Astronomical banknote from Romania
http://lupuvictor.blogspot.com
In 1999 he was emmited a 2,000 Lei banknote, which had a rather Anniversary purpose, being launched at the total solar eclipse of 11 august 1999, visible from a fairly large area in Romania.
The banknote was made in hard plastic (polymer), a method used in all banknotes in the future.
Value of 2,000 lei this bill was weak, of about 10 Euro cents with which you could buy a loaf of bread. However, the initiative was very original for … Romania?
Probably why the eclipse was put on the 2000 lei banknote, is because it was closer to 1999, when the event happened.
I wonder if there are also countries that have emmited banknotes in circulation on astronomical subject.
