Sometimes I wonder “What did the Irish 1-pound note look like in 1937?” Oh, well the Geographical Directory of World Paper Money gives me an answer for that.
On beautiful days like we had today, you might want to take a minute or two to appreciate our friend, the Sun. Save your eyesight, and get live images of the Sun from the Solar and Heliosheric Observatory.
