thai-vic Pillar of the Community Thailand 1509 Posts	Posted 05/10/2014 04:06 am Continuing my zoological themed banknotes here are the insects. Surprisingly rare on banknotes I've found. Butterflies from Mexico and various types on Sri Lankan notes. Some kind of fire beetle from Suriname And my personal favourite this delightful spider from Scotland So does anyone have any others?

thai-vic Pillar of the Community Thailand 1509 Posts	Posted 05/10/2014 05:19 am ASLAN, I think you'll find that's a Maori koruru (Gable mask) rather than a butterfly and represents the face of an honoured ancestor. Report this Post to the Staff

arianzo Pillar of the Community Canada 2124 Posts	Posted 05/10/2014 2:34 pm I don't think I have neither I'm interested but I like very much the Mexican bill. Report this Post to the Staff
Libertad Pillar of the Community Canada 3692 Posts	Posted 05/10/2014 2:39 pm Vic, I think you have the newer 2012 Mexico 50 pesos. Now all you need is the older versions (2004, 2006...). It is almost identical except that the windows on the newer bill are more colorful (plus it is embossed). Edited by Libertad 05/10/2014 2:44 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Dave L Valued Member United States 484 Posts	Posted 05/10/2014 9:22 pm I've always liked these two notes - Sweden and Faeroe Islands Report this Post to the Staff
Dave M Valued Member United States 67 Posts	Posted 05/10/2014 10:38 pm Really nice detail on those, Dave. Here's a note from France, using paper watermarked with the outline of a bee. You can see it best at the 7 o'clock position from the '0.50'. This is a Chamber of Commerce issue, and of course bees represent doing work, keeping busy, and have always been a symbol of commerce.
