So you missed the International Bank Note Society’s Bank Note of the Year? Well so did we, and did you know that the New Zealand $5 note was the winner? You could read the official article from the IBNS here or you could endure our attempt at humour of the below.
2015 BANK NOTE OF THE YEAR
As mentioned above the New Zealand $5 dollar note did win the 2015 bank note of they year, and it did beat a stunning field from Russia, Kazakhstan, Sweden and Scotland.
We can’t believe the IBNS would not allow the public to vote, so we’re giving our chance for all our many Gurgler reader to decide which of the finalists should have won. Leave a comment in our comment section at the end.
And here’s the Winners and Nominations to make your choice – with thanks to the IBNS for the images.

GURGLER PROPOSAL FOR OBSCURE SOCIETIES
Following on some actual obscure societies, we thought we’d attempt to come up with our own. Kept it to three as they weren’t funny, and any more would be less so.
