I liked the ones with the bird pictures. As my Dad used to say: they remind you how fast it flies away... Good point. I once asked a German (this was Soviet times) why they didn't have Mozart on their money. She answered: "It depends where the person was born." All the Euro notes (5 and above) show bridges - but none of the bridges exist. Euro notes show nothing real. Euro coins however show nations. While at an Aldi or Lidl in Germany, I have often turned coins to see their origin. Quote

I suppose it's useful if you want to pay someone under the table or leave as tips. But really you're further ahead using reward credit cards. Many ordinary, honest people use coins, paper. === If the server smiles at my bad joke, I leave a tip in the jar - so everyone hears. Edited July 22, 2023 by August1991 Quote

Oh FFS lots of people collect and follow money from all over the world. I've never held an Aussie or NZ bill, but I know what they look like. You American? Where the Mint was like TV networks & took forever to realize they already knew about colour? Never got your Stamp or Coin badge in Cub Scouts? Quote
Moonbox Posted July 23, 2023 Report Posted July 23, 2023 Everywhere I go when I travel, folks are always telling me how much they love our money and how they collect it and frame it at their homes. ?

"Did you know that people from other countries have nothing but praise for Cdn bills?" Are you referring to the 'hand-out' crowd that hovers around your man-crush hero Justin Trudeau? Is your hand out too herbie? Quote

herbie Posted July 24, 2023 Report Posted July 24, 2023 No shit. I stated that unlike the Negative anything Cdn Nellies that among aficionados of banknote design our bills are considered one of the best. And off everyone went denying that such people don't exist or that I was lying and they really hate them. About what was expected from people who object to any change in anything at all. Just gotta keep the old white guy with the big snout on there cuz he's always been there. Who the hell are Terry Fox and Chris Hadfield and Bill Reid and Wayne Gretzky anyway... nobody ever heard of them! We gotta have dead PMs because the US has dead Presidents! Like I said it's the number on the bill that matters not the picture. Just because it spends like Monopoly money it doesn't have to look as boring as Monopoly money. Quote

I understand the idea of a single European currency. But we Canadians have almost always allowed our currency to float. ==== Architectural styles? Gimme a break. Your money is like ours (or Germany's before 1989): You Europeans are not capable to say who you are. Quote
