Hi there!Depicting animals and humans on currency cannot be correct from an Islamic POV because that would fall under the category of picture making in a unnecessary situation. Unless of course there actually is an unavoidable reason that calls for such depictions, which I truly am not aware of!
Now as for baring the name of God, or having things like Quranic verses on them, then again this is not right, Allahu alam, given the kind of places these notes are bound to end up in, including toilets and the likes! I see no benefit in having such statements on money notes at all really, cos no one looks to their moolah for any kind of religious guidance anyways!
But yeah I'm sure you'll have some "scholars" saying otherwise...but hey they always do!!
