Thanks for the explanation Fatimah, that makes sense about the religious texts being omitted from money since its likely to become old and dirty and mistreated.
I always used to wonder why it's so rare to see deceased people on currency in Islamic countries, while in the west the opposite is true - most countries almost never put living people on money. I thought it may have had a religious origin.
