Why there's a fish on Norwegian bank notes

Fishing is certainly a major contributor to Norway's economy, which is why the country's new banknotes feature a picture of a cod.

You might think the link would be obvious to Norwegian consumers, but just to make sure the country's central bank has made a comedy video to explain.

The video, which features bearded trawlermen throwing fish around, is not the usual kind of activity associated with central banks, but it has made Jack-Robert MΓΈller smile, at the Norwegian Seafood Council in Oslo.
