Dansk: I 1908 blev Carlsstenen udvalgt til at være hovedmotivet på den nye danske femkroneseddel, som Nationalbanken udsendte. Kunstneren bag pengesedlen var Gerhard Heilmann, som havde deltaget i en konkurrence om at lave det flotteste design til Nationalbankens nye pengesedler. Men det var tæt på, at Heilmanns forslag aldrig var blevet udvalgt, for det var i bogstaveligste forstand i sidste sekund, at han nåede frem til Nationalbanken og afleverede sit forslag inden tidsfristen udløb. Siden er mange andre stendysser blevet udråbt som motivet på pengesedlen, men ved Frederiksværk holder man fast i, at det er deres stendysse, som blev landskendt. Først ved den store seddelombytning i 1945 forsvandt Carlsstenen fra femkronesedlen.
