ABC WEDNESDAY--"F" is for "Five hundred"



Jovan Cvijić was a Serbian geographer, president of the Serbian Royal Academy of Sciences, and rector of the University of Belgrade. He was a world-renowned scientist, and considered the founder of geography in Serbia, having started his scientific career as a geographer and geologist.

And now he's on the 500 dinar note, worth as I type, around $7.00.

See other F's on ABC WEDNESDAY.

Thanks for the link. And yes, those guys were good and played for free! Joni Mitchell rocks!

I think it looks more like a American movie ticket than money. So interesting the currancy in each country.
