One of the nicer designs, from an interesting place with a fascinating history:





These are from Salt Spring Island BC, an island with a population of approximately 10.000 people south of Victoria Island in British Columbia.  These notes have been issued in fairly small quantities since 2001 and feature designs by local artists featuring individuals from the island.

Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo, so Mexico, and so appropriate for this brand new $500 note issued in September 2010 by Banco de Mexico. Artists, writers, leftist political agitators extraordinaire - and tempestuous lovers whose radical ideas shocked conservative Mexican society in the early 20th century. This note commemorates their lives, and their art, with a self portrait of Frida Kahlo on the reverse of the note with a vignette from another of her works.

THE DERTOIT INSTITUTE OF ARTS HAS A GIANT 4 WALL MURAL PAINTED BY DIEGO RIVERA ON IT--------IT SHOWS AN AUTOMOBILE FACTORY AND HE PAINTED IT TO HONOR THE WORKERS AND I THINK IT WAS ALSO A SHOT AT THE OWNERS OF THESE FACTORIES AND THE EXPLOITATION OF THE WORKERS-----IT IS AN ENORMOUS ACHIEVEMENT AND YOU ARE RIGHT ABOUT PUTTING HIM AND HIS GIRLFRIEND ON THESE NOTES....ALTHOUGH DIEGO LOOKS LIKE THE RULER OF NORTH KOREA........

ATTACHED ARE THE 4 WALLS OF THE D.I.A.'S SHOWING HOW THE MURALS APPEAR......NOT QUITE AS GOOD AS SEEING THEM IN PERSON
