Information on the Mexican 20 Peso?
On the front of the 20 peso note is the resprentation of the Mexican coat of arms, an eagle perched on a cactus with a snake in its beak. This is inspired by an Aztec legend regarding the founding of Tenochtitlan (which is now the modern day Mexico City.) The Aztec people were wandering throughout Mexico in search of a sign to indicate were they should build their capital. One of their gods told them that they would find an eagle devouring a snake, perched atop a cactus that grew on an island in the middle of a lake. After two hundred years of wandering, they found the promised sign in Lake Texcoco. The clear place is a security device. It is a polymer currency note and they can be made with clear windows in the note. The back is a rendering of the Hemiciclo a Juarez, a monument to Benito Juarez, with a backdrop of stone archways and a resting lion. This is in Mexico City. Benito Juarez is a former president of Mexico and most notably, the only full-blooded Native American serve as such. For more information, since the sources below.

What do foreigners know about Atatürk?
Blue Bird is right, I'm sure, that most Americans (and probably most other people) will have only the vaguest idea, if any, of who Ataturk was. But those in the U.S. who do know something of Turkish history generally think highly of him and credit him with bringing Turkey into the modern world. Most will not think he was responsible for the horrible death march imposed on the Armenians. It is too bad that it seems Turkey is turning away these days from the heritage of Ataturk.
