Thanks to Henrique from Brazil for introducing me to the Cruzeiros! 🇧🇷 Sorry it’s been a while - expect more frequent videos :)

That *was* the smoothest transition I have ever witnessed.👏

First time I’ve laughed at a sponsored ad That shark outfit tho

Minecraft paintings be like 5:28

I think this note is based on an fairy tale by the grimm-brother "Gold-Esel" (Local dialect) En Isel, dei Dukoten schitt, Diän hett wey Paderbüörnsken nit, Doch gift et Isels genaug in der Welt, Dei kaupet use Papeyergeld. (Deutsch) Ein Esel, der Dukaten sche*ßt den kennen wir Paderborner nicht. Doch gibt es Esel genug in der Welt, die kaufen unser Papiergeld. (English) An donkey that ducats cr*ps We don't know in Paderborn. But there are donkeys enough in the world, who buy our paper money

If I were that shark, I would be pissed off too. Crazy chicks these days. You offer them help and they pee on you and break a coconut.

My mother is an immigrant from Holland, and one time she came back with some Dutch money to show me (this was in pre-Euro times). One of the bills had a big barcode, right in the middle of it, but none of the other bills did. I assume this was just a design element, for that reason, but it looked strange.

Those "money of the world" magazines were sold in Germany too about 20 years ago. I still have it's notes and coins in a folder at my parents' house, i think the Mozambique's one is there as well.

It's nice the Germans added their own humor during a dark time of their history. The Cook Islands note is fascinating

Are we just going to ignore that statue on the other side of the Cook Islands $3 note?

Ambigram: suns Looks from the other direction is still suns

"Isnt that just the smoothest sponsored transition you've ever seen?" Kento Bento: Hold my beer

At some point i aspire to own one of every single banknote in the world I really enjoy these videos

Who else thinks that chris has a well balanced KZfaq channel.

They’re not weird they’re just... Different.

The Norwegian Central Bank just announced that the new 1000 Krone banknote will be issued in November 14th

0:52 THE BANKNOTE BLINKED :D

The USSR had interesting denominations when I was there, including 3 roubles and 15 copex (useful for riding the Moscow metro). When I host poker games, I declare the chips worth 10c, 30c, $1, $3 and $10, and it works out really well.

*Random family on cook island* 10 year old Child: Mom I need 3 Dollars. Mom:NO! Child: Why? Mom:You are not 18+plus ☺

The most surprising thing regarding banknotes when I come to uk is they have 2 quid coins. This coin has 18x value compared to the highest value coins in my home country.

I feel honored as a Norwegian by you saying our money is amongst the most modern 😂🙏 thank you 😂❤️ And yeah we dont usually use cash anymore but its fun to see that ppl like you notice us anyway 😊❤️

Being a currency collector (mostly coins), I am fascinated by the bank notes presented in your videos! However, I recommend you make a video on the 1946 Hungarian hyperinflation notes. It is a really interesting topic. (Also your ad in this video is very funny).

Literally the best sponsor segment and transition ever made wow

Been waiting for this 😀😀.Glad you’re back

2:24 the reason is not a joke its a tale from germany.

Ha! Yes, the sponsor trasition was indeed the smoothest I've ever seen.

@03:46 Yes, yes it is!

This was a phenomenal video! Thank you for putting it together!

Congrats on 200k!!!! I can’t believe your already there! I absolutely love your channel and I’m so happy to see that you’re on your way to 1 million!!

That shark outfit was adorable!

Awesome vid man! I love the Norwegian krone

When i see chris's new video in my feed it gets my emotions!😱😊♥️

Yay I love watching your videos I also love seeing different currencies

Great video Chris and congratulations on 200k subs. Very much deserved 👍🏻

Wow!!! Those are very interesting notes. I am Brazilian and even I didn't know that our long-forgotten cruzeiro notes were designed as an ambigram! Thank you for reviving something from our history that not even our schools care to show.

Would love to see a series just about stories behind bank notes

Chris, you are probably one of my fav youtubers cuz your so talented and have 2 cute cats👌

Christ must actually put the largest Single Banknote in the world: The 100, 000 Philippine Peso ($1949.40)(£1501.27)It measures Roughly the size of a sheet of a legal paper.

We have the best banknotes. We WON the world

0:52 Blinking banknote!

Disney: "We NEED to MAKE A MOVIE! JUST ANYTHING!" A naked lady on the Shark Note: *exists Disney: "JUST DO IT!"

Coins from Transnistria are plastic, I always thought that was cool.

Awwww, you look so cute in your shark outfit ^_^

Lovely video, I really enjoy the banknote trivia! Regarding the sponsor: probably not a good idea to suggest using it for Netflix, since Netflix’s terms and conditions prohibits using vpn’s.

I saw the blinking note! It's the 100 cruzeiros one!!

Amazing! But a small correction: The ones you mentioned about Brazil were used only between 1980 and 1986. The "cruzeiro" was a name used several times in brazilian money history, using different models. This one lasted until 1986, when it was replaced by the Cruzado (1986-1989). The cruzeiro would return in 1990-1993, but with another design, different from the previous.

My family has been collecting bank notes and coins for about 100 years. Every time we visit a new country we bring home some money to put into the collection. The thing that shocks me is we have a New Zealand coin from 1920 and the earliest I know of my family coming to New Zealand was in 2000. My family is also from the uk so not an easy trip. I also have a lot of notes from some unique countries too (and some coins from casinos).

congrats on ur first sponsor! might try out surfshark

NOOO THAT SHARK OUTFIT IS SOOO ADORABLE

This kind of stuff is why i collect banknotes, great video!

