    Thumbs up Banknotes

    everyone likes money, but do you respect it? when i get time
    i often put all the heads together in my wallet.

    my favourite banknotes are UK sterling-really feels quality and valuable.
    i also liked Dutch gildas, so colourful and decorative. looking back,
    punts were pretty cool too...

    i've only held one $20 dollar note-still have it,
    it's narrow and long, are all dollar notes the same size
    regardless of denomination?

    Punts were the business all right there was value in money back in the day.

    Yes dollars are all the same size regardless of domination, which is why it used to easy to counterfeit them, bleach a few dollar bills and print hundreds.

    You can't say that about the Euro. I spend 50 euros like it is 20 pounds! I personally hate the euro, it feels like monopoly money. Now the pound, I love the Bank Of England notes, that lovely purple blue color with the silver embossing, and of course the QEII. If that doesn't instil confidence, nothing will.
    Some of my favorite notes are:
    1. GBP
    2. HKD
    3. CHF
    4. THB
    5. EUR
    6. USD

    Gawdemmit, you gawdemm Mercain people need to mint dollar coins, and quick about it. I am sick of going to Merka and ending up with a giant roll of single dollar bills and a pocketful of pennies.

    Also, Mercain money is not *solid* enough. It feels like I'm carrying around bits of tin or something in my pocket. I want my change to be heavy and to jingle jangle.

    Please pass this on to the relevant Mercain authority. Thank you.

    I don't speak Dutch, I'm afraid.

    I don't speak French, either, but I do kiss that way
