Pretty Money!


With a map of the Netherlands with sunflowers and bees, 50 gulden 1982 this is a sexy little thing. It looks a little too pretty for it's purpose. These images make them look even better but as we compare we can see many things that make them sexy, or at least modern or traditional. Some things are a bit random but the Netherlands piece has a wonderful use of a grid and bright happy colors. I am not saying the US 50 dollar is gloomy and depressing, which shows our state of economy now but it is a bit more traditional looking with the fancy swirls everywhere. I don't really understand the 4 different 50s but the sunflower dollar has one sexy size. I guess if it were beautiful then people may not want spend it? I wouldn't.
