Est-ce que j'halucine ou c'est une réalité?
les billets de banques des pays africains portent presque toutes l'effigie de leurs présidents! ???

Tu as raison Smail, mais cette fois il est explicable - il s'agit du portrait du feu John Garang, leur heros national.

C'est bien de rendre hommage un une figure emblématique comme John Garang, mais sur tout les billets, c'est un peut trop!! non?

salam alikoum !

Elizabeth existe bien dans toutes les pieces britanique, canadienne, .. et j'en passe :p .. chacun son icône :p
