A TEA-20 can be seen on the New Zealand five-dollar note. The note, featuring Sir Edmund Hillary on the obverse (front), has one of the tractors from the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition in the background at the bottom-left corner of the note, next to the transparent fern.
A TEA-20 from the Trans-Antarctica Expedition is also depicted on a New Zealand $1.50 Postage stamp as part of a set of five postage stamps commemorating the life of Sir Edmund Hillary issued in 2008.
Harry Ferguson and the Ferguson-Black Tractor are prominent features of the £20 note issued by the Northern Bank in Northern Ireland.

Famous quotes containing the words popular culture, popular and/or culture:
“Popular culture is seductive; high culture is imperious.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Let us dismiss, as irrelevant to the poem per se, the circumstance ... which, in the first place, gave rise to the intention of composing a poem that should suit at once the popular and the critical taste.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“One of the oddest features of western Christianized culture is its ready acceptance of the myth of the stable family and the happy marriage. We have been taught to accept the myth not as an heroic ideal, something good, brave, and nearly impossible to fulfil, but as the very fibre of normal life. Given most families and most marriages, the belief seems admirable but foolhardy.”
—Jonathan Raban (b. 1942)
