Bruno sez, "The Swiss National Bank is planning to introduce a new series of Swiss Francs bills. They had a design competition. The winning design features a skull, an embryo, and a rendering of the the AIDS virus. True."

Update: Martin points out that the decision isn't final yet: "After acknowledging the jury's decision as to the result of the competition, the Governing Board of the National Bank will decide on the next steps."
