Well, I finally went ahead and got the famous Burundi 10,000 Francs banknote. If you don't know the story behind it, then you can read a short story at this Link that will fill you in on the details.

Nice note.

An interesting little note to get hold of

I like African notes for their different designs, usually not well known countries, all make for a fantastic area of collecting. I do believe in this case, the photographer should be flattered that his work was suitable enough for a banknote, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

A good point, and he might be - he said he doesn't want to sue anyone he just wants to halt copyright rule-breaching..
