Is it the back side that you appreciate in this design?

I guess it’s all subjective, but I feel like it’s a missed opportunity to have more highly detailed “engraving” style art.

Based on absolutely no artistic expertise, I really like the framing of the front and back of the 50:

EDIT: It seems there’s an alternate backing to the Salmon P Chase 10,000: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Reserve_Note#/media/...

My favorite design is the reverse of the current $2 bill.

I am sorry, US bills (this 10k bill included) are the opposite of cool. Dutch pre-euro bills (Antilles included) are where it's at.

They’re both cool, they have different appeals. The Dutch bills are like an art house rendition of what hipsters would want to earn and spend, the US 10,000 is like “NYC, big buildings, big cars, capitalist empire” chic.
