Why did the workers at the mint go on strike?

They wanted to make less money!
Come on! Laugh! It's a joke!
Okay, fine. Be that way. But I am starting to sympathize with them, because I have been spending the past week making banknotes for our fine nation.
Each note honors one of the five Duchies. Sometimes I consulted with the Duchy involved about proper symbols, other times when I couldn't find anyone to talk to I didn't. I hope there's nothing inappropriate or unrepresentative on any of them.
I would like to someday have these printed out, with both sides properly aligned, on banknote-appropriate paper, but I don't know how to do that. I might do some experiments later, but really I'm hoping one of you has experience with such things and can do it yourself or tell me how.
The denominations are sort of odd, but I read an article by a mathematician claiming that these were the ideal numbers for currency in order to make giving change convenient. And I thought "Well, it's more interesting than copying every other country in the world."
These notes were made in conjunction with Yvain Imaginings, Inc. Scott of Hyperborea helped with some symbols, photos, and webspace, and Baron Krasniy of Vorpmadal is working on complimentary coins that I will let him present in his own time.
