"Movie icons Greta Garbo and Ingmar Bergman are among the late Swedish celebrities who will adorn new editions of bank notes in the Scandinavian country. Sweden's Central Bank says Stockholm-born Garbo, one of Hollywood's most celebrated actresses in the 1920s and '30s, will feature on the new edition of the 100-kronor bill to enter circulation in 2014-2015."
