    I think it’s more about “does it fulfill the tropes paper money has established.” It’s like how many of the new electric cars look slightly off because they’ve removed design features (i. e. grilles with obvious air intakes) that are established in cars already.

    Interestingly, Soviet banknotes up to the 1961 series would print the denomination in over ten different languages.

      Firstly, the issuing authority’s abbreviation is there. In all the languages. Secondly, the denomination is printed in a way that’s intelligible to all nations :)
