Perhaps irony?

[Wiesty]

he's on other coins and bills to
after all
didnt che own the national bank for awhile?

[SittingBull47]

that's right. he didn't care, so he just signed the bills "che" instead of a formal name.

If it's possible could someone post the rest of the Cuban Currency? Is Fidel on anything?

[Pedro Alonso Lopez]

Em you people realise like you need money in a country like Cuba and that Che was inc harge of the National Bank etc. Whats wrong with his face on that note, I think its quite symbolic.

Nope, it's illegal to put his face on things used by or in public. It's to prevent accusations of a "personality cult".

I believe he appeared on a set of stamps in the '70s, though, but that's about it.

Here is a link to view all Cuban Currency as far as I know if you click here (http://www.webhavana.com/main.php?lang=en&page=cuba_currency.php) I think it's nice that Che is on one of the cheaper notes so that way everyone gets to hold him not just the wealthy.
