Smithereens swirling around
"300 miljoner Vintergator i en sedel" > 300 million smithereens swirling around in a single bank note - referring perchance to virtually worthless adópengő - tax bills - of post-World War II hyperinflation.
Example sentence:
The adópengő (in English: "tax pengő") was a temporary unit of currency of Hungary between 1 January 1946, when it was introduced to try to stabilise the pengő, and 31 July 1946, when both were replaced by the forint.
The mighty US dollar is smashing African currencies to smithereens.
Discussion

Guilloché printing
Guilloché (/ɡɪˈloʊʃ/; or guilloche) is a decorative technique in which a very precise, intricate and repetitive pattern is mechanically engraved into an underlying material via engine turning, which uses a machine of the same name, also called a rose engine lathe. This mechanical technique improved on more time-consuming designs achieved by hand and allowed for greater delicacy, precision, and closeness of line, as well as greater speed.
