Ok, I'm not going to lie, that money is pretty fucking rad.
Fo' realz!
My reaction the first time I found out other countries used paper money was something along the lines of 'WTF thats dum!' I really can't see why anyone would do otherwise.
The spelling would indicate I was quite young at this time, though I don't know what the acronym implies.
To be fair, we don't use paper money, but that's neither here nor there. ND nailed it perfectly when she said that money is brilliant because it's art.
It has transparent windows! You can SEE THROUGH YOUR MONEY! And those circles, when you put the notes up to the light the pattern completes! JUST LIKE IN THE DAVINCI CODE, I ASSUME! Also different sizes/colours for accessibility purposes. It's good.
So what happens when you wash U.S. notes? Not much happens to our money. You can get fined for defacing an image of the queen but I've never heard of it happening.
The notes get soggy, but they don't disintegrate like a wad of paper would. Don't get me wrong though, our bills can and certainly do wear down over time. Though the newer ones seem to be a hell of a lot more resilient.
Also, I'm designing a board game and trying to suss out all these game mechanics is a little maddening. The idea was so simple, it isn't suppose to be complicated!
It keeps feeling like it's getting more and more complicated, and that worries me a little.

Also, don't forget that each note contains the entire text of 'The Man From Snowy River' in microprint on one side, and 'No Foe Shall Gather Our Harvest' on the other, to prevent forgery. That's pretty awesome.
I hear that ours is one of the most secure currencies in the world, when it comes to forgery business? It probably helps that there's nothing here people want to buy though.

holy fuck! there it is! i didn't even know that text was on there!

and the fact that our currency is so bullshit weak agains the US dollar and the pound.
I think US money is largely cotton. not sure though.
Also, I have a nickel-sized coin with a platypus on it. I assume it's aussie money and the platypus on the nickel was an early 20th-century australian warlord.
A few months ago I had to exchange most of the Canadian money that I had saved. I think the only thing I have left is a few coins. I've got plenty of Malaysian Ringgits though!
because I can't exchange those fuckers anywhere around here.
The United States has such boring looking "OFFICIAL BURHURRHURR" money. It's cubicle material.
I'd love to see you tell that to all the sculptors and artists at the mint. Our money may not be as colorfully rad as all that, but it's still pretty fucking badass.

Chill out, man. I just want an ear.
Oh, hell, if that's all. In that case, eat up!

DR - that's awesome but WAITASECOND -- the governement has just given you money?
Oops, I TOTP'd myself. I had better quickly post this:
:winky:
Our mint is one of the best in the world, too.
I love people who can differentiate between grammar and mechanics.

Yes sir! Tax free $900! To stimulate the economy! Support jobs! To earn me extra interest in my savings account! Whatever!
Maybe you would feel better if you weren't so god damn communist.
and that's coming from this bovine pinko
