The World’s 9 Most Unique Currencies: You Won’t Believe They’re Real

1: The Eastern Caribbean Dollar

The Eastern Caribbean dollar comes in soft, inviting pastel colors like mint green, sky blue, and even pink. They are decorated with the region’s natural wonders, such as sea turtles, tropical birds, and bright flowers. While the main portrait on the notes is Queen Elizabeth II, reflecting its Commonwealth heritage, the newer polymer bills also honor important local heroes like Sir Arthur Lewis and Sir K. Dwight Venner.
