About
A podcast about the people, places, and symbols chosen to appear on national currency, and what those choices reveal.
The stories behind everyday currency
Every detail on a coin or banknote is chosen for a reason. What’s On Your Money unpacks who made those choices, and what they say about a country’s identity.
History hiding in plain sight
Most people never look twice at the money in their pocket. But every portrait, landmark, and watermark was put there deliberately. This project looks at who made those decisions, and why.
