For the sake of this idea, let's imagine that incredible
wealth may correlate to incredible arrogance (a
stretch, I confess, but come with me if you can
imagine it). Perhaps an incredibly wealthy person may
be interested in purchasing customized banknotes
featuring their gorgeous face. This
would cost a bit, of
course -- perhaps 1% of the face value of the currency
ordered, with a minimum of 1 million units of said
currency. This profit would, naturally, boost the
economy of the printing authority.

// may correlate to// or even with. |

Also, if the minimum order was 1 million £5 notes,
this would not require "incredible wealth". |

However, of the wealthy people I know, few are
arrogant; I see more of it in people who either
have slightly more money than their peers, or who
have none and are very proud of the fact. |

Howevertheless, not a bad idea. Why restrict it to
faces, though? Company logos would make for a
good advertising revenue. |

Perhaps, but… the fiver? Rather bourgeois, no? |
|
| |
Why not make them all different? |

I'm sure most governments have a collection of photos of the people they govern. |
|

Perhaps each new fiver should bear the image of a randomly chosen citizen of the country which minted it? |
