I think you may be thinking of The Little Prince. (Note to
Francophiles: France's 50-franc note is a veritable riot of
Little Prince details. It's a tribute to Antoine de
Saint-Exupery, and has pictures from the book printed,
laminated, and watermarked into the paper. It's a work of
art in itself; even the fine lines, when looked at under a
magnifying glass, prove themselves to be text from the
book.)
It makes you wonder why we still have the same old faces on
the same old money....
