I discover two Danish banknotes have the yin/yang (called a taijitu) symbol on them. A few other banknotes and  some coins have this symbol on. ~35 items based on what I collect.

 

Could we add this Teoist symbol as a tag? Under the headline “symbols”. Or are there too few which the tag apply to?

Why would Danish notes have something like this? Is it just a similar symbol, can you provide an example?

Oh, yeah sorry, should have added the Danish note, at the very least:

It's the symbol/mark of Niels Bohr

Okay, they are ying yang ☯️ but more as a background design element. For ease of recognition I wouldn't call it taijitu though, I think only very few people would no what 8s meant by that.

I will suggest maybe just simple “Yin/yang symbol” then, or make a category for “Other symbols”, which is probably too disambigius. It could also be "Taoist symbol", although that's probably too religion specific?

35 items seem very low to create a new tag…
