Galileo 2000 pounds
A cool note I found stashed away with old and retired travel money ...
from Wiki:
The bill of 2000 pounds was one of the pieces of paper money circulating in Italy before the introduction of the ' euro .
The first version was issued from 1973 to 1983 , and had as its theme "the observation of the sky." It was engraved by Trent Cionini . On the back you can see the Duomo and the Leaning Tower of Pisa , on the back of a planetarium, perhaps the ' Observatory of Arcetri .
