Ruder Boskovic (on croatian banknotes) was also on the 5, 10, 25, 100, and 100,000 dinara banknotes from that same 1991 series.

 

Oswaldo Cruz is on the Brazilian 50 Cruzado banknote. I dont know how the Cruzado relates to the Cruzerio in denomination though.

 

Tesla is also in the 5000000 Dinara note from Yugoslavia.

 

 

The ones I have listed are some of the ones in my collection. I even have a couple of the ones you listed, like the Croatia 1 Dinara, the Yugoslavia 1000 dinara.

 

The one I have that I am not sure about is the Poland 100 Zlotych banknote. It has Ludwik Waryinski. I dont know if he is a sciensist or not...... There are others I have from other countries that are just like that, where they have people on them, but I dont know who they are, or what their profession is, so I cant list them as being scientists until I find out for sure....

Is it just the scans of these notes that are missing or the notes themselves that you do not have?
