| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by a large infinity symbol (∞) as a central design element, set against a planisphere underprint overlaid with vignettes of internationally recognised landmarks: the Statue of Liberty, the Pyramids of Giza, the Eiffel Tower, the Sydney Opera House, and the Oriental Pearl Tower. An EURion constellation composed of square elements is distributed across the field, with a portrait of the Greek philosopher Socrates positioned to the right. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is incorporated as a microprinting security element within the design. |

Infiny Cash is a French local currency scheme, one of several dozen complementary currency projects operating under various legal and cooperative frameworks in France since the mid-2000s. The Saint-Rémy-de-Provence issue is among the more recent of these, targeting local commercial circulation in the Alpilles area of the Bouches-du-Rhône. These notes are not legal tender and carry no guarantee of redemption beyond the issuing association's own solvency.
The presence of EURion and microprinting on a complementary currency note is notable — both are typically employed to deter photocopy fraud, and their inclusion here reflects French regulatory pressure on local currency issuers to incorporate anti-counterfeiting measures into privately printed scrip.
