Oman Rial

 I don't really collect paper money as much as I adore coins but you can't turn down a present of course, especially when it's as pretty as these two. Most of the time I find money or pick it up on a trip but this was a gift. I had this customer and I couldn't quite place his accent so I asked and he said he was living in Oman at the time. I was impressed and asked him something about the currency there and he said he had some pocket change- which was these two- and I was welcome to have them. He said the 100 baisa was supposed to be about 30-40 cents American and the 1 Rial was a dollar and something. I think they're gorgeous, especially the colors on the Rial and the design around the ship.
