Myanmar's currency is known as " Kyat " (pronounced 'chat'), which includes 90, 45 and 15 Kyat notes, along with other more standard denominations.
Apparently some fortune teller earlier advised the late General Ne Win to circulate 25, 35 and 75 Kyat notes, because the number "9" was lucky (he came to power on the 18th of September some year). In 1987, the government dropped 25, 35, and 75 kyat notes and replaced them with 45 and 90 kyat bills. The move caused an uproar because the government refused to offer compensation for those holding the old notes and many people went broke.
