Ark Banknote Details

Just so I can save something I put together.

5 ark note - Lowest denomination. Is gray colored and has the portrait of James Hanson on the front, early parliament member and founding father. The reverse has an image of the Theopanian oblesk. Anti-counterfeit measures include a watermark and overlayed watermarks in the left corner, and a holographic strip.

10 ark note - Commonly used denomination. Is yellow colored and has the portrait of Nestor Halas, the 4th Executive Paramount of Theopanias. The reverse has a Trinitary Falcon, the national bird. Anti-counterfeit measures include a watermark and overlayed watermarks in the left corner, and a holographic strip.

20 ark note - Most commonly used denomination by regular people. Is green and has the portrait of Ezekiel Hallas, a Theopanian author. The reverse has the Chamber of Governance, the meeting place of Parliament's lower house. Anti-counterfeiting measures included multiple watermarks, overlayed watermarks in left corner, security threads, a holographic strip, raised magnetic ink, infrared and ultraviolet ink, and others that aren't made public.

The increased measures from the lower denominations are due to the raised risk of the denomination being counterfeited.

50 ark note - Commonly used denomination in larger transactions. Is blue in color and has the portrait of Beth Johnston, a woman's rights activist in Theopanias. The reverse has the Executive Mansion. Anti-counterfeiting measures included multiple watermarks, overlayed watermarks in left corner, security threads, a holographic strip, raised magnetic ink, infrared and ultraviolet ink, and others that aren't made public.

100 ark note - Most printed denomination, though not the most used by the average person. Has the portrait of Caleb Porter on the obverse, the 17th Executive Paramount. The reverse has the Supreme Court of Theopanias. Anti-counterfeiting measures included multiple watermarks, overlayed watermarks in left corner, security threads, a holographic strip, raised magnetic ink, infrared and ultraviolet ink, and others that aren't made public.

1000 ark note - Large denomination note that makes up a significant portion of arks in circulation, though the note itself is uncommon for the average person, and they tend to be used by upper class, banks, and businesses. Is indigo colored, and the Obverse has the portrait of Sarah Neichman, the 3rd Executive Paramount and a founding mother of Theopanias. Anti-counterfeiting measures included multiple watermarks, overlayed watermarks in left corner, security threads, a holographic strip, raised magnetic ink, infrared and ultraviolet ink, and others that aren't made public. There have been motions to have this note and the 10000 ark note removed due to their very large value and risk of being counterfeited or used in illegal transactions. However the Central Bank maintains that these notes draw a lot of attention when used in large quantities and have sufficent anti-counterfeit measures to prevent counterfeiting, and maintain them as active denominations.

10000 ark note - The largest denomination note, making up a large portion of arks in circulation compared to other denominations, despite rarely if ever being seen by the average person due to it's large value. Is gold in color and has the portrait of Joseph Chatillion on the obverse, the 12th Executive Paramount. The reverse depicts the Chamber of Providence, the meeting place of the upper house of Parliament. Anti-counterfeiting measures included multiple watermarks, overlayed watermarks in left corner, security threads, a holographic strip, raised magnetic ink, infrared and ultraviolet ink, and others that aren't made public. It's value is extremely large for a banknote and is one of the most valuable circulating banknotes of any currency.

Giant and Titan Banknotes Revealed

A video popped up at banknotenews.com showing the 1 million and 100 million pound banknotes, the two most valuable banknotes in the world as far as face value is concerned.

Using the scan of the 1 million pound not that exists already, it was pretty easy to recreate the 100 million pound banknote, called the "titan".



One would probably expect the king of all valuable banknotes to have a bit more complicated of a design.  On the other hand, I guess they never leave the bank so there's no risk of it being counterfeited.

The Grand Account of Everything

Before the beginning of the universe there was God. God is and has always been the simple omnipresent and omnipotent higher power that transcends space and time. God is not its true name, and "He" is not a male, but those are the names and pronouns we use to identify "Him".

The existence before the universe is not known, but there may have possibly been many other, possibly infinite universes that were created by God and met their end. Lifeforms that entered into a relationship with God in those other universes might have been saved and exist now as what we call Angels.

14 billion years ago, God created the singularity that gave way to the Big Bang, and the laws that governed it and led it to where it is today. Much later, life evolved on Earth according to the laws of the universe that God had already calculated and put in place.

Yeshua, or Jesus as we call Him, is and was God in human form, as well as the Son of God, this relationship is not fully understood and likely goes beyond human understanding. Jesus was crucified by his own will in order to offer substitution of penalty for sins of all who believe in Him, as well as introduce humanity to the Holy Spirit, who transforms and purifies those who follow God.

In 100 trillion years, the universe will enter a state of complete entropy of energy and even the bonds that hold sub-atomic particles together will cease, and the universe will end in the Big Freeze.

Beyond that, those with fellowship with God will be ressurected safely in a permanent universe, or possibly the space between universes in the grand multiverse, either of which is God's realm or Heaven. Perhaps we will watch over future universes as we exist for eternity with God.
