This is what Norway’s currency will look like and its set to be released in 2017. The backside of the notes feature a pixilated colour palette of the image on the front side of the note.
The new currency design has been met with mixed reception and was chosen by Norges Bank in a competition held earlier this year. The artwork at the front depicts Norwegian coastline that are of great importance whilst the pixilated side is a series called “Ripple Effects” by Enzo Finger.
Having a new currency design change this drastic was always going to divide opinions however we reckon that Norway is going to be a trend setter with this refreshing design.
