Today is Chinese New Year Eve. As part of the tradition, many Chinese would have returned to their home town by now to have a reunion meals celebration with their elders/parents. To all those who celebrate this Spring Festival, a very Happy and Prosperous New Year to you all.
This is a Ten Patacas 2015 Year of the
Goat commemorative Banknote. Both the Bank of China and Banco Nacional
Ultramarino commenced issuing Chinese Zodiac banknotes since 2012,
with the first issue for the Year of the Dragon. Unlike all previous Chinese
Zodiac notes issued, this note was released much earlier, on 6.10.2014, together with
the Year of the Horse 10 Patacas notes. This is the forth issue note in the 12
Animals cycle series. The design of this note is very similar to those issued by Bank of China except the company's brand name,
it's head office building and the signatures. It is said that people who
were born in the year of the Goat will received financial help or
inherit money from unlikely sources. Well, if you are one, your days
will come, hopefully soon! Here are some famous people who were born in the Year of the
Goat - Barbara Walters, King George IV, Rudolph Valentino, Sir
Laurence Oliver (1907), Billie Jean King (1943), Pierre Trudeau (1919) and the
late Shah of Iran (1919). Goat years - 1907, 1919, 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003 and 2015.
