100-yuan bill, china. The third most beautiful currency

in #currency6 years ago

This ornate bill from China depicts the main character from the classic Chinese folktale “The Dragon Who Was Afraid Of Getting Cancer.” In the story, a fire-breathing dragon is haunted by the looming threat of getting some kind of cancer, and goes around trying to figure out all the ways to avoid getting cancer, only to ultimately be killed by a brain aneurysm. The dragon is seen on the 1,000-yuan bill screaming his famous plea, “I really hope I do not get liver cancer or any other kind of cancer.”
