Currency as cultural capital: analysing depicted figures on banknotes
This project analyses the presence of recurring figures on banknotes and looks for patterns in the background of the depicted figures. This allows to answer questions about figures who are depicted on banknotes issued by different countries and thus have had an impact on multiple national communities. This data also allows us to analyse the backgrounds of depicted figures per country (e.g. which country has more poets than statesmen) or analyse the backgrounds of all depicted figures as a whole.
