I've always been amazed that the US has such boring looking money (not that you can't have fun with it!). I love getting foreign currency when I travel but when I travel to the US it all looks the same.
My favourite was the 50 Franc note (France) because it had Antoine Saint-Exupéry and his Petit Prince on it... Here was currency with a literary figure and his creation on currency.
It just seemed so much more vibrant than dead politicians or living royalty...
