Re: Azerbaijani Manat Symbol

Correction: the symbols appears on the new series of banknotes, but you
need good a good image resolution to see it, and need to look at the
obserse side of the banknot with the highest denomination of 100 Manat:

I can't see the symbol on other banknotes (but it may be present in a
cryptic form; I have no Manat banknotes to verify this, and I have never
seen it physically). Note that national coins and banknotes are prohibited
to be exported from Azerbaijan by foreigners.
