This doesn't seem to be a real thing. The point of the page seems to be to promote http://dowlingduncan.com and their entry in a design contest. No coverage of the concept, if there is one, in reliable sources. — alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 04:08, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Banknote#Vertical orientation, which says much the same thing. The Colombian peso certainly appears to have a vertical design, an orientation which is slightly interesting although not deserving of a separate article. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:38, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Banknote – Vertical orientation, which would expand this section of the Banknote article. Northamerica1000^(talk) 12:08, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment— It's true that that section of the banknote article says the same thing as this article; that's because that material was added by the creator of this article. If it wouldn't mess up the debate here and I were interested in editing the banknote article, I'd take it out of there as promotional and made up as well. I really don't think that "vertical currency" is a real thing; there's nothing in any sources that I could find.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 13:20, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Try here [1] and here [2]. Bermuda here [3]. Don't know where you looked but it's one of the top Google hits.--Degen Earthfast (talk) 14:41, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I saw those. The first one is a blog reporting on the second one. The second one has an agenda to push, and the third one is a blog with pictures saying they're cool. How are these reliable sources for the existence of an encyclopedic concept called vertical money?— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 17:27, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete as promotional material. I t hink the most that could be reliably stated is that the orientation is uncommon. Mangoe (talk) 17:58, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
