The current Euro banknote, each with distinct colours
Alternate portrait-based Euro banknotes that were never issued
The Swiss Franc - uses a portrait orientation in it's design
and possess eighteen different security features
The Dutch Guilder, replaced by the Euro in 2002 - uses both portrait and landscape orientations
The Australian dollar - all Australian banknotes are now made of polymer, as polymer
allows the incorporation of many security features not available to paper banknotes. They
almost always feature a clear 'window' in replacement of a hologram. They also last
significantly longer than paper notes, resulting in a decrease in environmental impact
and a reduction of production and replacement costs.
