aneblett 0 #4 December 2, 2002 Sweet revenge on all of those Americans that laughed at me when I was on vacation and reached into my poocket to get some green and a few coloured canadian bills showed through... ...I told them that I would get them....

wildblue 7 #7 December 2, 2002 QuoteYeah, I was reading about this earlier today...every change it seems that we're getting closer and closer to having Monopoly money... Yeah, we're pretty far behind the rest of the world. US money is probably some of the easiest to counterfit. Have you ever seen currency from almost any country in Europe?it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrumpySmurf 0 #8 December 2, 2002 Amen to that - that'll show those Yanks we had the right idea all along. Next we will having them change 'color' to 'colour' (or if we are real sadistic - to 'couleur' ;) ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wlie 0 #9 December 2, 2002 I guess not just the color, but the size as well. When I lived in Singapore, their denominations were all different. And about the time I left, they were coming out with plastic money in place of paper. Really cool looking things you'd want to frame and hang 'coz it's got transparent parts and hologram. I think Australia's got them too.My other ride is the relative wind. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
QuickDraw 0 #10 December 2, 2002 I think Austrailia uses the same stuff. -- Hope you don't die. -- I'm fucking winning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have you ever seen currency from almost any country in Europe? The Canadians are lucky. It costs more to counterfeit than it is worth. Even bank robberies are going down. "What? Carry all that? Are you trying to give me a strain?" At the hardware store: "We're here to steal all your metal bolts...No..none of that 'cash' stuff, just the bolts."

Jimbo 0 #12 December 3, 2002 QuoteAnd about the time I left, they were coming out with plastic money in place of paper IIRC, that plastic money is really printed on mylar. Besides being more difficult to counterfit, the bills printed on mylar last significantly longer than bills printed on paper. The end result, the mint spends less money making money. - Jim"Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jumpy 0 #16 December 3, 2002 Quote I think Australia's got them too. Yep our Aussie notes have got little clear windows and a cirlce that has to ligne up on both sides. Can't remember when it changed to the 'plastic' stuff exactly.. something like 10 years ago i guess. I was pretty little. They where massive to. Anyone seen pacific money..all of the stuff seems like its counterfeit! In New Caledonia there 1 and 2 franc coins are literally plastic! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
