the Euro invasion!

    1000 Lire

    1980

    Marco Polo, er, traveller



    1990

    Maria Montessori, educator of mentally retarded children




    2000 Lire

    Guglielmo Marconi, inventor of the radiotelegraph (down Nikola Tesla's throat)




    5000 Lire

    Vincenzo Bellini, musician




    10000 Lire

    Alessandro Volta, inventor of the battery




    50000 Lire

    Gian Lorenzo Bernini, painter, sculptor and architect




    100000 Lire

    Caravaggio, painter




    500000 Lire

    Raffaello, painter




    of course it's big as it was my favourite banknote


    now, let's see what do we have


    arches and aqueducts




    purple goth domes!






    confessionals




    a gay renaissance-style entrance door



    I don't know what that is




    I have NO idea what that is!

    I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

              I recall once reading that the bridges on some of the euro notes, if actually built, would be structurally unstable.

                Upon the introduction of the euro we had the following bills in circulation:

                Last series:
                Designer: Jaap Drupsteen










                previous series:
                Designer: R. (Ootje) Oxenaar








                Apart from the Fl 1000,- (=$500) I have the bills framed and hanging on the wall.

                      The Italian Euro bills look nicer then the Lira bills IMO.

                          Call this another euro myth, because those things have been built (at least bridges in those styles) and are still standing

                            This alone should be reason for you to stop worrying and love the euro.
