It has been a long time since I published, so I decided to write again in the following publication, I will talk about the different currencies that you could see in the image, bills ranging from countries like Thailand as the 20 bill, North Korea with the 5000 bill, Tunisia with the 20 bill, Hong Kong with another 20 bill, Belarus with the 50 bill, Japan with the 100 bill.
What is so interesting about banknotes? It is no secret that banknotes are part of the identity of each country, where important people are represented on these banknotes and usually have made a contribution to their nation from some point of view, another interesting fact in the banknotes is that they have symbols such as the representation of some wealth or an emblematic message for their nation, equally important places, as well as highlighting their fauna or flora.
Let's start with the Tunisian dinars, that is to say the curious 20 dinar banknote:
The person who comes out riding the horse is Khayr al-Din Pasha reading his story is really curious of how a person captured in the Caucasus his place of origin and was trafficked by an Arab to a Tunisian who in turn was sold to the Bey of Tunisia, for those who do not know what is a Bey is a title of tribes similar to a prince with military competence, it is like a very influential leader in his region. This Bey made Khayr al-Din was educated speaking Turkish, Persian, English, French, Arabic and his own language, it is amazing how in the old days there were people with so much mastery of other languages, this person held various positions ranging from commander of cavalry, diplomat, general of the army, navy minister, president of parliament, Grand Vizier of Tunisia.
Not bad for having been a slave, one who ended up being very educated and who played different roles that were key to a country.
Appears on the banknote because he was an emperor Bhumibol Adulyadej.
"Rama IX" King of Thailand. He was neither good nor bad, fortunately.
20 Dollars HSBC
It is quite curious that it has neither a person , and that they are only lions, it is striking that detail.
Unlike the previous banknotes this banknote has quite a history, it was one of the dollars issued by the Japanese Empire, territories such as Singapore, Malaysia, North Borneo, Sarawak and Brunei were occupied by the Japanese Empire forcing the use of its banknote, as a curious case they lacked security as well as serial numbers which made these banknotes counterfeitable, on the other hand the shortage of coins made the Imperial government to issue a considerable amount creating an inflation in the territories, really a hyperinflation, every time the Japanese army was defeated the value of the currency fell even more in value, after the surrender of Japan the currency became useless, leaving bankrupt those who owned such banknotes. They were so obsolete and useless that their paper was even used as a calendar, and when the bills were reused to be exchanged for their value, holes were punched in them.
The banknote on one side has a place called Kholm Gate and also the main entrance to the Memorial Brest Hero-Fortress - important places in the history of Belarus, one for being the site of German-Soviet battles, the other for being a historical city.
In the North Korean Won of 5000, Kim Il-sung appears there are not many positive things I could add about this person.
This was a publication that could only be possible thanks to the collaboration of the user u/Royall who took the photo of his banknotes, I have the permission to spread and use the image in any of the blogs that I decide to publish, although I prefer this content to be exclusive of Leofinance.io
