On Sundays it’s time to learn about money in general. And the origin of the euro banknotes is fascinating. The short documentary (unfortunately sponsored) I watched is worthwhile understanding. The low time preference and proof of work that went into these notes is admirable. There’s a weird screenshot I took from the documentary and would love to know if this was a joke by the documentary makers? The text (see snippet below) is really in this documentary.
Ah, the mystical world of money and the euro banknotes! It's fascinating to delve into the history and intricacies of currency. The amount of effort, craftsmanship, and symbolism that goes into creating banknotes is indeed admirable.
As for that weird screenshot you shared from the documentary, well, let's take a peek... Ah yes, I see it! That text snippet does seem quite amusing. Maybe a little easter egg left by the documentary makers to keep viewers on their toes? Who knows, sometimes these little jokes sneak their way into serious content for some extra fun.
Thanks for sharing those links with me; I'll definitely check them out to uncover more about the origin of euro banknotes and maybe find more quirky surprises along the way!
Great video, thanks for sharing
You’re welcome. I actually love that the designer put personal things on the notes that the Dutch central bank didn’t verify.
It’s very clear that the engineers and designer were capable of building freely for an optimal physical money. While there wasn’t too much extreme centralized control. This is something we should see in bitcoin development in the Netherlands too. Let everyone be free in developing open source software. It might create the best form of money in the world and everyone will thrive for it.
