Though why the Americans need colour-coded bills with their watery beer doesn't make sense to me. :P

Heh, this is what happens when the government starts thinking too much. There was an incident here in Indiana, in which the BMV had a vote on the new look of the license plates, and then went with something completely different from the outcome of the vote.

Mainly because our godamned governor is a fucking meglomaniac!!!
We had some cool assed choices, one looked like the state flag with gold numbers, another (the one I voted for) had an Indy 500 motif to it, very sharp. So what do they do, put a link to the fucking GOVERNORS' WEBSITE on a puke green and white background!!!!!! FUCK!!!!!!!

Actually I could go for redesigining our money to be like/similar Aussie money. My sister in law's girlfriend is an Aussie, and when they came back to visit here a year ago she brought some to show off, its plastic! and all multicolored and sized by denomination ! I was like COOL :D Thats the kind of cash and coin we need.


OOPS Sorry about the earlier double post.....don't know what happened there........if a mod would care to clean that up a bit , thanks.

Australian money damn well rocks. Different sizes, colours and patterns. You can't half tell that they were designed for a nation of drunkards and thieves...

Different sizes too? Does the system at least make sense in making the larger value bills larger in size as well, or is it random? Different sized bills is a bit too much for me, it'll make my wallet look untidy which greatly annoys me. I remember when I was visiting the States on a semi-regular basis and had both American and Canadian bills in my wallet at the same time, it just looked so wrong and got on my nerves.

Oh come on, how many people need to differentiate bills from a distance?

I think they should rechoose the actual print colours, not add stupid BG color. They should make the ink colors for the actual print, not the paper, as red and blue, on nice white paper. It would look nifty. A nice blood red and deep navy blue..

personally i blame those pesky Canadians. ever since they started hanging around there has been nothing but trouble. it started off innocent enough...a little Bryan Adams a little Molson once in a while and then BAM! all of a sudden your sitting in a moose hunting lodge wearing a flannel shirt, listening to Anne Murray and Gordon Lightfoot while eating round fucking bacon and getting shitfaced on the Hi-Dry you bought with godddamn pink money.

English pound notes are different sizes too with nice new shiny holograms in them and alternate patterns along with the usual silver strip, watermark and historical figures along with the Queen's head.
