This stunning 2020 Lebanon 100,000 Livres (P-99) is a recent addition to my collection. It commemorates 100 years since the founding of the Greater State of Lebanon. The obverse depicts Parliament Square, the baptistry of Eglise Saint Jean Marc (Cathedral) in Byblos, and the Lebanon cedar. The reverse features the Arches of Pigeon Rocks in Beirut and a Phoenician merchant ship.

First contribution to this thread! Here is a 1000 Kip note from Laos dated 2020:

Nice Commemorative high denomination from Lebanon & 1000 Kip from Laos!
to the thread @Spence!

This little note is taking it to the opposite end of the spectrum (low value). It must have been a big surprise to Nicaraguans as a 5 Cordoba would have only been worth about 15 cents (USD) when it came out 5 years ago. The last time Nicaraguans seen a 5 Cordobas note issued was in 1995 (or 3 decades ago). It marks the 60th anniversary of their central Bank & must have been printed more as a promotional gimmick than serious currency to be used. Anyway, here it is:
Nicaragua 5 Cordobas P-219 (printed in 2019 but released in 2020 according to Numista):

Thanks, all! Welcome aboard the banknote train, Spence! Nice to see a circulated note for the first time.

Great Nicaraguan banknote with an interesting backstory, walk2dwater! I enjoy the new series of notes from Nicaragua.

I don't have much paper money, but what I do have is all circulated.

Coincidentally, the only banknote I have for 2019 is a Nicaragua 20 Córdobas (P-210a). The obverse features Magdala Moravian Church in Pearl Lagoon, while the reverse depicts Palo de Mayo (Maypole) dancers. It's an interesting juxtaposition.

-That's a really interesting design. Lots of action on the reverse.

Here's my 2 cents (or 100 Naira P-41) for 2019:

I bought this Nigerian banknote because its historically (or technically) significant in that its the first banknote to feature a QR code. Originally, the code led one to a website which explained that it commemorated Nigeria's 100 years of existence. It was first introduced in 2014 but they have continued to reprint it (in 2019, 2021, 2022 & 2024). Due to hyperinflation, the 100 Naira cannot be worth much (presently 100 Naira is worth $.07 USD or 7 cents)!

2018

Right?
Here's a common note for us, the Bank of Canada new vertical $10 which was introduced in 2018 (Charlton catalogue BC-37 or P-W113 for the new pick code):
How-Far-Back-Can-We-Go?---With-Banknotes!-Third-Edition
How-Far-Back-Can-We-Go?---With-Banknotes!-Third-Edition
The obverse features Viola Desmond an East Coast lady who stood up for her rights to watch a movie in the main section of the cinema (rather than a segregated "Blacks only" section) & was jailed. Our National Museum for Human Rights, located in Winnipeg, Manitoba is part of the design on the reverse. It is very colourful & attractive note to view in person due to the use of many colours (unlike the dull 2-tone 2013 $10 with John A Mcdonald that it replaced). However, TENS are the least used denomination in Canada right now so you're more likely to get 2 FIVES in change since everyday cash transactions are more tricky to do as we rapidly advance towards cashless transactions.

Revised:
Forgot I also won these 2 notes (also released in 2018) before my trip to Thailand:
P-136b 50 Baht
How-Far-Back-Can-We-Go?---With-Banknotes!-Third-Edition
P-137b 100 Baht
How-Far-Back-Can-We-Go?---With-Banknotes!-Third-Edition
How-Far-Back-Can-We-Go?---With-Banknotes!-Third-Edition
The 50 Baht had the value of a $2.50 USD but we did not see it as commonly used as the 20 Baht nor the 100 Baht (about $5 during our trip). I felt fortunate when I won the 100 Baht radar as it also has short lived Predee Daochai signature (left panel) which lasted for a few prefixes (& I only found 1 ragged example on our visit). Both 50 & 100 denominations were recently converted to polymer (like the 20 Baht).

Wonderful banknotes and commentary, walk2dwater! The Canada $10 is a beautiful note, and I agree that it's better than its predecessor. I don't have any examples of the newest Canadian series. . . I should keep an eye out for them.

For 2018 I have a Macedonia 10 Denari (P-25), which shows the torso of a statue of Egyptian Goddess Isida on the obverse. The reverse has a splendid peacock mosaic. A year after this banknote was issued, the country changed its name to North Macedonia. However, unlike Numista, I classify this banknote under its issuing name of Macedonia. I suppose it's semantics, but to me it doesn't make sense to attribute banknotes to the current country name if they were issued under a different name.

My other banknote from 2018 is a Yemen 200 Rials P-38(2), issued by the Central Bank of Yemen in Aden. The obverse depicts the Zabid fortress, an UNESCO World Heritage Site, while the reverse shows Hauf National Park. Due to the ongoing civil war, this currency is only legal tender in the areas controlled by the internationally-recognized Republic of Yemen and faces rampant inflation. Aden fell to rebels earlier this month.
