…literally. To mark the 28th anniversary of the later Holy Father’s anniversary of becoming pope, Poland’s central bank issued bank notes bearing his image reports the AP. Polish Toledo has a photo and more details.

Thanks for leaving a comment regarding the Papal Zloty Banknotes in Poland on polishtoledo.com blog section.
Just wondering if you recognize “All Souls Day” Nov. 2 as you do All Saints Day on Nov. 1? In Poland both days are only preceeded in importance by Easter and Christmas.
Yes, All Souls Day is recognized here, but not to the extent it is in Poland. My parish, though, holds an annual Mass of Remembrance on that day where parishioners can publicly recognize loved ones who passed away the previous 12 months. See http://www.stcharleschurch.org/events/2005/remembrance.php.
On a personal level, All Souls Day holds special significance for me because my father passed away on that day in 1994.
