Ranking world banknotes purely on vibes

As a lawyer I should be billing hours right now, but instead I've been thinking about which currency has the most beautiful notes.

Top tier: Swiss franc (vertical, colourful, feels like art), Norwegian krone (waves and boats), New Zealand dollar (birds and plastic, I'm told).

Mid tier: euro (bridges and windows to nowhere, deliberately, so no country gets offended).

Bottom tier: the US dollar. All the same size, nearly all the same green. A design meeting that never happened.

Fight me. Respectfully.
