    Ok, I agree that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I have so many favorite banknotes I can't even begin to think about which is my real favorite. So post some of your beautiful banknotes. Here is one of mine.

    What are you calling beautiful? Nice colors or what is beautiful to us, the individual?

    How about a little bit of anything and everything. I especially like your large U.S. notes RickyB. I have a handful, but nothing even close to the grades that you have. I think the Large U.S. notes are some of the most beautiful notes of all. Too bad they don't make em like they used to.

    As you say, "eye of the beholder", but I've seen some quite interesting discussions on photography forums of trying to codify "beauty". As we know there certainly are strong trends on what folks do and don't think is beautiful. Anyway, leave it to photographers, or maybe philosophers, to come up with the answer.

    I will propose one I've offered up before, the French 5000F Flameng note. To me this is just stunning - can you imagine going to the bank one day, and they hand you a couple of these when you cash your paycheck?

    After DM posts his Flameng 5K note, you ponder, why bother posting in this thread?:eek:

    I dare say you have a reputation of posting many, many beautiful notes, and I never tire of them! The Flameng happens to be my favorite from my collection, but there are certainly plenty of other beautiful notes we all like to see :goofer:

    RickieB- I've never seen U.S. notes that old. FUNNY MONEY my dad used to say!

    I found some notes here, at least they are colorful but not valuable.

    RickyB, now that's what I call a thing of beauty!!! Hey anytime you feel like helping a fellow Marine out, feel free to send a few of those my way. LOL
    De Orc, I've tried 4 times to get a larger photo of that note, but I can't seem to do it, I must be doing something wrong. I try to increase the size and it must be automatically resized down to about 5kb.
