There’s a beauty contest among banknotes. Last year, Aruba won the title of “Bank Note of the Year.”
The contest is conducted by the International Bank Note Society. They choose a banknote of the year annually. The 100 Florin note of Aruba won the title in 2019. The new design in emerald green features an iguana on the face and dancing women with ribbons on the green and blue parts on the back. This note is also highly secure thanks to its high-relief printing, color-changing ink, and micro-optics that protect the notes against counterfeit.
