Title

Currencies of the World

Description

<a href="{data}/news/old_attachments/images/NetherlandsP96-50Gulden-1982-donatedsrb_f.jpg"><img class="frame" align="left" src="{data}/news/old_attachments/images/NetherlandsP96-50Gulden-1982-donatedsrb_f_tn.jpg"></a>Here's a great reference site with scanned images of currencies from all around the world. It's called <a href="http://aes.iupui.edu/rwise/notedir/mappage.html" title="Ron Wise's Geographical Directory Of World Paper Money">Ron Wise's ... Paper Money</a>. Clicking through the continents, there seems to be unbelievable coverage here, with over 70 bills just from Tonga alone, for example. The one to the left is the beautiful 50 Gulden note (<a href="{data}/news/old_attachments/images/NetherlandsP96-50Gulden-1982-donatedsrb_b.jpg">back side</a>) from the Netherlands, which is, of course, no longer legal tender in that country with their conversion to the <a href="http://aes.iupui.edu/rwise/countries/Euro.html">Euro</a>. If you look at the <a href="http://aes.iupui.edu/rwise/banknotes/euro/EuroPNew-50Euro(P)-2002_f.jpg">replacement</a>, you'll have to agree that that's a pity.
