According to Daily Mail, the Swedish professional football player who used to play for Manchester United, Barcelona and Juventus seems to have made a big impression on a Swedish artist who decided to immortalise his face on a 1,000 kroner note.
He took to his Instagram to share the photo with the caption 'You have Benjamin Franklin and you have me'. He said this to refer to the fact that Benjamin Franklin is on the $100 US note.
Although this note is not official Swedish currency, I think that it's a really cool accolade to have to against your name. I'm sure fans of him would agree that this would be a note that they would approve of without evening thinking twice.
You have Benjamin Franklin and you have me #bingorimer

It got me really thinking after seeing this note. Consider all those who have made an impact in our beautiful country. If there was a new bank note that was going to be distributed, whose face would you want to see on it?
