Will be interesting to see the opinions of elderly Norwegians...

Proper countries do this every second decade or so to utilise new security features. Elder Norwegians would've seen 3-4 different kind of notes by now so should be used to it.

EDIT: I already remember three different sets, the pre-1997 ones, the 1997-2009 and then the current ones.

Nice, I like it.
I miss the old guilder notes, they were so much better than the bland euro crap.

We changed bills in Germany in 1992(?):




I liked the previous series (from 1961) better, though (random 15th/16th century paintings with unrelated stuff on the back):

Odd, I don't remember any of those.

IIRC the cliché was bundles of 100s in suitcases on TV, not so much the 1000 bills.

Gangsta knots and pimp rolls must be a real bitch over there.  And never mind trying to snort coke through it.

Harlem, 1970s.

I prefer garlic knots and sourdough rolls.

I want to stick my hand into her (either) hair and see what wonders it contains.

[Eddie Teach]

Probably just more hair.

Pro-tip - people generally dislike it when you come up to them to touch their hair.
