There seems to be an error. I got 5 points, getting only 22 right. maybe thats because the quiz is so new?

Probably. You can get 5 points by being in the 95th percentile, which is a moving target.

Rather a shame that the euro-countries are excluded. Pre-euro there was certainly a good amount of people on their currency.

If ever there was a quiz of two halves that is it. First column is pretty straight forward. The second column jesus! A few I guessed every country in their region bar the answer but that's a tough tough second column.

The answer Niels Bohr, Denmark has not been correct for about 10 years. The 2009 series does not contain pictures of persons, but danish bridges instead. See them here: http://www.nationalbanken.dk/en/banknotes_and_coins/Danish_banknotes/Pages/50-krone-banknote.aspx

They're big fans of electric cars in Serbia.

(just kidding, it's because he grew up an ethnic and cultural Serb in the Austro-Hungarian Empire)

Fun fact: us Americans have Toussaint L'Ouverture to thank for about a third of our land.

The Louisiana Purchase was made possible when France's attention was diverted from their American territory to Haiti where L'Ouverture was leading a slave revolt.

Born in Austria-Hungary, on land that is now Croatia, died a citizen of the USA... put on money from some country that is neither Austria, nor Hungary, nor Croatia, nor the US, but that has nothing else to feel proud of apparently. Who is... ?

So if you call out someone for ridiculing a country (however implicit it was) and point out the hypocrisy of them not tolerating someone else even slightly criticising their country (of which there's ample proof on this site's comments), you get your comment deleted.

I was never disrespectful in any way, but it doesn't matter I guess, cause apparently there's a double standard and some veterans on this site are untouchable. Good to know.

baloney. but regardless of whatever your first comment was, the implication in this one is demonstrably wrong. Not that I haven't seen people make it (and be wrong) before. Probably QM didn't feel like seeing me go through the proof again.

Also, if there ever were stats published, I feel pretty confident that I may hold the record for most deleted comments of anyone on this site.

Fair enough on the second point, I can only go by what you say.

As for the first one, I've seen this before, it's quite prevalent with people in the US (and my gf, who's from the US, has attested to it) that think themselves quite critical of their own country and yet are blind to their own nationalistic bias. American exceptionalism is ingrained in your culture, often in very subtle and insidious ways, which makes it in some ways a lot more problematic than your run of the mill jingoism.

Also, you say "demonstrably" when nothing has been demonstrated in this comment section, not even my comment, which is an opinion, as is yours. But apparently you seem to be under the impression you are the sole possessor of the truth, which is why you so often make snarky condescending replies, like the one you made to FedericoGuzman up there (btw pointing out something irrelevant to the issue being argued).

DRC became an independent country within the lifetime of some jetpunkers. My large North American country was in deep in destabilizing Mr Lumumba, never mind what Belgium and others were up to. I guess recent history tends to be more vivid for many of us. Also, DRC is seven times the size of Poland, with twice the population. And Hungary considerably smaller.

Since they have passed from kuna to Euro, the Croatian coins are also rocking Nikola Tesla's face (with a great design btw), then it should be an answer as well.

Sweden put Greta on their currency? What a joke. They should’ve gone with someone much more deserving like Alfred Nobel, Anders Celsius, or Karl Linnaeus.

Even though he’s not Swedish, someone like David Attenborough has a considerably more effective approach in getting the point about environmental conservation across than Greta did.

It's rather depressing to see so many of history's tyrants honored on banknotes. Mao, Genghis Khan, Kim Il Sung, Ho Chi Minh, Khomeini, or (slightly less bad) Hannibal, Peter the Great, Che Guevara, Nazarbayev...

Kill one person? End up in jail.

Kill a thousand or a million? End up on a bill.

Tyranny is the default shape of social organization. Thus, persons of great historical import were often tyrants. I wonder if we couldn't make a split between acknowledging people of historical salience, like Hannibal, Genghis Khan, Peter the Great and maybe Ho Chi Minh, versus those for whom a cult of personality is being maintained, like Mao, Guevara, and Nazarbayev. I find the latter more objectionable, if anyone is asking me.

If they made the current country, the country will have them on there.

Also why wouldnt mongolia have the guy who was in charge when they were at the peak of their power? If Monaco once ruled half of france, would they not have that guy on the bill? Especially if it's too long for his crimes to be in recent memory. Im not justifying, just showing their thought process
