IceBrewedBeer Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Honestly, I like the US currency the way it is. Every other country looks like monopoly money. You guys can bash the way the US bills look like, I just hate bright colors in something serious like cash. =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danj205 Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Well, I guess a more complicated and stylish design is harder to counterfiet, not to mention having things like foil strips and see-through plastic windows. With the mention of the New Zealand bills, one cannot forget the special Millennium edition $10 note we had (no longer in circulation of course). Too bad I didn't keep one stored away somewhere - or I probably did, just forgot where I put it. ~ Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted September 28, 2005 Global Moderator Share Posted September 28, 2005 586591189[/snapback] Canadian bills are the best looking.. altho it's rainbow coloured, i don't care, it's easy to tell what money you have in your pocket, without looking at the numbers :p and yes, i am canadian <------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTerminator Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 The Queen's face is different on the two $20 bills. 586591950[/snapback] Ya, theyve edited that first bill, or it was a prototype or something. The real bill is like the 2nd one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan_X Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 I love the design of the Costa Rican five "colones" bill... :happy: they stop making those bills sometime ago and now they're sold a collectors item... :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InternalStorm Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 I think the Canadian bills are really nice, they have a structured look to them, and each part of the bill has a different image or symbol and it flows nicely... doesn't look all muddled up, it's very distinct. The images on the back are very nice and really show what Canada stands for. The material is different though, it is very stiff compared to the old bills which would get floppy over time, but the new ones are a lot more durable but if you do crunch it, it is pretty much stuck in a crunched position. The new US bills I think are a nice little change, but hardly very innovative as other countries have done. Here's a website with all the front's/back's of Canadian money and also has pictures of all the bills in the last series. Also note that the white areas on the Canadian bills on the front in the middle portion have holographic golden maple leafs. And the bills also have braille in the top right corners. http://www.vancouver.hm/money.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwjw1 Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Wow, the money looks as boring and stale as before. Good work US MINT!Look at other countries money, then compare it to that old' arse design, The US is wayyyyy behind in style it seems as well :| 586591158[/snapback] its not the design..but its hard to counterfiet....besides who in there right mind would want to counterfiet Canadian Currency....LOL...thats why they have more time to play with crayons.

It's (as of today): Canadian Dollar 0.8515 USD US Dollar 1.1744 CAD It was actually down to around 1.169 per US dollar or so just last week. There's tons... tons of measures in the new Canadian bills for counterfiet protection. Just looking at them they are really advanced. The US is advanced too, just not as colorful :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZZOOzzoo Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Every country I lived in use different colors for each denomination. When I visited U.S., my mom and I were naturally confused because all bills are in same colors. I guess Americans are already used to this, but it would be really convenient if bills were printed in various colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
