Although I can't recall the denominations involved, I do remember seeing
Polish banknotes featuring Chopin (as well as Copernicus and Maria
Sklodowska-Curie).  Are there any other composers who appear on money
anywhere? If one counts Benjamin Franklin's string quartet he is the only
composer to appear on any US money, and I'm positive that that wasn't why
he was picked.
