The old green US money is the best, so iconic.
[img]http://www.cbc.ca/news/yourcommunity/hi_bill20_852.jpg[/img] OMFG just look at it, how can you not see the Twin Towers having sex? This is offensive to everything ever.
I actually like the polymer notes. The only downside is that they are harder to count since you have to be careful when they stick together, but I've noticed the older polymers are becoming easier to count as time goes on.
probably biased but Australian money is still the best looking polymer banknotes I've seen [IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/44/Australian_%24100_polymer_back.jpg[/IMG] the Canadian ones look kind of unprofessional in comparison
[QUOTE=A big fat ass;38346099]They should redesign the bills to actually have the World Trade Center towers and porn in them. The $100 bill will have lesbians eating each other out while the towers are exploding behind them. It could work.[/QUOTE] [url=https://dl.dropbox.com/u/32793717/misc/canadamoney.png]Click at your own risk! Contains imagines of 9/11 and lesbians eating each other out![/url] ? It's not the 100 bill, but close enough right? :v:
If we're trying to ditch the small size coinage, I want the $2 bill back. [img]http://i1.squidoocdn.com/resize/squidoo_images/-1/draft_lens16180841module152565835photo_1313900099clipart_044.jpg[/img]

While on the subject of Canadian money, The newest Loonies and Toonies are slightly lighter than the older ones and don't work in most vending machines, parking meters, etc. :v: Way to go Canadian Mint.

EDIT: although once the new polymer $10s and $5s come out, I'm gonna have the same damn problem
[QUOTE=skynrdfan3;38349715]guys come on [img]http://www.banknotes.com/US519.JPG[/img] the US has pretty much the coolest currency in the world[/QUOTE] Wasn't there an Asian country that had glow in the dark dosh? It looked pretty cool, and I'm not one of those dumb hipsters that go to glowstick raves to dryhump on LSD and Ecstacy
Although the new bills look nice, they're hard as shit to count quickly in large quantities, and once they're folded they never unfold. Plus electronic money counters won't count them. Just something else to look forward to this retail holiday season...
I've already handled some of these bills at work. They're super fucking cool. [editline]7th November 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=J!NX;38352376]change that to a 5 and your set[/QUOTE] i don't get it we have a 5 dollar bill
How on earth do you confuse the double helix with a sex toy? Just what the hell are you guys doing up there in Canada?

australian money best money [img]http://modernmoney.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/australian-money.jpg[/img] look at that colourful shit, the notes are incredibly detailed as well [t]http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W0-3yYs7sAs/TBRgwAz1mzI/AAAAAAAAIuQ/usHuZkcdgR0/s1600/au50-MD08LastAAA_b.jpg[/t]

The new coins are essentially stamped steel blanks so every vending machine to exist sees it as counterfeit currency. On the flip side, it makes it easier to counterfeit them because the machines can no longer use the conventional methods to check.

It would be even nicer if the photo and the number was flipped horizontal. I could never see those replacing USD though. The republicans would fight it every step of the way.
9/11! REALLY! The only thing i can think of is if they confused Vimy Ridge Memorial to the Canadians who died attacking it in ww1 with the twin towers. Which shouldn't be the case if any Canadian knew general history about themselves.

I think they're supposed to look 3D or something.

Saw a new 20 today, and I don't like them. The color seems kinda washed out/faded while the 50's and 100's have a more bold/distinct color.
[QUOTE=CMB Unit 01;38346030]I don't get why there's that second picture of the Queen. Why is that there? :v: It looks stuck on.[/QUOTE] The second picture is holographic, makes it even harder to counterfeit. Though they really should've stuck with like, a holographic Canadian seal or something, instead of simply repeating the picture on the note.
[QUOTE=3noneTwo;38392417]The second picture is holographic, makes it even harder to counterfeit.
