 * Comment Can something be done about the lines from the creases in the paper? Those ones in the middle are particularly distracting. Dusty 777 23:56, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Support If the banknote itself is creased like that, it would be misrepresentation to eliminate the crease. And it could still be much worse — Chris Woodrich (talk) 00:00, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Support You don't see many uncirculated ones these days... ;-) Interesting to note that the obverse only has Swedish text - we Finland-Swedes have dwindled to only 5% by now. --Janke | Talk 06:27, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
