I remember these well. It was always cool to get fresh money in a new country at an exchange or bank.
Kuna still lives on in our hearts.
It’s interesting that most of these are variations of crown, pound, mark or lira.
The finnish 100mk one is the best, zero fucks given about hairdo
Have to say if someone gave me that dutch gulden bill and called it legal tender I’d call bullshit on that… looks mor like a coupon or lottery ticket or something
I was looking forward to seeing the colourful Dutch money again. I was not disappointed.
The bills were certainly more beautiful before, i understand why we have what we have but man they are boring
Best hair – Estonia.
I hate the euro as a currency so much. Soulless, traditionless shit. Might be a hot take here but so be it
Damn Italy’s old currency wasn’t worth much.
love the Magritte Belgian franc
Fun fact: Croatians called the 2 kuna coins “tuna” and there was a fish on it.
The Dutch bill is an abomination
Clara Schumann, my beloved
ach, der Schilling…❤️💯
Latvian Lats and Lithuanian Litas sound so unreal. Like some B category writers built up our world and said “oh yes, there live the Brits, their coin is the British Bret, and then there is also the French Franc (oh wait) and the German Germ. Don’t forget the Polish Pole either.”
I remember going on vacation to Italy as a kid. My dad was so proud to be able to call himself a millionaire 🤣
I’ve started a banknote collection and one of my goals is to collect as much of these phased out currencies as possible. Their designs are all so cool. The Euro certainly has its benefits but they are a bit boring.
Hello,
Why are coins made by EU countries and represent the country but not the banknotes?
It would be nice to have euros with a trace of the issuing country.
I still remember what a pain it was having to switch currencies for what felt like every 50-100 km travelled. The unified currency is arguably the EU’s greatest example of co-operation. At least everybody agreed on something!
As someone who was born after the switch good riddance I say.
I miss the D-Mark and the Gulden. Those are so nice childhood memories.
Euro kills currencies.
I like the Dutch one a lot
God bless polish zlotys 😭🙏
Netherlands and Cyprus are my favourite
Dutch notes sure were colorful
When I look at all these banknotes, I wonder how it was possible to have business with other countries back then 😅 Long live to the Euro!
One euro to rule them all
I like the Cypriot pound, it makes it obvious that li(b)ra and pound are just the same thing (initially a unit of weight). The first one is Latin, the second one Germanic. And 1 pound = 1 lb for that reason.
Oh, did not know that Paul Cezanne & Rene Magritte were on banknotes!
Cool
As a Belgian very often out of my small country, I can’t believe we lived like this. And now it already looks like cash itself doesn’t have much longer to live.
Belgian franc + Luxembourgish franc = homelander
The french notes were the first foreign currency I ever used. They are still as nostalgically sexy to me as the language, many years later..
