A security feature on some of the Mandela bank notes has been reported as defective. But the South African Reserve Bank is denying the bank notes may be faulty.
We were mucking about with the new SA bank notes yesterday and noticed that the reserve bank seemingly purposefully lined up Mandela’s eyes on the one side, with the lion’s eyes on the other. They have the same distance between the eyes and are exactly aligned. Hold it up to the light and it looks very cool. Pics inside..
