Here are five of the world's most beautiful currencies.
A country's currency is not only a medium of exchange but also expresses the country's identity, beauty, and culture.
These five countries have beautiful and aesthetically pleasing banknotes, and because of how beautiful they are, they are rare to come by.
The Australian 50-dollar note is a unique and visually stunning design, featuring a portrait of Aboriginal Australian inventor David Unaipon and a reverse side depicting Edith Cowan, the first Australian woman to serve as a parliament member.
It's made in a gorgeous yellow and gold and features two transparent windows and native Australian flowers.
Switzerland's Swiss franc is renowned for its vivid colour scheme and vertical orientation, and its designs honour history, art, and science.
Each banknote has a hand which has different meanings for instance the 10-franc note has a conductor's hand that means culture and music.
The currency series features natural Swiss scenery and historical figures.

This is a polymer 100-cent numismatic banknote commemorating the Lunar Year of the Dragon.
It features a three-part holographic window stripe depicting Fijan flora and fauna and the denomination "100" in gold colour.