Don’t EVER stop creating the most unique and fascinating content ON KZfaq

All of the banknotes we’re sooooo cool!!😄 My personal favorite was the Norwegian banknotes!! They were sooo pretty!!❤️😁

The notgeld poem actually mocks the people that collected Notgeld bank notes, which already in their day quickly became an item of collection. Which is an even greater joke! It says: A donkey that shits money, we Paderbornians don't have. But there are enough donkeys in the world, that buy our paper money. You make really great videos! 🙌 I like your style

Your vids are so fascinating and interesting love the vids keep it up

I love these videos, just your style and presentation is brilliant

I just found the channel I have always wanted. Thank you, Chris. Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷

I don't know if anyone explained the Donkey one, there is a Grimms Tale of three brothers inheriting different things from their teachers. The carpenter a table which fills with food, the woodcarver gets a Switch in a bag which beats up anyone the owner wants, and the Miller a donkey that poopes gold. Long story short someone stole both the table and the donkey but the jungest brother, the woodcarver tricked the thief into opening it. The thief got beaten up and the brothers got their thins back. ANYWAY sorry for the wall of text, but it was important to me as a German person. Great video, even if I am only now binging your channel I was on/off since 2019

Si happy another video from half-asleep Chris

That was the COOLEST transition to advertisement ever, the coincidence!😆

I think the donkey was from an old fairytale. I’ve read it only once so i dont know how it goes but it’s roughly a donkey pooping coins to help out a poor person living on farmlands. I’ve also read a different one including this trope but it included a goat that could spawn in food on a table and a bag with a club in it for self defence aswel. I literally live next to Germany so i think that’s how i picked up the story

Cracking vid, more like this please Chris!

Congrats on 200k

5:17 FISH MOMENT

The shark costume was brilliant!

How many subscribers half-asleep Chris will have in November 👇

I'm half-asleep and watching this video :3 lovely

You rightout dressed as a shark for a joke for an Ad and I live for it.

Chris: Awesome Chris in a shark suit: Awsomer Chris dancing in a shark suit AWSOMEST!

I really like the stop motion bits

Loved the video! Keep up the great work!

Great video! Happy that I have almost all of them 👍👍

Thanks for doing another banknote video

I have to make a presentation about bills, for my school, so your videos are really helping me out with it✨

5:47 every business dealing with money in Norway is required by law to accept cash

The shark suit is HILARIOUS!!

In Argentina during the late 90s and later on during the 2001 crisis we got several types of "Provincial Banknotes". It was like, I don't know, Essex or Manchester decided to start printing money. During 2001 crisis things got significantly worse because you would find many type of super local currencies made by people, some kind of bartering groups, that you needed to start bartering. Funny thing that you still needed some type of currency. Even funnier is that they were little squares like those German Banknotes you got there.

Looking back at your great videos and have just noticed that on like every bank note video, theres someone blinking or closing their eyes, 😂 great little touch and an amazing idea to pull off

hahaha! Yes, that's the smoothest ad transition ever! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

that was, indeed, one amazing way to present your sponsor

7:20 - Wow! That's an old 100 rupiah banknote. The money when I was kid. I remember back in the day, I could buy two candies with it. What a memories.

Cook islands: check out of my cool 3 dollar bill Every single country: uhhhhhhh......

Another great video from one of my favourite youtuber

Love the content you make!

I really like the Norwegian one's! Super cool and unique!

Interesting video! When I was a kid I used to collect banknotes... But I was totally surprised to see banknotes from my own country. So, of course, they do not look like weird to me, because I used to pay things with it! But, on the other hand, your voice sounds very funny to me... And it reminds me the voice of Olga (the singer of an English punk rock band called Toy Dolls). :)

Excellent vid, as usual!

Hey I love your vids They are really interested and I find them fun thanks for making them

You are right about the donkey from Paderborn - but only to a degree, it goes even further. Once the Notgeld got more elaborate, cities found that there were enough collectors to make this a somewhat profitable business. It is exactly these collectors that are the butt of the joke in the poem which loosely translates to "We Paderborners don't have a donkey that shits ducats. But there are enough donkeys in the world who buy our paper money.". I might add that at least for me it also looks more like coins coming from this donkeys behind than the actual duty of such an animal. That again would be coherent with a German fairytale by the brothers Grimm "The Wishing-Table, the Gold-Ass, and the Cudgel in the Sack" where one of the protagonists is gifted a donkey that expels gold from his mouth and behind upon the command "Bricklebrit!".

The donkey poo note is hilarious! So is the Cook Islands lady and shark! Talk about a banknote jumping the shark!

Magazines with money of the world is so cool. like a set of all the table elements

Another great video, thanks, Chris.

2:06 I guess you can say that banknote was pretty shitty

Your videos and voice overs feel like a BBC documentary 😅 I love it!

no one: Norway: **minecraft money**

i agree with chris that that was the smoothest content to sponsor transition EVER.

Did you buy a shark costume just for that pun😂 I Love youre videos🙂

I have the 3 dollar cook islands note with the half naked girl riding the shark. I got it while travelling in the cooks. There they don't regaularly use the cook islands banknotes but only new Zeland dollars banknotes but the cook islands coins are regularly used and include triangular coins and shell shaped ones. The cook islands is probably the most relaxed and probably most beautiful place(see aitutaki) i have ever been to

At 0:53, they wink, you do that in every banknote video 😂😉

I'd love to see you tackle the irish punts..

his next vid should be about what the notes should look like if we all had the same currency
