World Money 2

There is one souvenir you can collect in literally every country on this planet.
In my collection amongst others:
the Romanian Leu, the Brasilian Real, the Chinese Yuan, the Kazakhstani Tenge the Indonesian Rupiah and the Central African CFA franc. But also the Cambodian Riel, the Chilean Peso, the Australian, US, Singaporian and Canadian Dollar. Not to forget the European Euro, the Russian Ruble, the Venezuelan Bolivar and the Mauritanian Ouguiya.

Cameronian Bugs

I don't have a clue to which family this crawler exactly belongs but I'd say it's probably the 'Insectus Gigantus Horribilis'-clan.

It seemed to be slightly injured therefore I was able to gather enough guts to take this photo.
