Idea Post something interesting about your country, state or city

Inspired by the post something about yourself thread last week, I thought this might turn out interesting.

So, post something interesting about your country, state or city that you think others might not know.

I'll start.

In 1988, Australia converted all it's bank notes from the regular paper/linen notes to a plastic polymer, effectively wiping out bank note forgery here. Since then, a number of other countries have followed suit.

Our notes look like this:







Go for it people, educate me

El Monumento a Los Héroes de la Restauración es un monumento localizado en Santiago de los Treinta Caballeros, República Dominicana. El "Monumento a la Paz de Trujillo", como originalmente se llamó, fue erigido originalmente por órdenes del tirano Trujillo en su honor. Fue diseñado por el arquitecto Henry Gazón Bona. Se inicializa su construcción en el año del centenario de la Independencia Nacional (1944), dándose su primer picazo el 30 de abril del precitado año por la Gobernadora Isabel Mayer y quedó concluida el mismo año para conmemorar los 100 años de la independencia dominicana. A la caída de Trujillo, se le dio el nombre de Monumento a los Héroes de la Restauración, el cual conserva hasta la fecha. Está ubicado en la cima de una colina en la parte este de la ciudad. El Monumento es una torre de unos 70 metros de alto, cubierta parcialmente de mármol. En su interior hay murales conmemorativos del famoso pintor español Vela Zanetti, y una escalera con 365 peldaños que llega hasta el tope. Su ornamentación constituida por una serie de cornisas de artesón en armonía con toda la obra completándose el conjunto con elegantes columnas estilo jónico con pisos y zócalos de mármol, además de las famosas lámparas de cristal de Roca.

Mas el interior del Monumento es visitado con poca frecuencia. Es al pie de la torre, en la cima de la colina, donde los santiagueros se congregan para ver la ciudad y pasar buenos ratos en compañía de amigos y familiares. También tanto de día como de noche se puede observar un hermoso paisaje de la Ciudad.

Por su silueta característica, y por su popularidad entre la gente, el Monumento se ha convertido en símbolo de la ciudad.
