I thought I'd share with you some old British
banknotes. They came to me from my granddad, and I
think they're spectacularly beautiful. Some of them
look almost eastern European in their colours and
layout.
I can't show you the detail (for more, see the graphic at the top of this page), and you won't get an idea of how big the notes are either, but I hope you can get an idea of how pretty money can be. If you'd like to see higher-resolution versions, please leave a comment with your email address.
For anyone techie reading this, you might be interested to know that, despite the anti-counterfeiting measures in the latest version of Photoshop (which normally blocks you from scanning banknotes), these old notes scanned in without and problems. Wonder what it is the software's looking for?
