Remember last year’s infamous 50,000 LBP banknote that BDL wanted to roll out on Lebanon’s 70th Independence Day? It was so hideous that we forgot about it in a flash (because, let’s be honest, it hurt our eyes to look at it!).

Well, pictures of a new 50,000 bill are making the rounds online, and I got to say, Banque du Liban redeemed itself and did a pretty good job with this one. At least there are no horrific grammatical errors in it, and the design is actually neat!

What I like the most about it is the cedar tree. It looks great and makes the banknote very relevant!

I couldn’t help but notice that it looks a lot like an Australian banknote.

Reports say that the new 50,000 bill is set to be rolled out in around a couple of months.

What do you guys think about the new 50,000 LBP bill’s design and overall look?
