Swiss Army NerdGiven the current furor in the #UK regarding #banknote redesign, it seems a good time to mention De Nederlandsche Bank's "Designing Banknote Identity", an expansive and copiously illustrated text suitable for anyone interested in such things... #notaphily

If you're a #banknote collector (or just interested in their imagery/symbology), here's a really good deepdive (400-page English PDF) into banknote design from De Nederlandsche Bank - "Designing Banknote Identity". #notaphily
IainMac9 🇦🇺🏴🇸🇩Local banknote from Binéfar, near the Aragón front in the Spanish Civil War - issued in 1937 by a Workers Collective there, under the CNT (National Workers Confederation) and the FAI, the Anarchist Federation of Spain). They introduced new units of currency - 1 Unidad (Unity) consisted of 100 Grados (Degrees). The red and black flag of the Anarchists is still a vital symbol for antifascists everywhere! The CNT/FAI militias were crucial in fighting off the early Fascist uprisings in 1937, and formed a formidable fighting force under Buenaventura Durruti, who was killed in the Defence of Madrid. #Anarchy #Anarchism #GuerraCivilEspañola #SpanishCivilWar #notaphilists #Notaphily #histodons
