John Veteran Posted September 29, 2005 Veteran Share Posted September 29, 2005 I like the green bills, possibly just because I'm used to them. Green is the color of the financial world anyway, so why not have all money be green? ;) Besides, I don't like Monopoly money :p I have yet to see a currency (multi-colored or not) that really appeals to me.

n3wt Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Yeah, every time I go to the states, having the currency all the same colour and having bills all the way down to $1 always screws me. I do like $1 bills though, makes it seem like I have more money :D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viserov Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 A guy on CNN made an interesting comment. What's the big deal with this new money? To stop counterfeiting? As long as the old 10-dollar bills are still accepted as currency, they can just continue to counterfeit those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starcom826 Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 I like the look. I mean, they print the denominations in pretty large font. It's pretty hard to miss. It is rather foolish to give someone money without checking to see if you've given enough or too much. I mean, printing in different colors may save you half a second of time, but it would also cost a lot more to print. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kombolcha Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 i find it funny how out of all the money we have circulating.. the 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100.. the $10 bill is the one i never get or use.. i see more $50 and $100 than i do 10's.. everytime i use a $20 for a $8 item, i always get two 5's instead of a 10 *shrugs* so i don't care about the new $10 bill because i'll never see it or use it.

theyarecomingforyou Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 The Canadian money is probably the best looking of all, followed by the Euro. Australia has some quite colourful notes but I really don't like the designs much. The UK has boring notes and the US is really trailing everyone else.

ZZOOzzoo Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 It all spends the same, so why bother with appearances? 586591693[/snapback] I like colored bills because it becomes much easier to distinguish different denominations. On the other hand, I think U.S. bills look classier than the others because of monotone. Everyone says their country's money is the best, but they're completely neglecting the truth that South Korean bills are the best. :p Costa Rican one is very impressive by the way..

quick Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Wow its been a while since i seen Canadian bills, looking pretty nice, and the other ones posted are damn nice as well... But the US $10 and the rest are just bleh... the 10 does look dirty or something :( Lets hope in another ten years they finally get with the program.

Tomi Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Eh, that new bill doesn't look so good. I like Canadian money better. Too bad there's no size difference, as my grandpa's blind, and he has hard times figuring out what amount it is, but then again, there's those dots, but he doesn't know that too well. =\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seta-san Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 some how i knew someone would fit in an insult to americans. I'm sure a country as boring as the USA couldn't possibly have any fun and invent things like computers, the internet, the film industry, several new musical genres, breaking dancing, skateboarding, rollarblading, probably skydiving, well hell... probably every "extreme" sport. Not to mention us boring americans invented completely lame things like flight and space travel, right? Really think before you put your fingers to the keyboard and insult anothers country/culture. Still quite boring, if I may say so. Somehow the currency represents the people of the country. For the US, boring and business-like.The current Euro notes are okay, but I still likes the old Guilders. Probably they were the most colourfull notes in the world. Many tourist wouldn't even believe it was real money... 586591762[/snapback] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afterall, those who always criticize U.S. without valid reason are suffering from their own country's inferiority complex. :whistle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
