I saw this 50 Kroner from Norway & thought there must be a thread featuring notes with a lighthouse, right? Well, apparently not (unless discussing banknote sleeves). So here's a pretty common P-53 50 Kroner from Norway featuring a lighthouse:  Anyone else care to share? Edited by walk2dwater

Here's a lighthouse on the opposite shore, featured on the reverse of this Bank of Mauritius 5 Rupee:  Also on the front of this $50 from Bahamas (P-56 left side below 50 Marker):  On the back of this polymer $20 from Bermuda:  Edited by walk2dwater

Great eye @NumisRob! I see it. I reminds me of this Jamaican One Dollar (which I missed at first glance).  The tiny lighthouse can be seen on the point of the furthest island (parcel of land) in the background directly below the "CA" of "JAMAICA" |

Some of the lighthouses are pretty hard to notice :)

Nice topic! I'll have to go through my world notes collection yet again. I'm sure at least ONE vingnette has a lighthouse!  |

I really love lighthouses! I went through my collection and found a few. - Among them is the "Lighthouse of Lighthouses" on the Dutch 250 guilder note, P-98a. There's another one on the front of the note. - There's also one on the Bermuda 5 dollar note, P-29b, which is also featured on P-51a. - One is somewhat subtle on the Argentinian note, P-362a. - Beautifully situated on a high cliff, the Saint Corbière Lighthouse on Jersey, P-27a. - The "Hanois Lighthouse" is on the Guernsey 5 pound note, P-56a, among others. - Finally, the 18th-century Maiden Tower (K#305;z Kulesi), or Leander's Tower, in the Bosphorus in Turkey, P-186.         |

That 250 Gulden note is extremely valuable. I only was able to buy one myself when I started to make good money.
