Lucky money
Being an Asian, receiving lucky money means a lot, especially with a red bank note as red is considered as a symbol of good luck. I have lived in 3 countries by now and all of them have red bank note.
The first one is my hometown's banknote. This is a part of my childhood because since 2003, Vietnam has switched from paper banknotes to polymer ones. Now we also have a note of 50000 VND in pinky color but I'm sure regardless the value, many Vietnamese people prefer to receive this old 10000 VND as a lucky wish because of its solid, bright and promising red impression.
The second one is 10 euros banknote. I still remember the day I was on the school bus going to ski and was receiving this note as a reimbursement of registration deposit. The banknote was so new that made me feel like it was lucky money. And here it is, still in my wallet.
The third one is a Thai banknote, 100 baht. What I love in this 100 baht note is there are 3 versions featuring 3 different famous, respectable people of Thailand. How great it is that you can learn a little bit more about a country's history just based on its banknote...
Money is indispensable in our daily life as it's one of the most powerful means to run this world. I don't know how many countries I will visit and live in the future, how many currency I will have to use, and how many stories I will have with it. But I hope I can learn something in every small story and above all, more importantly, can use money in the smartest way possible (but hope I have much much money first).
