Faces and buildings objectively make for ugly currency. Birds are somewhat okay, they disregard borders. I would have preferred more varied fauna or flora.

Just take a look at Maldive's currency and tell me that this proposal isn't terribly boring.

I genuinely liked how these buildings design looked. I like birds too.

I found faces more of uglier, but that is not the same as offensive. I dont feel insulted over the faces, they are just more boring to look at.

I think there is massive difference between "I prefer this other picture" or "this is ugly" and the "it is insulting and offensive" people do here.

I found currency in circulation from the Maldives Central Bank here: https://mma.gov.mv/#/currency/notesincirculation

For me, the 20 rufiyaa bill is the most interesting design.
