      I changed it to “one of the most beautiful” to be more accurate.

        makes sense. It’s very beautiful, but you can’t claim it’s the most beautiful without specifying a source that’s not “me”.

    Cool. 1000 MVR is currently about $65 USD.

    So for $130 plus the cost of framing, you can display both sides of the currency as art in your house.

      Beats euro bills. But euro bills aren’t bad compared to most. They have color, artwork and growing sizes depending on their value.

      My favorite European bill is the Swiss one though.

        I kinda like the differing sizes as it makes identification easier.

        Personally tho, I wish coinage was more common. Not cents, but whole values as I think they’re easy to carry for small denominations and pay with.

        I hate having to stand at the counter trying to shove bills that crinkle and fold into my wallet while someone waits behind me.

        It’s the Euro coins that are nice, and even that only for those from some countries (one side of Euro coins varies depending on the country that issued them).

            Why, because they tear a giant hole in your pocket with the weight so you know you have no coins in there? ;)

            Japan made all their coins identifiable by touch as well. There’s a small and big one, then for the 4 with similar sizes 2 have milled edges and 2 have holes.

          Not having been on Reddit for years, I missed it entirely. And it’s a good one, it brought some beauty into my scroll. OP has kindly allowed those of us not on the digital equivalent of a Superfund site to be able to enjoy it too.

          Maybe what really should have been left on Reddit was the desire to personally police what others choose to post instead of simply appreciating it, or not, and then moving on.

                Exactly, it’s always going to be someone’s first time seeing something even if it’s been around forever. People that are annoyed should just move on. Animal money is awesome and I enjoy seeing it come up now and then. And I also enjoy the people that get happy for seeing it.

          That character is from the initially-unaired pilot (“The Cage”), but that shot (and actor) is from “The Menagerie” - a 2-part episode from the first season that re-used scenes from The Cage as flashbacks.

          They had Pike injured and in the wheelchair so they could use makeup and the “beep” communications to disguise the fact that the actor playing him was different in the newly-filmed scenes versus those from the flashbacks.

    Could’ve just said “The 1000 rufiyaa banknote” on the title.

    It’s right there on the note in latin characters (on the left picture, below the top-right “1000”).
