An attempt at drawing the Ankh-Morpork Five-Dollar bill. Loosely based on the United States five-dollar note. Note several features - Chairman's paw-print, and a thaumatological imp, imprisoned in the octagram, as an anti-theft-and-forgery measure. I removed the American Eagle watermark and substituted two hippos. It felt right. As all we know from canon is that Vetinari appears on the one-dollar note and there is a suggestion of other civic leader appearing on the high-value bills, I imagined a situation where the Patrician plays on their vanity and gets them squabbling among themselves - "You mean to say I'm only worth five dollars!"

I visualise Ridcully on the ten dollar note, as indeed is explicitly stated in {{MM}}; after this, perhaps Queen Molly of the Beggars on the $AM20; and of course Rosie Palm on the highest $AM50 note. I would also have some distinctly dodgy forgeries floating around from counterfeiters who haven't ''quite'' got the idea: CMOT Dibbler on a wonky-looking $3 note, or Mr Harris of the Blue Cat Club on a nine-dollar bill. (dual-level joke there...)
