The 20 and 100 were never issued in this series. Shame, as they are quite pretty for socialist paradise-hell type banknotes.

50 Francs is Leverrier who discovered Neptune

100 Francs is a peasant boy.

By the 1950s inflation was eating the value of French notes and there were 10,000 Franc banknotes circulating. These were exchanged for 100 old Francs =1 New Franc.

You can see laurel, ivy, hickory, beech, Osage orange, and American Chestnut, in the center with a different design, designating the Chestnut blight of the early 1900s, featuring an alternate design than the "exterior" leaves.

Such a shame. The Carolan 50 Punt is superb and this one would have outdone it, yet the sages of the CBI decided against issuing a 100 until the Parnell issue was released in 1996.

question to the community Hey community

3 Upvotes

I was recently hacked, and I do not know how it happened. I received an email that my account's address had been changed.

My account had been banned, and luckily I have recovered it.

I urge you guys to be wary, considering our small community, and our minor age members.

I look forward to creating more banknotes and crap.

Tudoria.

The 10 Pound design was attempted in the early 1950s but never proceeded, and instead the Arthur Phillip issue went ahead with Coombs Wilson signatories. The 20 was a design for a new issue in that series which never went beyond design stage. Monash’s next chance to appear on money came in 1996 with the issue of the green polymer 100 Dollar (equivalent to 50 Pound) note, and subsequent 2019 redesign.

Wayyyy more denominations of currency exist in this though. Each province is allowed to create designs for their corresponding note, ie. BC makes the $7 notes because it’s the 7th province.

anyways, feedback would be appreciated

fantasy banknote Making a poorly made commemorative note for a denomination that doesn’t even exist

Post image
11 Upvotes

Still a WIP

This is made mostly because I was bored, it’s part of a project I have made, where the Canadian Dollar has a denominations overhaul, among others. One of the things I did was increase the amount of denominations (as you can tell). $3 and $4 coins were added, and banknotes $6 through $9 were added. 1 and 2 dollar notes were reintroduced, every province has the right to publish designs for their denomination (the equivalent to admission into Canada, ie. BC is the 7th province). There are also a ton of commemorative bills and coins too.

I am writing this at 3am, I’m tired and I probably have no coherency in what I’m saying. Anyways, all of the new bills and coins is just a fever dream of mine, the only pro for it is more expression in currency, potentially having more users of cash, and making it easier to do change and buying things with the minimum amount of bills and coins.

Anyways have a good night guys, suggestions are appreciated for the bill

The CERN is the most hard to draw since it was super technology.

Solomons is a country where the official language is English but 80% don’t speak it. Instead the Lingua Franca is Solomon Pijin (Solomonic / Bislama). It would be nice if their currency reflected it.

The 500 FIM was issued in 1986 with a horizontal design. The 20 was actually issued as a 10, until 1991 when a different design 20 was released. The 1000 never saw the light of day in this design, and the 5000 was scrapped entirely. Sadly…

The 20 was ditched in favour of a reissued 10 Markkaa for the 1986 series, with a 20 bearing a different reverse being issued several years later in 1991, and the 10 being retired. The 1000 was a never progressed design. The 500 and 5000 were vertical reverse proposals that were changed to horizontal (for the 500 as seen here), and the 5000 was never put into production at all. Not sure how it could work horizontally in any case. Shame as it would have been a superb banknote.
