[quote]A new five dinar bill was introduced this week in Tunisia, replacing the last vestige of Ben Ali-era propaganda on the country’s currency.

The new banknote is bright green and embraces Tunisia’s Carthaginian past, with an image of Hannibal on the front and depictions of Carthaginian ships on the reverse side. The ancient empire of Carthage was based near the modern capital city of Tunis.

The bill will replace the old five dinar banknotes, which featured a different image of Hannibal on the front and a depiction of the date Bel Ali took power, November 7, 1987, on the back. This imagery was a feature on all Ben Ali-era banknotes. Since the revolution, the 50, 20, and 10 dinar bills have been replaced with new designs.[/quote]

I was looking at the headlines quickly and thought this said Ben Afflack propaganda. Good though they replaced this.

Though I am very offended by Hannibal. I think Tunisia is planning to invade Italy now.

I hope Italy puts Scipio Africanus on their bank notes now.

It's pretty cool though that they put Hannibal on their note. Dude was a total badass.
