Atatürk Smiles at Wealth
On the Turkish lira, Atatürk smiles at you for being wealthy. If you are poor, he doesn't even look in your direction.

A staircase of Turkish banknotes from 5 to 200 lira shows Mustafa Kemal Atatürk looking progressively more toward the viewer. The joke personifies Atatürk on the currency as judging people by their wealth: the richer you are, the more attention he gives you. It is used as a sarcastic reaction to inflation, poverty, or having more money.
