The Office of the Ministry of the Treasury and the Bank of Taijitu are excited to announce that fore the first time in regional history, actual visual representations of our currency, the Tai (₮), will become available. By the end of the day (September 17, 2007) the designs of the ₮1 and ₮2 coins will be released, with the ₮5, ₮10, ₮20, ₮25, ₮50, and ₮100 bills following shortly.

And here they are!
First, the ₮1 coin:

The "heads" side features a scroll and pen, indicating a constitution. This reflects the strong emphasis the regional government places on the constitution.
The ₮2 coin:

The torch symbolizes the torch of liberty, reflecting both the region's origins as a place of refuge from the tyranny of the Lexicon and the region's current status as a "beacon" of freedom in the NS world.
Aspect shared by both coins:
The taijitu on the "tails" side. Obviously a taijitu (aka a ying-yang) had be included in the design. I wanted to give each coin it's own identity, and the "heads" side seemed like the best place for that. I decided both sides would feature the taijitu on the "tails" side.
"Sic Semper tyrannis". The motto of the Commonwealth (state) of Virginia. Translated it means "Thus always to tyrants". Given how and why this region was founded, it seemed appropriate.
"Free Region of Taijitu". Does American currency simply read "America"? Nope, the full name of the country "United States of America" is used. Likewise Canadian currency used "Dominion of Canada" until the left wing decided the name of country was to un-PC. But I'm getting off-topic.
Coins and bills always feature the full name of the state. Here I use the region's "full" name as shown on the region's NS page.
"MMVII". The Roman numeral for "2007". All coins (and bills) include the date they were minted (or printed). I didn't want to put "2007" on there, to boring :P
So I used the Roman numeral version of the number, to give it a more interesting look. In theory coins printed in 2008 would have a "MMVIII", in 2009 a "MMIX", etc....
So there you have it, the designs for the one and two tai coins. Bills to follow shortly.

I love how nothing has happened here for a month.
More needless Senate bureaucracy.

Actually, the Senate doesn't control the bank. It's part of the Executive Branch.

I believe this can be expanded more, but need the ideas...
