Recycling banknote designs

Hello,

Noticed that the Banca d'Italia recycled its Mietitrice 500 Lire motif on the Albanian 100 Franga note:



And the Banque d'Indochine has used the same design on various notes it issued, for different French colonies:




Anyone else find any more examples, feel free to share.

The face of Sucre appears on the banknotes of two, perhaps more countries of South America.

Zimbabwe recycled some of its banknote designs, especially in the Hyperinflation issues.

This Albanian note I have is also Banca d'Italia

You'd have needed a huge wallet to have kept these in

​And here is its Italian counterpart, a 100 Lire note:

Note the similarities, like the two watermark windows as well as the layout and motifs of the notes. The backs are similar in layout, but with the Italian eagle replaced by an Albanian double headed one:



And yeah, until as recently as the 1960s huge banknotes the size of placemats could still be found in circulation in France and Italy; the 5000 Francs Victoire, printed from 1934 to 1943, was 230x125mm!

​Great post CassTaylor, thanks for showing the Italian original.
I like the large Albania note, it has a certain appeal.
