Petrosian now on Armenian banknote!
Sort:
I want to get one or two. Wouldn't mind some of the Paul Keres Estonian banknotes either. Maybe I'm a bit of a geek on this one but I think it is really cool!
There's the Keres one!
How about Robert James Fischer ...on a US bill, wouldn't that be the day?
Then again, maybe not right now...
In a few decades...perhaps?
Or Morphy. That would look pretty appropriate.

Yes, that would be...if ever, there was a US Chess player...I hope it would be Paul Charles Morphy too!
The one from Armenia looks best. About the one from Estonia, Keres isn't very recognizable with this depiction.

Aside from any foreign policy issues, The US has no tradition of putting anybody except politicians on their currency. This is not the case in many other countries. I remember that the artist Eugene Delecroix's face was on one of the pre-euro bills.
What an insult to Delecroix.
