    In 1974, as a teenager, I traveled with my parents from New York to, among other places, Amsterdam, a very standard tourist trip. The Dutch banknotes, issued just a few years before at that time, were dazzling, especially for me as someone from the US used to the almost monochrome greenback-so much so that I kept a TIEN GUILDEN note 1:08 with its Spirograph-like geometric designs. I still have it to this day, close to half a century later, my only souvenir of that trip.

The scheme has been somewhat (but not quite) the same sorted by increasing denomination: blue (5/10 later 200), yellow (10), green (50), red/brown (100), brown/violet (500), orange/yellow/violet (1000).

    Brazil has been doing similar to this for decades now ever since they switched to the Brazilian Real. Each bank note has a different animal, usually found in the Amazon. It's an awesome design. The only bank note that had a face (which was a statue if i remember correctly, statue of David?) was the 1 Real, which they eventually switched the bank note for the 1 Real coin instead. The 1 Real bank note is a popular collector's item in Brazil, since the last batch issued was around early-mid 2000's

      Sorry, just looked at your Australian 60's notes. A 10 shilling, one pound, five pounds and ten pounds note from that era. Nice yellow, red green and blue with brown borders and single color reverses that are actually a bit brighter, but not by much compared to the Dutch 50s money, which used multiple (3+) colors on both sides. We had a predominantly bright blue 10 gulder in that period, a red and orange 25, a boring brown 100 gulden and a multiple shades of green 1000. There was also a green and lilac 20 guilder note, but that was unpopular and quickly discontinued. The real bold colors came with the new 1966+ designs you saw in the video. I'd describe the difference as large as that between a Pieter Bruegel and a Piet Mondriaan painting. Incomparable.

    The Vuurtoren is my favorite bank note, ever.
    I was in high school when it came out, and one of my mates brought one into class very soon after its release. We poured over it with magnifying glasses, put it under the microscope even, to study all its features. f250 was a lot of money back then, I am amazed his parents let him take the note to school!

I distinctly remember the bright colors of the fl. 10 and 25, which we used a lot as youngsters in the 70s and 80s - back in the day when digital payments were not common or maybe not even invented yet.

    I'm Canadian myself and we are also seen as having 'Monopoly money' our notes are made of a type of plastic and are all different colours (5-blue 10-purple 20-green 50-red 100-brown) they also have cool mirror-like shiny bits in the middle overtop of clear sections that, when you hit light against them the right way, create a vibrant full color image. the values are Witten in brail which I always found really cool. we even have scratch and sniff maple leaves in the corners, they work better if you have a 100 or a new note. many people debate weather or not this feature is true but I can say with certainty from my own experience that it is.

    While the artistic merits might be nice, I think these fail compared to Australian paper money in practical terms.
    It appears to be old-fashioned cotton paper which is grossly outdated compared to modern polymer banknotes.
    Every note is the exact same size which is poor for accessibility. Australian notes get larger as their value goes up, helping vision-impaired people tell apart their money. There are also tactile bumps along the edge of notes to further aid accessibility.
    The security features shown here were good, but still a step down from what's done with modern polymer banknotes and their clear strips, holograms, etc.
    Sorry. I'll simp for the Netherlands all day when it comes to urbanism and transport planning. But Australia has you beat with money design.
