Instead of getting cash on tick I have found I can get my ticks on cash!

This is the current Clydsdale fiver featuring St Kilda. I was looking at this artistic masterpiece of currency when I spotted a Gannet and a St Kildan Wren. This has led me to wonder how many other bank notes across the world feature birds…if any at all!

Pre-euro days, the Netherlands had a lot of birds on their banknotes:

1997 10 guilder note - kingfisher
1989 25 guilder note - robin
1992 100 guilder - little owl
1994 1000 guilder - lapwing

and prior to that series, the 1977 100 guilder note had a snipe

Found a 25 rupee note with a Seychelles blue Pigeon on it. Of course £10 notes have some sort of Hummingbird on them, and more than one Guatamalan notes bear Resplendent Quetzals.

All the New Zealand notes have birds on. Blue Duck, Yellow-eyed Penguin, New Zealand Falcon as well I think. I can't remember exactly since they all got sort of spent.

Sounds like birds are well represented out there...any one got any pictures.

Papua New Guinea unsurprisingly features birds of paradise on their money!
