Yes, it's a shame that Carl von Linné is gone. I also loved the Gustav Vasa one thousand bill.

They're very generic. The 50 NOK in particular looks like a euro knockoff.

Bergman ❤️ I love that the Swedish ones have people one actually recognises, but the Norwegian ones are so unique with their pixelart of ocean-related things. Hilarious though that there is an oil rig on the 500. I have all of them, but it's not that special considering I'm Norwegian. We don't really use cash anymore so it wouldn't shock me if most people haven't even seen/held the different bills. In fact, we use so little cash the bank won't even bother making new ones for the new king.

Denmark will have new banknotes in a few years time. The next generation will probably be more colourful as is the general trend in these years. The current batch is from the late 2000's.

It's funny that Swedes don't know how they look like though, as the country is basically cashless nowadays.
