This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

That's a pretty lame contest. Contestants were told to make notes from an exact list of famous Europeans or birds with some lame architecture on the other side. Can you imagine the excruciating process of finding and sorting either list - "Marie Curie can't be there because she left a negative comment around the cleanliness of her room at a Belgian conference!", "Our prime minister died from an allergic reaction to curlews!"
At least countries can put whatever they want on their own euro coins. These notes just scream designed by a committee of bureaucrats.
That's the best part. They have always been.
Yeah! Dont need national symbols on bills. But the coins! Ooh that is where the fun begins! Especially the special edition coins nations make!
