20 Peso Bill's Secret

        The person on the old 20peso bill is not Manual Quezon.



       Take a look at historical photos of the second Philippine President, and you’ll see that he doesn’t exactly look like the person on the old 1993 20 Philippine Peso bill. Very odd, when you consider that the portrait on older (and the newest) 20 Peso bills look more similar to the famous historical figure. Why? If you look closer at the eyes and eyebrows, you’ll see that they’re exact copies of each other, except flipped. Any portrait artist will tell you that no one has exactly the same eye shape for both sides. Turns out while the master printing plate was being built, the artist was too busy and decided to duplicate the left eye
for the right, hoping that no one at Bangko Sentral would notice. No one did, and that’s why Manuel Quezon on the 1993 20 Peso bill has a slightly weird appearance.
