The Macedonian denar (MKD) - but I couldnt find the 200 nor the 2000 - pretty designs, though! The 10 and 50 are polymer.

Some beautiful HKD notes - with HSBC, Bank of China, and Standard Chartered, the collection options seem nearly endless!

The PhP 200 bill was discontinued in 2020 due to low usage.

The 20s seem rare too as there is now a 20 peso coin. The few 20s I got in change were old and battered.

That "vertical" bill seems fairly unique. How many other countries is anyone aware of who have such a thing?

Rare 2000 yen bill. We used them in the Shiretoko peninsula twice and surprised the employees. First time was at a bar in Utoro to employee in early 40s and she was surprised but knew what it was, another Japanese guest asked to look at it since had rarely seen. The second time was in Rausu at a coffee shop run by an elderly woman, she had never seen one before and took a minute processing that it's a real bill.
Discontinued Canadian $2 bill.

Switzerland, for sure!




There are elements of the Serbian dinar, Hong Kong dollar (2018 series) and Ulster Bank NI pound that are also vertical on at least one side. Im sure there are others, too.

Thats a really cool hobby. Ive started doing something similar and its interesting how much design and history is reflected in banknotes. The Serbian ones look great I like the colors on the 500 too.
