SOLOMON ISLANDS - This is my last specimen note from the Solomon Islands. This is the $5 polymer note introduced on 02.05.2019. This is the second polymer banknote issued by the Central Bank of Solomon Islands.

IRAQ - This is a 1000 dinars commemorative note issued in 2018, celebrating the listing of World Heritage Sites of the Marshes and the monuments of southern Iraq. In 2018, other banknotes were also released, like the 250, 500, 10000 and 25000 dinars but only the 1000 dinars was issued as a commemorative note. The design is basically the same as the previous note issued but modified on the front to commemorate the special occasion.

MACAU, BANCO NACIONAL ULTRAMARINO - this is the other 10 patacas commemorative note issued for the year 2020, celebrating the Year of the Ox from 25.01.2020 to 11.02.2021. Whilst the amount of 10 patacas is the smallest value of banknotes issued in the territory, I believe such note is still popular amount the population, especially when come to celebrating auspicious occasions, like the new year celebrations, birthdays, weddings or even a small token of appreciation, where cash are placed in red packets aka hongbao/lai-see, given out usually from adults to children or between families. Such gesture has been practices by the Chinese for hundreds of years, and everyone welcome receiving them, no matter how such is in the package.
