The new South African bank notes are all going to have Nelson Mandela's face on them.
While he's a great, important guy and all, they kinda look really boring.
And I liked the animals better than politicians' faces anyway.Pictures on Money

The animal are much nicer. I wish we didn't have the queen on all of ours. Although I do appreciate having Charles Darwin on the back of £10.
I think we should have a picture of Mr. Bean on our notes. You know, to portray the current state of the economy and the way it's being handled by the Tories. :)
Must say wouldn't it be nicer to put a different guys face on all the different notes like they do here in the uk?
It just seems less logical to have his face on all the notes"Alright, this is gonna cost you three cheetahs, a lion, and two elephants" sounds so much cooler than "just gimme 690."
It could be worse. You could have genocidal murderers and slave owners on your currency.
Panzermancer has a point - are there any South African slang terms for money which are based around animals on the notes?
@Ghostwalking: That's what all the newspapers are saying too. It's a little silly, 'specially since Mandela already has a monument, a mall, a university, a few streets, and probably some other stuff too.
@Panzer @Cesque: Yes, we do sometimes do pretty much exactly what Panzer said.Dave Chappelle sums up American money quite well:
"Our money looks like baseball cards with slave owners on them!"They have put Mandela on one side and an animal on the other.
