I love all that knot work in the designs.

Walk2dwater - nice HSBC note there. I've always rather liked HK notes for some reason.

I "hear you" DaveL. I feel that Macau, HK & Singapore have produced some gorgeous banknote designs. These nation-states seem to merge ancient Asiatic symbolism (amidst vivid splashes of colour) with hints of a more industrial (&/or an imperial) past.

What an interesting contrast between the two portraits. The Hungarian lady looks aristocratic and hopeful while the Romanian gent appears sad and almost remorseful (like he's reflecting on the good old days).

There's no information on who the lady on the Hungarian banknote is, the Romanian man was a renowned Poet, Philosopher & Playwright in his country. As an aside, there are 2 versions of the Hungarian 500 pengo banknote, on the back there is Russian script, one version of the note has a spelling error.
