What is the strangest Fiat currency you have seen?

[NavI_027]

For me this is the funniest currency I've ever seen . Though it was only drawn on the paper money and not the actual design, it still makes me amazed and smile at the same time. Only the gamers can relate to this, *sigh it feels good to reminisce the old days .

I believe that it’s not worth talking about the “old days”, because I’m already over 40 years old, but I still love to play “God of War” on the PlayStation and on the portable PSP.

Indonesian Dollars, I didn't see the look as strange but their value is too low compared to US dollars,one USD it somewhere near 13K Indonesian dollars.

You must be kidding me, I never heard about Indonesian dollars as long as I live in Indonesia. Our national currency is Rupiah, and I think it is not too bad compared with Zimbabwe dollars. I assume it is not too low, but yes it is quite low. 1 dollar equal to 13,600 rupiahs currently, but it seems having a better improvement than previous (14k). So, what is strange here?

I don't know the exact word for Indonesian money so I just used dollar, now I know it is Rupiah.

I didn't get opportunity to see Zimbabwe dollars, so I just said what I had seen and felt strange at my first impression.

I would have to say my favorite and it is rather strange.  Is the $5 Bill Murray.

In my own personal opinion, the strangest fiat currency that i have ever seen is the Philippine Peso because here in our country we have change the design of our money for many times, and it is really frustrating that we don't really need and ask to change the design of our fiat, that is why it is really strange why our governments wanted to change our fiat many times.

I think the strangest Fiat currency I have ever seen is the Fiat itself .

It's made for the people but it's filling the pockets of politicians and rich men .
The poor is getting poorer and the rich is getting richer is rightly said , it's creating a havoc in the society , people are killing people over it .

At the end it was all for the welfare of people and was supposed to be better than the old system. But it is rather strange and evil to begin with.

Oh come on guys, do not tell me that THIS is the funniest thing you have ever seen ; https://imgur.com/iXDFr1R  . It is certainly the funniest looking thing out there, I don't get why you guys are sto strict about picking the ones with low value and all that fuss about Zimbabwe or stuff like that where people use bags of money to just buy one bread or whatever. That is something "sad" and not something "funny" in my own opinion but of course I can't say anything about yours, you are free to choose whatever you want.

I personally still think that Canadian dollar is the funniest thing I have ever seen, never seen any money in my entire life that looked so much like a monopoly money, its colors and design all looks like it is actually not a real money but a play money.

One of the banknotes from Peru depicts a spinning machine. It seemed to me very unusual!

i checked it on the web  , it was the one with a girl standing in front of those machines  ? if it is then its normal to me  and i dont see anything strange . other bills that i see above were also not un-usual but only funny because they put drawings on it  . dunno if they draw it themselves or they only grab it on the net  . strange currency supposed to be natural only  and not modified by someone else  . on our local fiat currency , i dont find anything strange here but i only notice that currencies  before are insects and animals , later on they remove it and replace by national heroes  .

I searched for information about the strangest currencies, and I found 1 thing. Well, that is the Hungarian currency, I got information that the currency has a value of 100 million billion pengos. whether it's still there today or not, but it's really strange. I don't think it will cost if we have 1000 pengo.

When I was ~10 years old I found a wallet on the street. When I opened it to check I noticed a lot of banknotes. Wallet directly in my pocket )
I continued my walk... Once arrived at home I figured the banknotes were full of zeros. Jesus Christ! I couldn't sleep for several days, I felt like a real rich guy,  I didn't say it to my parents or a friend.

A month later I told my parents and asked them to take me to a bank to exchange them. I was already dreaming about those Reebok Pump.The teller told me it wasn't worth anything. It was an old-money from Yougoslavie and the money was devalued to zero.


A strange currency I have seen is a local currency in my country, other than the official EURO, decentralized more or less. 95% of people here don't know this money exists, but there are several but there are a dozen of it

I would pick the Philippine's Twenty Peso because, it displays our late president Manuel Quezon in which he is the one that have brought us are national language. National language is what symbolizes a country and it should be given importance everyday. It is also memorable because, it is mostly what I have receive when there will be holidays when I was a little.

I recognized.
Surely this is a currency with extremely large denominations. The cost of its creation and the effort of transporting it makes it valuable.

These unit of accounts are featured on Saifedean Ammous’ book “The Bitcoin Standard”. Rai Stones were counted, naturally, on the “hard money” camp. The funny thing is a few of those stones were “lost” during transport, at sea, So those were on the seabed. The inhabitants started trading “credit letters” on those lost Rai’s, securely stores, where everyone could see those, but nobody could touch...

I love limited series of all sorts of coins - collectible and for festive events. But one of my favorites is the Austrian 100 euro with a Fox family! Some countries still have coins with foxes, but this one is my favorite.

From my point of view, Philippines peso is the strangest fiat currency that I have ever seen because every decade the bank central of the Philippines always wanted to change the physical appearance of our currency that it makes it a little bit weird, and it makes difficult for people who has a visual impairment to identify the coins.

Indonesian dollar was the strangest Fiat currency I have ever seen for both its value and its characters printed in it. I mean, the art was just fine but it was not updated unlike other countries when they are having new Presidents or new Places that they can boast on their money. The value too is very low and you must have at least Millions of Indonesian dollar before you can afford a CANDY. Some really say that their officials are corrupt but can provide good jobs though I dont have proof for that.

The weirdest fiat currency I have ever seen, if the paper money has a pen scratch on it. Some even drew on the paper money,
because it's clear the person doing that doesn't respect the money. If I keep paper money in my wallet, I try to protect it well.
But what made me even more surprised was that the paper money that had been scribbled was still valid for use.

You guys do know that anyone can decline to accept any currency with stuff written or drawn on it right? I mean in most countries it is illegal to change the look of the paper fiat and if you do that anyone you give it to has the right to decline that if they want to.

Obviously people don't do it on 100 dollar bills usually (maybe few might) and do it on low level paper so that it wouldn't be hurting their finance to express their art on fiat, but it is still not allowed. Hence I think all of these pieces of paper with stuff on it that you guys shown are basically just unacceptable money, not something you can go ahead and use and expect it to be accepted. If you can just fool them or they just don't care they could still accept but they should not do that according to law.
