Most Attractive World Banknotes?

I like to see notes I have used in circulation, the Sonnenbloom note is one I have used

What is fascinating about some of Oxenaar's designs is that he managed to leave (in a very subtle way) various personal "traces". Such as his own fingerprint, or his girlfriend's rabbit, or names of friends and family. See this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5BlybJGiiU

Anyone else getting the feeling that most of the notes in this thread really aren't the most attractive world banknotes?

Threadjacked, we've been threadjacked!

 

"Most attractive" is very subjective. Could be based on engraving, colorful, etc. or a combination of these.

 

All the nicest notes are some shade of green. Money should be green.

 

... and denominated in US dollars, I know.

I agree - when I started the thread people starting posting was I would expect - many attractive French printed notes (Banque de France, Indochina, overseas, etc). It seemed to get sidetracked after awhile with common, modern issue notes which weren't very spectacular.

I'll refresh the thread as I don't believe this was posted either, the 1945 100 Livres, commonly argued as the most beautiful banknote:

Well yes US notes are gorgeous but theres a lot of forign notes here that are nice shades of green.

 

Banknotegallery, is that a new note coming soon? If not what year is it? I did a search on Polish 500 Zloty and didn't come up with this design. I'd like to find one with AA prefix. Really nice design.

 

Super nice redseals. I was looking for it but can't find it. What does something like that go for? Nice!

 

As far as I know, Andrzej Heidrich designed it as a future part of the current Polish Rulers series. However, the highest denomination is the 200 złotych note ...

I hope it becomes available sometime. It's got some nice color and a nice design. It's got that whole queen thing going on. Gosh I think that's a queen. I have to look around to see if they have set a date for that one.
I see this in Wikipedia, but maybe they're wrong
"In 1995, notes (dated 1994) were introduced in denominations of 10 (colloquially called dycha), 20, 50 (two varieties, one of which was issued for collectors), 100 (colloquially called stówa or bańka) and 200 złotych. A few years after redenomination in 1995, the National Bank of Poland wanted to introduce a 500 złotych banknote, but a detailed economic analysis has shown that there is no such need, and the plans were abandoned.[SUP][/SUP]"

 

Easily $20K USD or more in decent condition. And like you say, you can't find them.

Here another note from Lebanon, a bit more available:
