I believe this figure is also seen on some stock certificates of the US as well.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]834023[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>This series of Brazilian notes is very cheap and very beautiful. Each denomination has a different, bright color with your classic ABNC background engraving and pretty cool figure on the back.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
