Data that were gained from the research evaluated with the qualitative data analysis. After the evaluation, it is seen that students’ awareness was low level related to the images, and it is seen that students did not pay attention for the images on banknotes. On the contrary, students pointed out that banknotes could have a very important role for protecting, and transferring to the future of natural and cultural heritage by natives and foreign tourists.
