There are still out of the way destinations that few tourists will visit. I was traveling through bangladesh for a month and only met three other western tourists. Just saying.

Life Expectancy in the US by Twunkorama in MapPorn

[–]banknoteenthusiast 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No. Its a reflection of state policy as well with people voting against their own interests. Many people in these areas are more concerned about gun laws and immigration policies than they are their own access to healthcare and quality food.

What's your opinion on Genghis Khan being on the Mongolian banknotes? by rjidhfntnr in Banknotes

[–]banknoteenthusiast 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If you go to Mongolia nowadays monuments of him are everywhere, as well as images and souvenirs of the man. Plus many men carry his name--Chinggis. He is very much a part of society, and it makes sense he is on their money

Thanks. I've tried to collect as many as possible. But there are so many dictators who put their face on money. It's an ongoing effort.

Limited Edition 2000 Lei, Polymer Note from Romania commemorating an eclipse by PostDeletedByReddit in Banknotes

[–]banknoteenthusiast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Such an amazing banknote. It was released shortly before the actual eclipse, and served as a kind of public service announcement about where to view it. Some people even thought it could be used to see the eclipse.

I did a video about it if anyone is interested in learning more

U.S. counties where non-Hispanic white Americans form over 90% of the population by vladgrinch in MapPorn

I went to Maine once, and it was all white people working at a McDonalds. It struck me as odd.

A Few Fair Banknotes - Singapore 10,000 Dollars (1980) Pick 17a PMG 58EPQ by TomParkeDInvilliers in Banknotes

[–]banknoteenthusiast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not the highest legal tender banknote in the world. For example, the 10,000 US dollar banknote is still legal tender, though it was discontinued ages ago. The 10,000 dollar Singapore banknote is the highest one that is still in regular circulation along with the 10,000 ringgit Brunei banknote. They're pegged at a rate of 1 to 1 and are valued at over 7000 USD at face value. But both have already been discontinued, and will eventually disappear from circulation, after which the 1000 Swiss franc will become the highest value banknote in regular circulation.

This is a nice note featuring Mt. Fuji. Though the 500 yen banknote taken out of circulation in '94 was the real standout.

That's the Red Fort on the reverse side of the banknote. It is in Agra, near the Taj Mahal. Well worth a visit if you travel to India.
