It's amazing the detail embedded into our currency. So much reference to history.
The new $50 note holds part of Edith Cowan's maiden speech to the West Australian Parliament in July 1921. She was the first woman member of parliament in Australia.
Some of the following is stylised into the artwork on this note:
"I stand here to-day in the unique position of being the first woman in an Australian Parliament. I know many people think perhaps that it was not the wisest thing to do to send a woman into Parliament, and perhaps I should remind hon. members that one of the reasons why women and men
also considered it advisable to do so, was because it was felt that men need a reminder sometimes from women
beside them that will make them realise all that can be done for the race and for the home. I have been sent here
more from that standpoint than from any other."

😄Thanks for views,faves and comments😄
The coins clockwise from the bottom are a dime (10 cents), a nickel (5 cents) , a quarter (25 cents), a loonie (1 dollar) and a penny (1 cent). The penny is no longer made or circulated. Missing are a toonie ( 2 dollars) and a 50 cent piece, which has no nickname of which I am aware, and the 50 cent piece is rare.
The denominations of the paper money in the background are obvious. We have a 100 dollar bill as well but I don't use it much.

"Co-op society token"
These little discs were dividend tokens with a monetary value stamped on them, usually made from tinned iron or zinc, this particular token is a very early one made from tinned iron I should image!
These were introduced in the mid 19 th century, although my token is probably a 20 th century one.
These were given to customers for being loyal to the shop and could be redeemed quarterly for cash or goods to the value of tokens you may of amassed over the months shopping at the Co-op.
A very small token with a diameter of only 23 mm, also a very light token.
1d was one penny in pre-decimal currency where 240 pennies equalled one English pound.
Those were the days 😂
Popped the token on the top of a fresh bunch of daffodils to give a nice natural background colour to offset the industrial look of the token.
Well what's the use of golden plunder when you can have Co-op tokens asunder, cash them in four times a year to buy fags, crisps and beer, or save em' up for festive cheer, lot's of dosh cuz Christmas dear.
Then it's Ho' ho' ho' and dancing queer, good old Co-op it's fab no fear!
Who is an American and who gets a vote are questions that U.S. citizens have wrestled with since the founding of the United States in 1776.
In the Lewis and Clark Expedition of 1803 to 1806, which aimed to find a passage to the West Coast, Meriwether Lewis delivered baby boy Jean-Baptiste Charbonneau in 1805 from Sacagawea. She was a 17-year old Native American interpreter of the Shoshone language and a guide for the expedition. Young Jean-Baptiste, nicknamed "Pomp", is pictured being carried by his mother. American suffragists would later highlight that Lewis allowed the woman on the expedition, Sacagawea, an equal vote on critical matters affecting the group. With uncertainty and danger ahead, the group valued her judgment and her vote.
There is considerable mystery about the life of Sacagawea, including her name and death.
In 1869 Wyoming became the first U.S. state or territory to universally give women the right to vote.
2 "Reichpfennig" from 1938. I found this coin three months ago - just like that. It was lying on a relatively new parking lot. I think it came up ground during the construction of this lot. It must have been seeing mostly dark times: First Nazi era and WW2, then it probably has been lying below ground for some 70 years ...

Red , white and blue you can betcha last dollar Nan's bag is filled with it so don't get the blues brothers it's only crazy Tuesday.
Coin with a value of 2.5 Dutch guilder , produced in 1980 on the occasion of the coronation of Beatrix , successor to her mother Juliana as queen of The Netherlands .
Incidentally , the date '30 April' is the mother's birthday . Today -31 January- is the daughter's birthday .
For "Macro Mondays" ; theme : "Currency" .
This is a 100 trillion dollar Zimbabwean bank note issued in 2008. An incomprehensible figure which at the time reflected the catastrophic fall of the value of this nations currency.
The front of the bill has pictures of the famous balancing Rocks of Harare, (apparently meant to symbolise the peace and stability of the nations economy) and on the reverse - "the smoke that thunders waterfall" - Victoria Falls.
So, how large a figure is 100 000 000 000 000?
Well, one trillion seconds is a little over 31,688 years!
Many thanks for all views, fav's - and particularly comments - all are greatly appreciated!
Happy Macro Mondays to you all!
A Macro Mondays submission on the title "Currency". This is a selection of coins accumulated from a number of different countries while travelling.
Back in the 80's when I was a wee lad (13 maybe?) I took a trip to go scuba diving in Mexico. Cozumel to be exact, but we flew into the Yucatan to visit the Mayan ruins. Back then you could still climb the pyramid. I probably have some film shots from back then tucked away somewhere and I will need to find them.
This money is from that trip. Many many years later. I believe they have since removed a zero or two from the currency. The bank notes under the coins are a 5000 and 10,000 peso note.
If memory serves me right, the 10,000 note was worth roughly $6 when I was there.
