Your Iceland bill is truly a fashion statement. Believe it guys. It takes gals a little time to look fashionable

 

A flip through my currency album just now to find notes with women on them, both real people and allegorical representations.

Pictures are crappy - hastily taken just now - and not scaled relative to each other. I will get around to properly scanning my collection sometime.

These are all accumulated from family over the years. The bottom note is the only one in this picture that I obtained from circulation.

 

I like these older designs too, like this P-70 500 Dinara
from Yugoslavia:

or this 5 Peseta silver certificate (P-85) from Spain:


or this 5 Pound P-371 from Great Britain:
