Now that the picture of the Shah ‘Die Nasty’ I mean Dynasty kings will not be featured on the future currency notes anymore. Shall we make a list of what/whose picture should grace the new bills? In my opinion, the images of persons who have provided a face to Nepal in the world arena or who have contributed to the rich culture of Nepal or has promoted general well-being of the Nepalese in one way or the other. Also, the pictures of unique flora/fauna, the Himalayan mountain peaks could be used. My list would go like: 1) The Buddha 2) Tenzing Sherpa 3) Pashupatinath 4) Swoyambhu 5) Boudha 6) Mt Everest and the other peaks which are 8000 m or are simply too beautiful like Mt Machhapuchhre or Annapurna 7) The picture of the freedom fighting leaders would be nice but it’s too early as their outcome of their legacy have not materialized yet. 8) Unique flora and fauna like spiny babbler or gharial or one-horned rhino etc What’s your take on what I just went over?
