On bills: Astrid Lindgren to Greta Garbo
The Swedish federal bank wanted to design the new bill series so people could associate with the bills. I must say, they succeeded! History is important, but who wants to see old presidents are their bills? It is almost like saying, money was their most important duty, so they will forever be the holy bill symbols.
Yippee…
Re-design every 10 years
Many countries do re-design their bills every decade. Other countries have had the same design for over 100 years, like the USA. Here are the people on the new Swedish bills:
- Astrid Lindgren 20 crown
- Evert Taube 50 crown
- Greta Garbo 100 crown
- Ingemar Bergman 200 crown
- Birgit Nilsson 500 crown
- Dag Hammarsköld 1000 crown
