The new bill will contain a security feature called Motion, where each bill will contain up to 650,000 microlenses embedded in the printing which will allow for an underlying image to shift when the bill is moved.

Sure is ghastly looking.

L2Money.

Even Ben Franklin looks a little annoyed at it all.

Ben Franklin's had enough of your bullshit.

Edit: d'oh, typo!

Edit 2: fixed!

I like this thread.

You know what must be done.

Seems like a bit much, really.

I think Australia has the coolest money.

Aussie money is really cool looking. It's got tiny plastic windows in it!

Cook Islands Cant hear you over the sound of how awesome they are.

also nice:

Bermuda money, like all Commonwealth nations, have the Queen on everything.


New currency released last year now relegates the Queen to a tiny corner, then has nature scenes on them (with tiny oval plastic windows!)

Our 20 and 50 peso bills have plastic windows too... they're ALL plastic, actually.

Every time they make new bills over here, they get uglier and uglier

It looks like some spilled a big gob of grease on one side.

that's not grease... has Clinton been in the Treasury AGAIN?!?!

oh Monica...

Muahaha!

The Euro is actually a pretty classy looking currency. When I was over there, I liked how each country would mint Euro coins with images specific to that country on one side with common images on the other.

we are commonwealth and we only have the queen on half of our money...also gusto, canadian dollars look very similar to our aussie ones. Very suprising. I guess the old saying is true, canadian and aussie backpackers always group together because our dollar is equally worthless

I've said it before, but from the concept, to the looks and even the name, the Euro is kinda like a made up currency form a sicence fiction setting.

Yeah, that's what I like too. Plus, there's a fair number of rare mints in circulation. You know, jubilee coins and that sorta stuff. That's why I always check my change for new designs.



I've yet to see Cypriot, Slovak, Slovenian, Monegasque (i.e. from Monaco), Sammarinese (San Marino) or Vatican mints in circulation, but they're there. Although admittedly the Vatican €2 creeps the hell out of me:



I'm just not comfortable having chancellor Palpatine so close to my crotch...

Yeah, the English wanted to give the currency an english name, "in your face" style to the french. They loved it, as "Ecu" was a classic french currency. They all ended up changing it to something neutral.

Then why aren't those limey gits using the euro, pray tell?

Man, you guys stole the Euro 1 and 2 dollar coin design from the Toonie!

I don't care if Italy was doing it a decade earlier, I'm right damn it!

God save the queen!

what about Pac-Man money?

All non-USA paper money looks like its from either a board game or disney land.

Why do they all have to have bright pink and purple colors all over them? wtf is that about?

That said your coins are a lot cooler, and way the fuck more useful.

I just want to say... I keep thinking this thread says "Our MonKey is ugly" ... poor little guy!

And it's not even really that green.

American dollars are ugly as fuck and all look like they're from the 60s or something.

eta until it's all credit card issued....

The coloration (and size differences) are meant for faster recognition of which denominations you are holding. If every note is black/green and the same size, those with vision impairments and visitors unfamiliar with US currency may have difficulty.

"Gimme the green" sounds cooler than "gimme the barbie-looking neon pink." But I agree. That's one yoogly bill.

Hmm, like Australia, your money is similar to ours. War former colonies.

Finnish Mark bills before we switched to Euro:

We use american dollars here. How long before we see those new bills?
