These are very nice. For some reason I always really enjoy seeing fictional currency design. Perhaps it's because of a lifetime spent handling (nearly) monochromatic US bills.

The Dutch bills were really pretty, but they got ugly redesigns before we got the euro. That 100 guilder bill with the sandpiper became this. See also the 10 and the 25 guilder bills. I prefer the euro bills to the "new" guilder designs which to me look incredibly dated.
These designs are nice, but I wish she'd done coins as well. If Hungary adopts the euro then at least they get to have their own design on one face of each coin while the banknotes are the same in all countries.

Not that I mind pocketing dead Presidents, but This Is What Our Cash Could Look Like If It Didn't Celebrate Dead White Men.

Yeah, I love the skeleton bit. That is what really pushes this over the edge into awesome.

Very pretty. The 20 note having the security thread on the reverse being opposite of the rest of them drives me mad though. WHY DOES IT NOT MATCH?!

We used to have Dutch guilders that were this pretty. Then we got the Euros. 'Nuff said.
