2009 - Sri Lanka - Fantasy note
One Country - One Flag
A Fantasy note printed during the celebrations, soon after the 2009
May 19th Victory over the LTTE. They were sold by street hawkers for
about Rs10/- each. Most used a scan of a circulated Rs1000/- note as
background, and also used image of HE Mahinda Rajapaksa with Victory
jesture of hands held high, which was later used in a real
currency note
issued by CBSL in 2009 November.
