[quote]The Central Bank of Libya has said it will issue new currency notes on 17 February on the occasion of the celebration of the second anniversary of the revolution that toppled former leader Muammar Gaddafi.
While the former Libyan Dinar bore the effigy of the late Kadhafi, the new carries the Libyan flag and an artistic figure highlighting the various stages of the Libyan Revolution.[/quote]
That's pretty heartwarming
Pretty neat, although if the image is the actual banknotes they'll use it honestly looks like it was something someone without experience made in photoshop.
That is actually pretty awesome.
Imagine the guy seeing himself on the note once it start circulating.
Pretty cool really.
Now if only the U.S. would modernize our currency designs. There have been so many great ones proposed that look amazing and would have all the security the Treasury would ever need.
It's not enough, they need the Bulldozer Battleship on a note.[IMG]http://a57.foxnews.com/global.fncstatic.com/static/managed/img/Scitech/0/371/armored%20bulldozer%20libya.JPG[/IMG]
Heartwarming as hell
2nd Anniversary already? Wow, only feels like a year since it happened.

[QUOTE=Hellduck;39473163]wait what, what is that?[/QUOTE]An up-armoured bulldozer, sort of like a DIY APC.
Imagine being that lucky dude on the bill.

Imagine a guy doing coke only to see his dad is staring back at him on the note.
That would bend your head

Currency with protestors on it? That's interesting. Good on them, I guess.

Looks like a WW 1 German tank to me.
I remember how some people said Gaddafi was a great person and the revolution would turn the the country into an islamic dictatorship. Oh how good it is to see that they couldn't have been more wrong.

Egypt's heading down that road though, unfortunately.
Damn, 2 years already?

tbh the background designs on the gaddafi note were cool as fuck
I like this. More countries should have pictures of their people on the notes rather than national heroes.

Funnily enough the 10 LD note is the only one to retain its Gaddafi-era design, featuring national hero Omar Mukhtar
[t]http://imgkk.com/i/wegq.jpg[/t] [t]http://imgkk.com/i/jo5v.jpg[/t]
Mukhtar was a resistance leader during the Italian colonisation of Libya until he was captured and executed in 1931. He was revered under Gaddafi but also came to be used as a symbol of resistance against him during the war.
Oh and this is the city of Zawiya today :~)

Fun fact: it took them hours to even cut into that thing after he blew his head off.
